Before the theatre set out its director Peter Brook said that Hamlet was "the most all-encompassing" and universal of all Shakespeare's plays. "To take Hamlet in its original language around the world is a bold and dynamic project," he said.
Hamlet is Shakespeare's longest play and among the most powerful and influential tragedies in English literature. The play dramatizes the revenge of Prince Hamlet against his uncle Claudius. Claudius murdered his own brother, Hamlet's father King Hamlet and then took the throne, marrying his deceased brother's widow, Hamlet's mother Gertrude.
