Prince Hamlet suspects foul play in the death of his father when he returns to his kingdom to find his mother married to his father’s brother not long after his father’s death.  He sets a trap to catch King Claudius in his misdeeds, but Claudius is cautious.  In the meantime, in a rage, Hamlet mistakenly murders his girlfriend’s father and the two young lovers both descend into madness.  A classic tale of love, murder, madness and revenge.
