With a foreword by Faridah Àbìké-Íyìmìdé, author of Ace of Spades
'Something is rotten in the state of Denmark'
The King of Denmark is dead. When Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, meets the King's ghost and discovers he was murdered, he swears vengeance against the killer: his father's brother, Claudius, who has married Hamlet's mother and taken the throne.
Furious at this betrayal, Hamlet devises a complex plot to reveal the truth and enact his revenge. But Claudius has a devious plan of his own. Together, they will bring devastation to the entire court.
Hamlet is Shakespeare's timeless story of grief and a revenge so unrelenting that by curtain's close, all the major players are dead.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616) was an English poet and playwright, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's preeminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon" (or simply "The Bard"). His surviving works consist of 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and several other poems. His plays have been translated into every major living language, and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Shakespeare was born and raised in Stratford-upon-Avon. At the age of 18, he married Anne Hathaway, who bore him three children: Susanna, and twins Hamnet and Judith. Between 1585 and 1592, he began a successful career in London as an actor, writer, and part owner of a playing company called the Lord Chamberlain's Men, later known as the King's Men. He appears to have retired to Stratford around 1613, where he died three years later.
