Hamlet, Prince of Denmark WS To be, or not to be,—that is the question. Frailty, thy name is woman! Neither a borrower nor a lender be. This above all,—to thine own self be true. Something is rotten in the state of Denmark. Murder most foul. There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy. Get thee to a nunnery. The lady protests too much, methinks. Alas, poor Yorick!—I knew him, Horatio. How Shakespeare has enriched the English language in this work alone! The tragedies of William Shakespeare—KING LEAR—HAMLET—MACBETH—JULIUS CAESAR—and others are considered by many as the high points in the literature of the language—if not of the world. HAMLET, Shakespeare's brilliant tale of murder and madness, consistently tops lists of the greatest stage plays of all time, and the lead role may be the most coveted by the greatest actors of theater history.

Claudius had murdered his own brother and seized the throne, also marrying his deceased brother's widow. Hamlet is Shakespeare's longest play, and is ranked among the most powerful and influential tragedies in English literature, with a story capable of "seemingly endless retelling and adaptation by others". The play likely was one of Shakespeare's most popular works during his lifetime, and still ranks among his most performed, topping the performance list of the Royal Shakespeare Company and its predecessors in Stratford-upon-Avon since 1879.

George Barnard Shaw once remarked about the plays of Shakespeare that Shakespeare had presented idiot characters, how could people bear them till centuries.Was Hamlet such an idiot that could do nothing except making idle talk and searching mystery of life?Why is this the most popular play of Shakespeare? ‘Hamlet Prince of Denmark’ alive till now after centuries, perhaps more popular than it was in the time of Shakespeare or Barnard Shaw.It is the biggest proof of popularity of ‘Hamlet’ that it has been translated mostly into main languages of the world. In that natural expression of the eternal truth of human life, in ‘Hamlet’, based on the background of sorrowful ending i.e. tragedy of revenge, that is rarely found somewhere.

The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, often shortened to Hamlet is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare sometime between 1599 and 1602. Set in Denmark, the play depicts Prince Hamlet and his revenge against his uncle, Claudius, who has murdered Hamlet's father in order to seize his throne and marry Hamlet's mother.Hamlet is Shakespeare's longest play and is considered among the most powerful and influential works of world literature, with a story capable of "seemingly endless retelling and adaptation by others". It was one of Shakespeare's most popular works during his lifetime and still ranks among his most performed, topping the performance list of the Royal Shakespeare Company and its predecessors in Stratford-upon-Avon since 1879. It has inspired many other writers—from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Charles Dickens to James Joyce and Iris Murdoch—and has been described as "the world's most filmed story after Cinderella".The story of Shakespeare's Hamlet was derived from the legend of Amleth, preserved by 13th-century chronicler Saxo Grammaticus in his Gesta Danorum, as subsequently retold by the 16th-century scholar François de Belleforest. Shakespeare may also have drawn on an earlier Elizabethan play known today as the Ur-Hamlet, though some scholars believe Shakespeare wrote the Ur-Hamlet, later revising it to create the version of Hamlet we now have. He almost certainly wrote his version of the title role for his fellow actor, Richard Burbage, the leading tragedian of Shakespeare's time. In the 400 years since its inception, the role has been performed by numerous highly acclaimed actors in each successive century.Three different early versions of the play are extant: the First Quarto (Q1, 1603); the Second Quarto (Q2, 1604); and the First Folio (F1, 1623). Each version includes lines and entire scenes missing from the others. The play's structure and depth of characterisation have inspired much critical scrutiny. One such example is the centuries-old debate about Hamlet's hesitation to kill his uncle, which some see as merely a plot device to prolong the action but which others argue is a dramatisation of the complex philosophical and ethical issues that surround cold-blooded murder, calculated revenge, and thwarted desire. More recently, psychoanalytic critics have examined Hamlet's unconscious desires, while feminist critics have re-evaluated and attempted to rehabilitate the often maligned characters of Ophelia and Gertrude.

Prince Hamlet returns to Denmark upon learning of his father’s death to find his uncle seated on the throne and married to his own mother. When the ghost of Hamlet’s father reveals to him that he was murdered and asks his son to avenge him, Hamlet must decide whether he is capable of betraying his conscience to honour his father. It is a dilemma which sets in motion a chain of tragic events, the result of attempting to maintain moral integrity in a world that is dark and corrupt.

[Adapted, produced and directed by Joe Bevilacqua and Performed by a Full Cast]When Joe Bevilacqua was a student in his final semester at Kean College in 1982, he designed his own course, in which he produced and directed a radio version of Hamlet. After graduating summa cum laude, Bevilacqua saw his production of Hamlet picked up and distributed by the National Federation of Community Broadcasters and aired on public radio stations nationwide. Bevilacqua went on to become one of the most prolific radio drama producers in the United States. The master reels of his production of Hamlet were lost in the 1980s, but in January 2015, while going through some old files, he managed to track them down. This audiobook brings this creative and inspired adaptation to a new generation of listeners.
