  • Description: "Though this be madness, yet there is method in 't" Returning to Denmark, Prince Hamlet finds his father killed and the throne usurped by his uncle. Inspired by his father's ghost to see vengeance, he is forced to consider the nature of murder and violence, revenge and intrigue, desire, paranoia, madness and the very essence of humanity itself. As usual, we will be studying each of the five Acts over five sessions, with a mixture of film clips, script reading and discussion about language, themes and characters, with lots of script reading! The script is freely available online. To understand and be able to discuss plot, structure, language, characters and themes, to understand the context in which the play is set and to appreciate the craft of the writer.
