MPCDS presents HAMLET

MPCDS presents WIlliam Shakespeare's classic thriller HAMLET!

Something is rotten in the state of Denmark. Old King Hamlet has died under suspicious circumstances, and his son--Hamlet, the Prince of Denmark--wants answers. Hamlet's mother, the widowed queen Gertrude has married Hamlet's uncle, the king's younger brother Claudius. Hamlet begins to mistrust everyone around him, including his girlfriend Ophelia, whose father Polonius is Claudius's most trusted advisor. Everything changes when the Ghost of Hamlet's father appears to the young prince with a call for revenge: His death was no accident. It was murder!

Shakespeare's masterpiece, considered by many to be the greatest play in the English language, is a gripping tale of mystery and revenge. Diabolical plots intersect in a web of political intrigue that traps everyone in its thrall. Can Hamlet's catch his father's killer before the killer catches him?
