Shakespeare’s most famous play is one of the greatest stories in the literature of the world. Distressed by his father’s death and his mother’s over-hasty remarriage, Hamlet, prince of Denmark is faced by a specter from beyond the grave bearing a grim message of murder and revenge. The young prince is driven to the edge of madness by his struggle to understand the situation he finds himself in and to do his duty. Many others, including Hamlet’s beloved, the innocent Ophelia, are swept up in his tragedy. Hamlet is played by Simon Russell Beale. Imogen Stubbs plays Ophelia, Jane Lapotaire is Gertrude, and Bob Peck is Claudius. Polonius is played by Norman Rodway. “Listening to Hamlet again, one is struck by how many of the play’s lines have become etched in our collective memory—from the Dane’s early soliloquies to his humorous exchange with the grave digger in the final act. It’s all here in this recording, of course, and the acting is largely excellent.”—AudioFile

Las circunstancias -y también la ambición, la envidia y el asesinato- van a hacer que Hamlet y Ofelia, una pareja de enamorados que, con sus respectivas familias, tenían todo el derecho a ser felices, no lo puedan ser, gestándose el desenlace más dramático imaginable.Hamlet simplemente no puede creer que su madre, sólo dos meses después de la muerte de su padre, se haya casado con su tío Claudio. La obsesión de Hamlet llega hasta tal punto que su pensamiento se vuelve cínico, llevándole a identificar la sexualidad femenina con la corrupción. Y hace a la pobre Ofelia blanco del odio que le ha despertado su madre: "Si tienes que casarte, hazlo con un tonto, porque los listos saben que los convertirás en monstruos (con cuernos)."La idea de la muerte en Hamlet es fundamental: ve en ella la solución a todos sus problemas, y especialmente al problema de la certeza, de cuál es la verdad, tan difícil de resolver en un mundo ambiguo como el nuestro. En Sonolibro, y partiendo del respeto debido a Shakespeare, nos hemos permitido adaptar varias de sus piezas más conocidas. Nuestra intención ha sido despertar el interés de aquellas personas que, por una razón u otra, todavía no se han acercado a la inagotable riqueza que es su obra.

As circumstances play out, and Hamlet is variously counselled and challenged by the King and Queen, Laertes, Polonius, Ophelia, and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, the fabric of the court starts to unravel.

Le roi du Danemark, père d'Hamlet, est mort récemment. Son frère Claudius l'a remplacé comme roi et, moins de deux mois après2, a épousé Gertrude, la veuve de son frère3. Le spectre du roi apparaît alors et révèle à son fils qu'il a été assassiné par Claudius. Hamlet doit venger son père et pour mener son projet à bien simule la folie. Mais il semble incapable d'agir, et, devant l'étrangeté de son comportement, l'on en vient à se demander dans quelle mesure il a conservé sa raison. On met cette folie passagère sur le compte de l'amour qu'il porterait à Ophélie, fille de Polonius, chambellan et conseiller du roi. L'étrangeté de son comportement plonge la cour dans la perplexité. Mis en cause à mots couverts par Hamlet, Claudius perçoit le danger et décide de se débarrasser de son fantasque neveu.
