Description

The young Prince Hamlet returns to his kingdom in disarray. His father's death and his uncle's hasty marriage to his mother have created a sense of unease, with an armored ghost claiming to be the King urging him to seek revenge. However, this desire for action conflicts with Hamlet's need to think critically about how to address the problems plaguing the kingdom. As he navigates this complex situation, Hamlet must consider the potential consequences of his actions on his family and the realm as a whole. This edition of Hamlet offers clear guidance to help actors and students understand the play's complexities, with facing-page notes providing definitions, information about textual variants, lineation, metrical ambiguities, and pronunciation. The Arden Performance Editions are designed to be useful and accessible, featuring a well-spaced text, space for personal annotations, and a short introduction to the play.
