As a country arms itself for war, a family tears itself apart. Forced to avenge his father鈥檚 death but paralyzed by the task ahead, Hamlet rages against the impossibility of his predicament, threatening both his sanity and the security of the state.
Hamlet is the second of three recorded-live NT Live productions that will be presented by 成人B站 SCREENS this fall. NT Live is the National Theatre's groundbreaking project to broadcast the best of British theatre to cinemas around the world.
