Synopsis
Written between 1599 and 1601. The play, set in Denmark, recounts how Prince Hamlet exacts revenge on his uncle Claudius, who has murdered Hamlet's father, the King, and then taken the throne and married Gertrude, Hamlet's mother. The play vividly charts the course of real and feigned madness - from overwhelming grief to seething rage - and explores themes of treachery, revenge, incest, and moral corruption.

USER: Whatsonstage.com (62.252.0.10) - 13 September 2004: 
Excellent production, blissfully free of the 20th century phsychological mumbo jumbo and concentrating on the catholic/protestant world views as the source of Hamlet's confusion and agnst. This is facilitated by Greg Hicks's sensationally haunting ghost. Stephens's Hamlet is a triumph of pace, passion and timing. Cordery's Polonius is also a more dangerous figure - though still giving plenty of much needed humour - than usual while the rest of the cast are uniformally strong. This is one of the very best Hamlets that I can remember seeing. Definitely a "must see" production....
