The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, usually referred to as Hamlet, is a tragedy by William Shakespeare that is his longest and probably his most popular work, leading the list of performances of the Royal Shakespeare Company for over 100 years and second only to Cinderella as the most filmed story in the world.
Set in the Kingdom of Denmark, the play dramatizes the revenge Prince Hamlet is visited by the ghost of his father, King Hamlet, and directed to exact revenge for his murder by his brother, Hamlet’s uncle Claudius, who subsequently seized the throne and married his widow, Hamlet's mother Gertrude. Hamlet agrees and decides to feign madness, and has doubts about the ghost. The plot proceeds with intrigue, betrayals and tragic errors, with Hamlet staging a play for the court enacting a death of a king by a usurper, and culminating in a deadly sword fight. Memorable characters include the elderly advisor Polonius, his son Laertes, his daughter Ophelia, and Hamlet’s friends Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, and the skull of “poor Yorick”, a jester from Hamlet’s childhood.
