Qui n'a jamais entendu la citation "Etre ou ne pas être", le passage le plus célèbre de toute la littérature anglaise ? Mais qui prononce ces mots tragiques, et pourquoi ? À la mort du Roi du Danemark, c'est son frère, Claudius, qui monte sur le trône. Depuis, un spectre rôde aux alentours du château d'Elseneur, et le prince Hamlet, fils du défunt roi, se porte à sa rencontre. Or ce spectre n'est nul autre que le fantôme du roi qui révèle à son fils que c'est Claudius qui l'a assassiné... Comment Hamlet pourra-t-il venger sa mort ? Surnommé le "Barde", William Shakespeare (1564-c.1616) est considéré de par le monde comme l'un des plus grands dramaturges de l'Histoire et l'écrivain le plus important de la littérature anglophone. Son existence est controversée, mais les nombreuses œuvres qu'il a léguées au monde ont influencé des générations de lecteurs et d'écrivains et continuent, aujourd'hui encore, d'être mises en scène ou adaptées au cinéma.

There was a fanfare and the king and queen entered and took their seats. Everyone fell silent as the play began. Hamlet made sure he could see his uncle's face. He didn't turn away, not even when the fat king kissed his mother's hand.
