Hamlet, the heir to the Danish throne, arrives home to the funeral of his father. He finds his mother married to his uncle, the new king. Mourning turns into a wedding. However, Hamlet cannot find peace, he is tormented by questions and doubts and starts to investigate. Hamlet, Horatio, Laertes, Rosencrantz, Guildenstern and Fortinbras are peers of a young generation. They study abroad, start life together, but all meet with a different fate. In addition to which they have to carry their fathers’ fates as well. Where will each of them end up? It is one of the questions the performance strives to answer.

“This great tragedy is a tale conveying the sheer internal paradox that is the modern essence of human life cast into the world.” (István Géher)

It is the first time Hamlet is being staged in the 122-year-old Vígszínház.

With special thanks to Ádám Nádasdy.
