Hamlet: A BBC Radio full-cast dramatisation Audiobook (Free)

Jamie Parker stars while the Prince of Denmark in this brand new BBC Radio 4 full-cast production.

At the Castle of Elsinore in Denmark, the court is uneasy. The king of Denmark has died and the throne continues to be claimed by the king’s brother, Claudius.

Prince Hamlet, still in mourning for his dad, distrusts Claudius and believes that what has happened on the courtroom ‘cannot come to good’. The ghost of his dad has informed him he was murdered by Claudius. Could it be accurate? He arranges for any troupe of players to emulate such a murder before the court, in the wish that the reality will out.

As conditions play out, and Hamlet is variously counselled and challenged by the King and Queen, Laertes, Polonius, Ophelia, and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, the fabric of the court begins to unravel. Quickly Hamlet’s indecision network marketing leads to some tragic events – also to what end?
