Hamlet
When Hamlet returns for his father’s funeral, he is stunned to discover his uncle Claudius is marrying his newly widowed mother. Visited by his father’s ghost, Hamlet learns his brutal murder was at the hands of Claudius and spirals into a quest for vengeance that exposes the rot at the heart of the family’s empire and threatens his own sanity.
