Anglické vydání Hamleta. Hamlet je slavná tragédie pojednávající o jednom dánském královském rodu. Hamletovi zemře otec, král dánský, a hned záhy si jeho ovdovělá žena (vystupující jako Královna) vezme za muže králova bratra, Claudia (vystupující zde jako Král). Zde začíná náš příběh, a sice asi dva měsíce poté, co král zemřel. Horacio, jeden z nejvěrnějších služebníků, je přivolán stráží na cimbuří, protože viděli ducha, který vypadal úplně stejně jako bývalý král. Přizvou tedy i Hamleta, který si s otcem povídá a zjistí, že Claudius jej ve spánku zabil tím, že mu nakapal jed do ucha. Hamlet slíbí, že otcovu smrt pomstí...
