A prince returns home to find his father dead, his mother remarried, and his uncle on the throne. Suspicious and grief-stricken, he sets out to uncover the truth behind the sudden shift in power. As the royal court tightens around him, Hamlet navigates betrayal, madness, and revenge in Shakespeare’s seminal tragedy.
