About this listen

Hamlet is one of the most famous, most performed and most analysed pieces of literature ever written. Every generation sees something of themselves in the anguished and tortured figure of the Prince of Denmark, as he grapples with his conscience and agonises over the right thing to do. But why does the play continue to resonate? What are the fundamental questions it asks? Why do so many people seem to go mad? What was the theatre like in Shakespeare's day, and who went to it? And why do some of the greatest actors find the part of Hamlet impossible to perform? Join Charlie and Rupert as they discuss these and many other questions.
