Time is out of joint, curse and sorrow that I came into the world to set it right.
When Prince Hamlet returns home to Denmark, nothing is as it once was. His father, the king, is dead. His mother is newly married to her late husband's brother. He runs the affairs of state, deciding the future of the country and its people. When the ghost of his dead father appears to young Hamlet one night, accusing his own brother of poisoning and calling on Hamlet for revenge, his world is thrown completely off balance. In his struggle to restore order and justice, Hamlet steadfastly fights against a system of corruption, lies, and deceit. Is his mother still on his side? – or is she even involved in the murder plot? Does Ophelia love him or is she spying on him? Who can be trusted here? Hamlet doubts everything and everyone, and he increasingly despairs of himself.
"It's about a rift between two eras. And in this rift, Hamlet perishes."
Heiner Müller, 1990
