Play Scripts
A play should give you something to think about. When I see a play and understand it the first time, then I know it can't be much good.
T.S. Eliot, New York Post, 22 September 1963

Playing "Hamlet" is considered the greatest challenge for any actor, interpreting verses which are concerned with ideas of theatricality and performance, along with the struggle to discover one's real self. "Hamlet" seems to embody the struggle of the individual soul set afloat on a sea of troubles and madness. "Hamlet" is a play that never seems to go out of date and this is a book that many people would consider a must for their bookshelf.

Having captured Juliet as his brideaby reckless warahe returns home to find that his mother has murdered his father and married Macbeth. Enter Iago, who persuades Hamlet that Juliet is having an affair with Romeo. As the Prince goes mad with jealousy, King Lear mounts his army. . . This play promises to be the most provocative and entertaining work to be added to the Shakespeare canon since Tom Stoppardas "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead,"
