Opis

"The rest is silence," were the final spoken words of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, before his tragic life's ending. Upon these final words, the story of all that transpired within Hamlet's mind and at Elsinore Castle died in that final breath. Those at the castle that witnessed the circus of destruction only recall brief glimpses of the royal party's fall. Upon the promise to a prince, Horatio holds a story within him that the world must know. He carries the memories and knowledge that would shed light on the darkness of a collapsed and plagued empire. Now it is up to him to make sure that Hamlet's story be told to clear his name from the perceptions of madness. In Hamlet's Story Must Be Told, written in two parts, the mystery is finally unearthed with what transpires after the fall of the Danish Empire. The first part, The Elsinore Confessions, reveals the confessions of the staff within the castle, who witnessed events that were previously undocumented in the play. These candid, illuminating confessions bleed truth into what the main characters and royal family themselves may not have experienced during the actions of the play. The second part, Horatio's Saga, tells the story, through Horatio's eyes, of his experience to do what he was destined by Hamlet to do, "tell Hamlet's story." Through the streets of London, Horatio looks to connect with publishers willing to circulate his controversial manuscript containing the events from Denmark, as well keep himself alive and out of the capture of the Danish Royal Guards, and the English government, who are also entwined into the hurricane of blame.
