Opis

Presents a re-working of Shakespeare's "Hamlet" set in the Middle East. The setting of this version of the "Hamlet" story is a modern Middle-Eastern state whose old king has just died, to be replaced by his brother, a ruthless, westernised dictator who has married the old king's wife to legitimise his rule, and calls his regime a "new democracy".
