FOLGER SHAKESPEARE Collection

The World’s Leading Center for Shakespeare Research

The Folger Shakespeare Library, home to the world’s largest Shakespeare collection, brings Hamlet to life with this new full-length, full-cast dramatic saving of its definitive Folger Edition.

Hamlet-Shakespeare’s most popular, as well as perhaps most puzzling play-follows the form of a “revenge tragedy,” in which the hero, Hamlet, seeks vengeance against his father’s murderer, his uncle Claudius, now the ruler of Denmark. Much of its fascination, however, lies in its uncertainties.

This new full-cast recording-based on the esteemed edition of Shakespeare’s classic-expertly produced by the Folger Theatre, is perfect for students, teachers, as well as the everyday listener.
