The King of Denmark, father of Hamlet, died recently. His brother Claudius replaced him on the throne and married Gertrude, the widow of his brother. The ghost of the king comes to reveal to his son the name of his murderer and solemnly charges him with avenging him. To carry out his project, he decides to feign madness and plunges the whole court into perplexity.
Le spectre du roi du Danemark apparaît à Hamlet, son fils, pour le prévenir qu'il a été assassiné par Claudius, son frère, avec la complicité implicite de la reine. Préparant sa vengeance, Hamlet simule la folie et abandonne sa fiancée Ophélie qui perd la raison et se noie. Une version audio téléchargeable et des fiches pédagogiques sont accessibles sur Internet.
