Set against the cosmopolitan city of Venice, love and money reign supreme. When a bond is forfeit for lack of payment, religious tensions erupt into a threat of bloody revenge. Meanwhile, three caskets and a dead father’s will determine the fate of a rich young woman and her suitors. When questions of justice and mercy bubble up in this dark comedy, no one will be able to tell who is right and who is wrong.

Prince Hamlet has returned from school in Wittenberg, only to discover his father dead, his mother newly married, and his uncle the benefactor of the tragic spoils. The ghost of Hamlet’s father haunts Elsinore Castle and wants revenge for his “foul and most unnatural murder”. Shakespeare's most celebrated work of rhetoric, philosophy, and introspection, Hamlet follows the young Prince of Denmark as he struggles with the consequences of his actions and inactions, and the universal questions that we all face with him.
