Claudius

Claudius
William Shakespeare tinkered with the age-old legend of the melancholy Danish prince to produce his Hamlet. Now Ken Gass reworks the story, shifting the focus from the mad prince to the relationship between his mother Gertrude and his new step-father, his uncle Claudius, now the king. In examining the seesaw struggle between the private morality and political survival the playwright reinvents old characters, creates new ones and fashions an entirely new work, a murky comedy of political intrigue.
