William Shakespeare - Hamlet

Hamlet is commonly regarded as one of the greatest plays ever written. Drawing on Danish chronicles and the Elizabethan vogue for revenge tragedy, Shakespeare created a play that is at once a philosophic treatise, a family drama, and a supernatural thriller. In the wake of his father's death, Prince Hamlet finds that his Uncle Claudius has swiftly taken the throne and married his mother, Queen Gertrude. The ghost of the dead king then appears and charges Claudius with 'murder most foul.' Hamlet is called to revenge his father's death: but will he be able to act before it is too late? <br /><br /><b>Cast:</b><br />Claudius, King of Denmark - <a href="http://michael.sirois.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Michael Sirois</a><br />Gertrude, Queen of Denmark, and Mother of Hamlet - <a href="http://amingledyarn.wordpress.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Elizabeth Klett</a><br />Ghost Of Hamlet, the Late King of Denmark - <a href="http://librivox.org/reader/2014" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">dolohov</a><br />Hamlet, Son to the former, and Nephew to the present King - <a href="http://www.johngon.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">John Gonzalez</a><br />Polonius, Lord Chamberlain - <a href="http://timberdine.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Andy Minter</a><br />Laertes, Son to Polonius - <a href="http://librivox.org/reader/26" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Denny Sayers</a><br />Ophelia, Daughter to Polonius - <a href="http://librivox.org/reader/28" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kristin Hughes</a><br />Reynaldo, Servant to Polonius - <a href="http://www.tomnjess.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Thomas Wells</a><br />Horatio, Friend to Hamlet - <a href="http://librivox.org/reader/2624" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">David Nicol</a><br />Rosencrantz, Courtier - <a href="http://librivox.org/reader/19" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kara Shallenberg</a><br />Guildenstern, Courtier - <a href="http://www.karenrsavage.com/blog/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Karen Savage</a><br />Francisco, a Soldier - <a href="http://librivox.org/reader/622" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Andrew Lebrun</a><br />Bernardo, Officer - <a href="http://librivox.org/reader/2045" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">David O'Connell</a><br />Marcellus, Officer - <a href="http://librivox.org/reader/364" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jordan Mueller</a><br />Voltimand, Courtier - <a href="http://www.tomnjess.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Thomas Wells</a><br />Osric, Courtier - <a href="http://librivox.org/reader/2015" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">allex</a><br />A Gentleman, Courtier - <a href="http://librivox.org/reader/55" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">David Jaquay</a><br />Another Gentleman - <a href="http://librivox.org/reader/1492" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">mb</a><br />Clown One, Grave-digger - <a href="http://librivox.org/reader/113" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Brennan Holtzclaw</a><br />Clown Two, Grave-digger - <a href="http://web.mac.com/xrystabelle/Nowak_News/Christies_World/Christies_World.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Christie Nowak</a><br />A Priest - <a href="http://librivox.org/reader/1034" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kevin O'Coin</a><br />Fortinbras, Prince of Norway - <a href="http://librivox.org/reader/1492" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">mb</a><br />A Captain & his Army - <a href="http://librivox.org/reader/622" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Andrew Lebrun</a><br />English Ambassador - <a href="http://librivox.org/reader/622" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Andrew Lebrun</a><br />First Player - <a href="http://librivox.org/reader/87" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rosalind Wills</a><br />Player King - <a href="http://librivox.org/reader/26" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Denny Sayers</a><br />Player Queen - <a href="http://librivox.org/reader/56" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kirsten Ferreri</a><br />Player Lucianus - <a href="http://librivox.org/reader/2015" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">allex</a><br />Group Of Danes - <a href="http://librivox.org/reader/2045" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">David O'Connell</a><br />Lord - <a href="http://www.laurentunnell.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LaurenT</a><br />Servant - <a href="http://web.mac.com/xrystabelle/Nowak_News/Christies_World/Christies_World.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Christie Nowak</a><br /><br />Stage Direction - <a href="http://librivox.org/reader/87" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rosalind Wills</a><br />Editors - mb & Jc Guan<br />Dedicated Proof-Listeners - Elizabeth Klett & mb<br />Book Coordinators - J.C., Scott Sherris, Jc Guan, Elizabeth Klett & mb
