AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Hamlet is a body without organs. A privileged ingrate, a serial procrastinator, and above all: a desiring machine.

'His dad's dead, his mother wants a grandchild and his therapist is the father of psychoanalysis. And as the monarchy teeters on the edge of destruction, a new leader has taken the stage with visions of a prosperous Denmark committed to freedom, the individual and the market. Stuck in a cycle of self-obsession and serial procrastination, will the weight of History itself be enough to make Hamlet wake up, grow and stand up?

'There's never been a better time to be a Dane.' (Production summary)
