Hamlet
1986-01-01 · Runtime unavailable · Not rated
On the spare stage of J. Svoboda, director M. Macháček focuses on exploring the relationships between the characters and their motivations. In this version, the story is gradually revealed like a detective story, from the ghost’s message through the play-within-a-play to the murderous finale. Though not originally received well, the production became a Prague theatre hit before closing in 1988.
