Hamlet

ABOUT THE PLAY

Hamlet's father has died, his mother has married his uncle, the uncle has taken the throne – and suddenly a ghost appears, claiming that none of it was an accident. What do you do with a truth you were never meant to learn? Some questions never grow old; only the people seeking answers to them change.

This story of revenge, conscience, madness and the courage to think when others would rather remain silent is presented at Divadlo Na Jezerce in a production directed by Radek Balaš from 11 December 2026.
