Maxine Peake As Hamlet

Recorded live at the Royal Exchange Theatre in Manchester in autumn 2014, Sarah Frankcom's stripped down, modern dress staging of Shakespeare's blood-smeared tale of loyalty, love, betrayal, murder and madness stars the formidable Maxine Peake as the young Prince of Denmark who exacts a terrifying revenge for the death of his father. His murderous uncle Claudius and mother Gertrude feel the full force of Hamlet's wrath.
