William Shakespeare is a story of tragedy in murder and revenge in the royal halls of medieval Denmark. Claudius, the king's brother, indulges with the queen, poisons the monarch and seizes the throne, accepting the widowed Gertrude as his bride. Hamlet, the son of the murdered king, saddened by the death of his father and hasty marriage of his mother, faces the ghost of the late king, who shows the way of his murder. Seeking revenge, Hamlet recreates a monstrous act in the play with the help of some traveling actors, tormented by the evil Claudius. In a visit with his mother, Hamlet expresses his anger and disappointment about her marriage quickly untimed. Thinking of a hidden spy camera in his mother, that Claudia is hiding, he mistakenly kills the intervention of the consultant, Polonius, the father of Ophelia and Laertes. Claudia, under the pretext that Hamlet will be threatened by his subjects for killing Polonius, sends the prince to England.
