To be or not to be: Shakespeare classic seen through the eyes of a new generation.

Hamlet’s father, the king of Denmark, has been murdered. His uncle Claudius is now on the throne and married to Gertrude, Hamlet’s mother. One night, the ghost of Hamlet’s father tells him Claudius is the murderer. Hamlet is at a loss. Is the ghost telling him the truth? Should he avenge his father and kill Claudius? Playing a ruthless game in order to discover the truth, Hamlet will take no prisoners. 25 of Amsterdam’s youths perform their version of Hamlet in the Amsterdam Stadsschouwburg. It is a depiction of the adolescent Hamlet, struggling with truth, death, his mother, love, friendship and, mainly, with himself.
