How did Claudius become the man he is in Shakespeare's Hamlet? What were the real reasons behind the murder of his brother? Was Gertrude in on the plan? How does he really feel about his nephew? These questions will all be answered in this drama spiced with ghosts, pirates, magic and political skulduggery.
Claudius is one of the most interesting characters in the Shakespearean canon. In Hamlet he is a murderer, and yet a more than capable ruler. More enigmatically, he either marries Gertrude because it gives him access to the throne or because he loves her desperately; he kills his brother either because he is ambitious and wants power, or because his brother is a drink-sodden meathead, or, simply, because he is in love with his brother's wife. Exploring Claudius' earlier career, this drama is an unravelling of this enigma.
A dark, exciting story that touches on the events and people in Shakespeare's play, and brings us to the moment where Hamlet begins.
From the extraordinary imagination of Sebastian Baczkiewicz, writer of the successful Pilgrim series.
