Read Hamlet

A king divides his kingdom among his daughters and goes mad on the heath.

Three witches, one prophecy and a Scottish couple who take it literally; the short, bloody one.

Two households in Verona and five days from the ball to the tomb.

Iago whispers and the Moor of Venice believes him; the tragedy of a handkerchief.

Lovers, fairies and a weaver with a donkey's head in an Athenian wood.

The scholar's bargain with Mephistopheles; Goethe took sixty years to finish both parts.

Two tramps wait by a tree for someone who does not come; the play of the century.

A mermaid trades her voice for legs that hurt at every step, and does not get the prince; Andersen's ending is not the film's.
