This is the version of HAMLET that you have never seen... until now (or until it had been published, if you happened to be around in the late '60s). The story starts off with the two main characters playing with coins. From there, it gets weirder. The end is something to be expected if you have read HAMLET (which is how Stoppard got the title for his play; for those curious as to the source, check V.ii, line 400). It helps if you read HAMLET before you read this play. But you can read this first and then look at the original source; it's up to you. This is a play you'll wish you had seen when it was playing in the theatres.
