Hamlet.net - Schüler Spielen Shakespeare

Alternative title: Hamlet.net - Schueler Spielen Shakespeare Hamlet.net - Students Perform Shakespeare
Synopsis: The ‘TaGGs’ theatre group from the Goethe-Gymnasium (grammar school) in Schwerin, Germany, performs its own ensemble version of Hamlet. In this production Hamlet does not have a voice. His textual ‘absence’ gives the other characters the opportunity to clarify their position in what is presented to be an intricate world of power, duty and opportunism.
