Hamlet

Staged: the origins of YA’s greatest tropes




STAGED: Timeless tropes, enduring stories – a Shakespeare collection for YA readers

In this young readers edition of the enduring masterpiece, Hamlet, by the famous playwright William Shakespeare, a young prince of Denmark is forced to seek revenge for his murdered father and king.

“A feast of literary and historical information.”—The Wall Street Journal

On a dark winter’s night, the ghost of King Hamlet visits his son and demands revenge for his murder.

The young prince Hamlet plans his vengeance but becomes entangled in a web of deceit and insanity.

A love so deep and a murder most foul incite a madness that threatens to leave a bloody mark on Denmark.

William Shakespeare’s powerful tale of revenge and twisted desire is one of the most influential works ever written.
