Letters from Elsinore

With his dying breath, Hamlet asks Horatio to tell his true story. Chris Rush has taken up the narrative where Shakespeare bids it farewell.

A dark and sometimes humorous reworking of the Bard’s most famous play. one by one the characters who live in the Prince of Denmark’s world, give a very different take on the events centring on Elsinore.

With refreshing originality, Christopher Rush breaks down the barriers between history, drama and psychology to present the reader with a richly complex inner world, which takes us from the disintegrating reality inside Hamlet’s head to the rebellious turbulence underlying Ophelia’s demure surface.

If you thought you understood Hamlet before, think again.
