Claudius
by Ken Gass
William Shakespeare tinkered with the
age-old legend of the melancholy Danish prince to produce his Hamlet.
Now Ken Gass reworks the story, shifting the focus from the mad prince
to the relationship between his mother Gertrude and his new stepfather,
his uncle Claudius, now the king. In examining the seesaw struggle between
the private morality and political survival the playwright reinvents
old characters, creates new ones and fashions an entirely new work,
a murky comedy of political intrigue.
