Summary: A stage performance of William Shakespeare's Hamlet. The story of Hamlet who is visited by his father's ghost who implores him to kill his murderer. Hamlet becomes torn between avenging his father's death and his reluctance to spill blood.

Kevin Kline directs this 1990 New York Shakespeare Festival production of HAMLET, a production that received great critical acclaim during its stage run. This version was specially produced for television, and all the strengths of the production, mainly its fine cast of daring actors, shine through. Kline stars as Hamlet, the tortured prince, along with Dana Ivey as Gertrude and Brian Murray as Claudius, and this trio of principals take on the classic material with a vigour and freshness rarely seen in other, glossier, filmed versions of the play.
