Gertrude MITEM

The rewriting of the story of the enigmatic Danish prince, Hamlet, from the perspective of the playwright Radu F. Alexandru, shatters many of the uncertainties of the Great Will's play, giving the famous characters unsuspected meanings and valences. In Gertrude, the Queen-Mother, the bearer of the ultimate blame, becomes the diabolical mind behind a scenario about adultery, lies, murder and power. Who is the King's murderer? Does s/he deserve punishment or forgiveness? Did the father kill the father? - are questions that seek answers in an action where suspicious motives intertwine with the suspenseful moments of a thriller. The author does not shy away from Shakespearean questioning, showing us the young Hamlet - with all his anguish - tirelessly searching for the truth.
