Viesturs Kairšs, the staging director: "This play is set in a country, where they still poison political opponents; where a mediocre person, pressed by the customs of the Middle Ages and their own inferiority complex, can become king. A country that puts everything in quotation marks and does not call things by their proper names. Maybe, such a country does not exist at all? Hamlet tries to discover the truth beneath the facade of lies, hypocrisy and rottenness. But he can never know, when and where a poison will be applied next..."
Surtitles in Latvian and English.
