This Is Hamlet

We set out to create an entertaining introduction to Shakespeare’s Hamlet, something that would make the world of Hamlet more approachable and instill a desire to continue to explore it.  We think we’ve made something that rewards repeated viewing, and we’ll be anxious to hear from you what we can do to continue to make the website an even more valuable adjunct to teaching with the video.
