The Duchess falls for the handsome messenger bearing the Duke's courtship; the problem is, the messenger is Viola, a grieving sister who has fallen in love with the Duke she works for. Everyone plays the fool, the circle of lovers goes round and round, and Viola's resurrected brother Sebastian is the puzzle's missing piece.
Recorded 6pm, 30/08/2021, the second play I read to my Grandma Iris as she lay on her deathbed.]]></description>

Shakespeare's Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, retold by Leon Garfield, read by Darren J. de Lima. Shakespeare's greatest play, Hamlet holds death in his hand and ponders revenge, "To be, or not to be?", before falling victim to the murderous poison of Castle Elsinore.
I'll swear I recorded it previously, but this version recorded 2nd on 27/09/2021 in the empty bedroom in Grandma's empty house.]]></description>
