We will discuss William Shakespeare's Hamlet.
Summary: A tale of betrayal and revenge! It is consider Shakespeare's best play due to psychological complexity, powerful themes and masterful storytelling.
I highly recommend the SmartPass audiobook on Audible for Hamlet. You can listen to the guided tour of the play (fully acted with guided commentary by the Passmaster to explain the language, jokes, etc.) or listen to just the play acted out by a full team.https://www.audible.com/pd/SmartPass-Plus-Audio-Education-Study-Guide-to-Hamlet-Dramatised-Commentary-Options-Audiobook/B0036MRLII
