Hamlet - A play retold for young Children - understand Shakespeare! Play Script
Hamlet - Shakespeare's classic tragedy retold for children. A reading of this play will become instrumental in demystifying Shakespeare for many children. This is a version of Hamlet for children, and there is no question that the play has been abridged and the language simplified to great effect.
