TITLE: Hamlet AUTHOR: William Shakespeare DESCRIPTION: 'Wir kennen diesen Hamlet, wie wir unser eigenes Gesicht kennen, das wir oft im Spiegel erblicken, und das uns doch weniger bekannt ist, als man glauben sollte...', schrieb Heinrich Heine einst über Shakespeares wohl tiefgründigstes Drama, für das dieser ganze Passagen samt der Übersetzungsfehler aus den 'Essais' des französischen Moralphilosophen Michel Eyquem de Montaigne übernahm. Es geht um Schuld und Sühne, List und Tücke, Irrungen und Wirrungen. Prinz Hamlet ist von der Universität Wittenberg an den dänischen Königshof zurückgekehrt: sein Vater ist tot und Claudius, Bruder seines Vater und neuer König, hat Hamlets Mutter Gertrude geheiratet. In der Nacht erscheint der Geist des Vaters und bestätigt, was Hamlet bereits geahnt hat: Claudius hat seinen Vater ermordet. Hamlet soll den Mord rächen, dabei aber seine Mutter schonen. Um seine Umgebung zu täuschen, spielt er den Verrückten. Doch als er den Mord an seinem Vater von einer Schauspieltruppe nachstellen lässt, versteht Claudius die Anspielung. Er schickt Hamlet in Begleitung zweier Spitzel nach England, um ihn dort ermorden zu lassen. Hamlet kann entkommen, doch seine Rückkehr entfacht eine neue Welle der Gewalt. Jede Geistesepoche fand ihre Probleme im 'Hamlet' gespiegelt. Es gibt eine klassische und eine romantische, eine realistische und eine symbolistische Hamlet-Deutung

Every episode plays from its archive, which this site does not copy; rights are as each archive states them. Nothing here is called public domain on this site's say-so. In the United States, sound recordings first fixed before 15 February 1972 have federal protection under the Music Modernization Act of 2018, for most until 2067 at the latest, so most American radio of the 1930s to the 1950s is not in the public domain there. Each set shows the licence, mark or statement its archive gives, and says whose it is. Horror, crime, war and westerns are for teenage and adult profiles, racist caricature for adults only, and children’s profiles hear what was made for children. More about these archives.
