The first two podcasts in our annual Shakespeare revision series prior to the Leaving Certificate exams gathered together individual short talks on 10 characters in Hamlet - the first one was on 1) Fortinbras, 2) Horatio, 3) Laertes, 4) Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, 5) Polonius; the second on 7) Ophelia, 8) The Player King, 9) Osric, 10) The First Gravedigger.
This podcast, our 28th overall, deals with the first scene in the play, a scene which sets a mood of uncertainty, and one which prefigures central themes of the play, such as the disruption of the natural order and revenge.
You can also listen to our podcasts via the 'widget' on the sidebar to the right, or by visiting our podcast page here (if you have iTunes on your computer you can also subscribe by clicking here, and so download our episodes to your MP3 player, or by searching for 'SCC English' in the iTunes Store).
