Hamletmachine

By Heinrich Müller, translated by Carl Webber

Müller wrote Hamletmachine in 1977 in East Germany, and called it the description of a petrified hope, an effort to articulate a despair so that it can be left behind. Banned by the East German authorities, it received its first staging in Brussels in 1978. Created in an era when communism began to crumble and capitalist society was to emerge from the debris, the play places Hamlet and Ophelia in the midst of 20th century political, economic and social change.
