The room is set up like a conference hall somewhere in the Arab
world, or perhaps like the legislative assembly of a small modern
state. There are desks with push-button microphones and headsets.
Behind, there is a screen, as if someone planned to give a
Powerpoint presentation. But the names on the desks are the
familiar characters from "Hamlet". The setting of Sulayman Al
Bassam's powerful, disturbing version of the "Hamlet" story is a
modern Middle-Eastern state whose old king has just died, to be
replaced by his brother, a ruthless, westernised dictator who has
married the old king's wife to legitimise his rule, and calls his
regime a "new democracy".
