SYNOPSIS
The scene is St.
Petersburg, Russia in the year 1900. A young Russian actor has gone mad
in the part of Hamlet, murdering the actor playing Polonius, and has been
confined to the St. Elizabeth Institute for Nervous Disorders. In an effort
to determine whether the actor killed because he was insane or is feigning
insanity because he was killed, his doctor grants him permission to act
out a personal psychodrama to explain the events leading up to the murder.
