Show synopsis<\/b>:<\/p>

It is often overlooked that Shakespeare turned four of the most boring words in the English language into the most famous line in universal theatre, "To be or not to be". How can something so abstract resonate across so many cultures and eras? Some say the answer is simple: ""to be!"" Rather than wondering about existence, questions that are unanswerable, we should simply embrace life and move on.<\/p>

The question continues to haunt many people. Its importance lies in the unknown 'why'. Sometimes we do pointless things, really terrible things, for no apparent reason or benefit. And we run around in despair asking ""Why?! Why?!\u201d\u201d Humans are the only animals who can be irrationally cruel, who can commit spectacular acts of violence both on themselves and on other people.<\/p>

Perhaps this is related to the fact that humans are the only beings who can question their own existence. Sometimes people do wonderful or terrible things just to prove that we exist. Hamlet's dilemma embodies this struggle. But not directly, but enigmatically, like a ghost around the dark corridors of Elsinore.<\/p>
