17th century. Shakespeare wrote the role of Hamlet for Richard
Burbage, tragedian of The Lord Chamberlain's Men. Although the story was set many centuries before, at The Globe the play was performed in Elizabethan dress. Hamlet was acted by the crew of the ship Red Dragon, off Sierra Leone, in September 1607. The play was first performed in South East Asia (present's Indonesia) in 1609.
Hamlet is often played with contemporary political overtones: Leopold Jessner's 1926 production at the Berlin Staatstheater portrayed Claudius' court as a parody of the corrupt and fawning court of Kaiser Wilhelm. Hamlet is also a psychological play.
