A Performance of Hamlet in the Village of Mrdusa Donja

Thinking only of the prestige it will bring, a corrupt village commissar insists on mounting a production of Hamlet -- over the objections of the village teacher, who knows the tale well. The clever teacher, however, casts the son of a man the commissar has framed for theft as Hamlet, and the commissar as the usurping king, leading to a climax of truly Shakespearean proportions.
