HAMLET - SHORT DRAMA SCRIPT

Ini adalah tugas saya pada mata kuliah DRAMA menjelang UAS. Drama terpanjang dari sastrawan besar Inggris William Shakespeare. Teks asli drama ini masih menggunakan bahasa Inggris kuno yang masih asing dan terdiri dari berpuluh buluh halaman. Saya sudah mencari ke berbagai sumber namun tidak ada yang pendek, paling  pendek tetap 30 halaman. Tapi untunglah kami berhasil menyusun naskah ini hasil adaptasi dari A fifteen minutes Hamlet by Top Stoppard  yang telah di edit oleh grup saya. Dan tugas ini berhasil membuat kami begadang beberapa malam bahkan semalaman tidak tidur haha.

 Drama ini bercerita tentang Raja Denmark yang baru saja meninggal. Arwahnya tidak tenang dan datang mengahampiri anaknya, Pangeran Hamlet. Dia mengatakan bahwa kematiannya disebabkan oleh pembunuhan yang dilakukan adiknya sendiri Claudius yang ingin merebut tahtanya sebagai raja. Hantu raja ini menyuruh Hamlet membalas dendam pada Claudius. Sementara Claudius sudah menjadi raja dan menikah dengan istri raja sekaligus ibu Hamlet, Gertrude.Tak disangka Gertrude sudah tahu tentang pembunuhan yang dilakukan Cladius, namun dia hanya diam dan pura pura tidak tahu. Hamlet murka, dia ingin membunuh ibunya sendiri yang durhaka pada suaminya. Saat akan menusukkan pedang pada ibunya, Polonius sang penasehat kerajaan tiba tiba datang dan menjadi tameng Gertrude, Polonius mati dengan tanpa sengaja dibunuh Hamlet. Ophelia anak Polonius sangat sedih dan depresi mendengar berita kematian ayahnya karena Hamlet, padahal Hamlet adalah orang yang dia cintai. Tak sanggup menerima kenyataan dia pun bunuh diri dengan menusukkan pedang di dadanya. Melihat kejadian ini Laertes kakak Ophelia sekaligus anak Polonius sangat marah terhadap Hamlet, dia menantang Hamlet untuk beradu pedang dan membunuhnya. Merekapun berduel di depan kerajaan. Claudius yang licik memasukkan racun di minuman Hamlet saat dia bertarung dengan Laertes, namun tak disangka minuman itu malah diminum Gertrude, Gertrude pun mati. Di tengah pertandingan Hamlet dan Laertes, Laertes lengah saat melihat Gertrude meminum racun, Hamlet  berhasil menusuk Laertes dan membunuhnya. Sebelum mati Laertas berkata bahwa Claudius lah yang menyuruhnya berperang untuk membunuh Hamlet. Hamlet semakin marah, tanpa pikir panjang dia mengayunkan pedang dan membunuh Claudius. Hamlet lega telah membalaskan dendam ayahnya, namun disisi lain ia baru sadar bahwa semua orang yang dekat dengannya telah mati. Ayah, ibu, penasehat istana, Ophelia gadis yang dicintainya, dan Laertes temannya. Dia merasa bersalah dan depresi, ia memutuskan mengakhiri hidupnya dengan meminum racun.
