Christopher Rush

Join us to celebrate the launch of Letters From Elsinore, the latest book by renowned Scottish author Christopher Rush.

With his dying breath, Hamlet asks Horatio to tell his true story. Christopher has taken up the narrative where Shakespeare bids it farewell.

A dark and sometimes humorous reworking of the Bard’s most famous play where, one by one, the characters who live in the Prince of Denmark’s world give a very different take on the events centring on Elsinore.

With refreshing originality, Christopher breaks down the barriers between history, drama and psychology to present the reader with a richly complex inner world, which takes us from the disintegrating reality inside Hamlet’s head to the rebellious turbulence underlying Ophelia’s demure surface.

If you thought you understood Hamlet, think again.

Christopher has delighted readers at our events in Ely and St Andrews before, so we are pleased to welcome him here in Edinburgh for the first time. Do join us for what promises to be an enthralling evening.
