Eleven-year-old Philip sees the ghost of his father, who died in a car accident. He assures his son that the accident was set up by his own brother, the boy’s uncle. The ghost orders revenge for his death. Meanwhile, Uncle Alan takes control of both the family pub and Philip’s mother... “The Phantom Fathers Club” is a new, provocative reading of Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” with an unpredictable ending. The young Hamlet himself (Philip) becomes the narrator, and his inner world and experiences come to the fore. By placing a classic plot in a modern setting, Haig does not just play with the classics, generously scattering Easter eggs, hidden quotes and witty reversals throughout the text. It reveals new (and shockingly relevant) meanings to a familiar story, showing familiar images in a completely unexpected light.
