What do you do if you get banned from the school trip for disrupting a performance of Shakespeare's Hamlet, and you don't want to tell your parents? The solution for Russell and his mates is to hide out in London. But when their plans go wrong, Russell is left alone with his thoughts. How can he cope with his father's death? Why did his mother remarry so quickly? Does he have to get on with his step-dad? Sleeping rough, Russell has plenty of time to think about life, death and Hamlet...at Heathrow Airport.

From AudioFile:
In trouble at school again, Russell sneaks to London to avoid punishment. He masquerades as a traveler at Heathrow Airport for five days and four nights. He passes the time by reflecting on his father's unexpected death, his mother's remarriage, and his identification with Shakespeare's Hamlet. The incredible mental journey Russ takes ultimately leads to a constructive confrontation with his own Claudius. Jonathan Firth uplifts this exquisitely layered novel with superb narration. He deftly shifts from Russell's external interactions to his innermost musings on the changes in his life. Firth makes all the characters unique, believable, and especially with Russell's voice, heartbreaking and engaging. J.M.P. © AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
