If Claudius knows Hamlet knows the truth, he will attempt to kill Hamlet and Hamlet is not sure the message of the ghost is true so he wants to know it is true or not through the play. The story of the play is the same as what the ghost said that Claudius had done to old king. When the act playing the murderer pours the poison into the sleeping king's ear, Claudius rises and cries out for light.
