| Description |
Every generation feels the irresistible compulsion to attempt to stage this, the greatest play by the greatest playwright. Then, when we try, we'e haunted by the ghosts of past Hamlets: Olivier, Gielgud, Roxburgh. Every new production becomes a strange mirror of the play itself: a new Hamlet encounters the ghost of an old Hamlet and puts on a play in order to find out how to really become Hamlet. It takes the perfect combination of director and leading man to tackle this perennial conundrum - to face up to the ghosts and plunge into the thing itself with clear eyes. |
