Abstract
In this richly costumed production, the greatest tragedy ever written maintains all the tension of a murder mystery as it examines the fundamental issues of justice, guilt and death. A Danish prince avenges the murder of his father, the king, by killing his uncle Claudius who murdered the king, usurped the throne, and married Hamlet’s mother, Gertrude. Hamlet, the most complex of all Shakespeare's characters is considered the greatest challenge for an actor. Derek Jacobi is a superb choice in the rigorous tradition of Shakespearian acting. The director's innovative film technique creates an intimate performance that succeeds extremely well on a small as well as large screen. Stars Derek Jacobi, Patrick Stewart, Eric Porter and Claire Bloom.
