This production of Shakespeare's masterpiece from Britain's renowned Royal Shakespeare Company was filmed on location rather than in the theatre. No recent stage production in Britain has attracted the excitement and nearly unanimous critical praise as this Hamlet. Dynamic, exciting, and contemporary, it breathes new life into Shakespeare's greatest play.

Two Thumbs Up submitted by Avliss on July 7, 2014, 12:28pm A great rendition of my favourite Shakespearian play. David Tennant does a fantastic job as the Prince Hamlet, and his performance is matched by fellow actors Sir Patrick Stewart (playing Claudius), and Mariah Gale (playing Ophelia).

Amazing interpretation submitted by timdufresne on August 10, 2018, 3:43pm This is a stunning realization of Shakespeare's classic play. Possibly the best I've seen!
