This is a Shakespeare play about the prince of Denmark and tragedy surrounding the family. Many people want to say the prince Hamlet is indecision, yet he outmaneuvers just about everyone and has a depth of vision. Now watch as Hamlet discovers who killed the king, his father, and how he attempts to get his revenge.
Hamlet is played by Derek Jacobi who gets involved with other productions of hamlet and eventually gets to play Claudius in the Kenneth Branagh version.
However, I still have a place for all the BBC productions as they do not try to exonerate but sound like people talking instead of spitting at the audience. As with many Shakespeare plays the get permeated with the popular characters of the time. In this case, they may have been popular actors but where do you remember first seeing Claire Bloom or Patrick Stewart?
This is the version I studied in school when they were trying to point out language differences and subplots. Eventually, I found my copy as a supplement to a book.
I still today play it periodically to compare to the other versions. I think you will find it a very good version if you want to know what they are saying without having to read the screenplay.
