HairThief I saw the Hamlet in Leeds a few years ago with the magnificent Christopher Eccelstone (Dr Who). It was the best play I've seen in a long time, very few sets and excellent acting. I've always enjoyed the story and I find it the most engaging of Willie's plays, the contemplation of existance is quite well handled. Plus it's got the best 2 character names ever!

Young people playing the roles of well, the young people, Trevor Nunn being a genius as per usual, and a modern-day setting... It was the best piece of theatre I have ever seen. The reviewers and critics wept in praise. The place was sold out every single night. It was actually a transformative performance. It changed my entire view of the production. Yes, I've seen the Kenneth Branagh version, I saw the David Tennant version (Patrick Stewart was a perfect Claudius), watched Jude Law... I've read Gielgud's reviews, as well as Burton and Jacobi's... None captured the character half as well. Because let's face it, a 50 year old man does not make sense as Hamlet.
