Hamlet

[calimac]

I watched most of the Hamlet production with Dr. Who and Captain Picard on PBS last night, with unavoidable interruptions. The Polonius was particularly good, as was the gravedigger scene. I'd seen a stage production a few years ago with a contemporary setting like this - yes, with guns - so that didn't surprise me. Patrick Stewart played both Claudius and the Ghost, thus making Hamlet's repeated protestations that his father and his uncle are nothing alike seem more than usually demented.
