Hamlet
To be, or not to be?
Directed by Gregory Doran
Produced by NHK Enterprises, Illuminations
A cerebral, darkly melancholic staging of Shakespeare's revenge tragedy that grapples profoundly with mortality, madness, and moral paralysis.
David Tennant stars in a film of the Royal Shakespeare Company's award-winning production of Shakespeare's great play. Director Gregory Doran's modern-dress production was hailed by the critics as thrilling, fast-moving and, in parts, very funny.
