Basically, the Burton version is playing on a screen and the actors copy everything, even the 'gliches' in the movement. This really does not take a cast of 1st rate actors to achieve. And, Burton's Hamlet is way too old, he raises his voice in moments for no apparent reason, and he is very stiff. Hume Cronyn on the other hand steals the show as Polonius. It's worth checking out just to see him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12657288.post-48958752997995158842007-03-20T10:28:00.000-04:002007-03-20T10:28:00.000-04:00Is it still slated to be in the Public's season ne...Is it still slated to be in the Public's season next year? I've been counting on seeing it then.<BR/><BR/>And David Savran is everyhwere, isn't he. I took an English Lit survey lecture he co-taught my freshman year of college. Had no clue who he was in the theatre world at the time.

Third row center. Never take "sold out" for an answer. There's always a seat.<BR/><BR/>By the way, the show is breathtaking. WG's best work in years. And Burton's HAMLET, which I'd read about but never seen, is incandescent.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
