Theatre Review: Hamlet

By Morgan Short, Apr 3rd, 2008 | In Art

I was pretty excited to be seeing TNT's "Hamlet" because I read in the Shanghai Talk that they were going to be sticking close to the original production in Shakespeare's time, keeping it sparse, heavy, and direct. I'm not really a fan of the whimsical "Shakespeare in the Park"-type productions, or stagings that try to update and sensationalize the tragedies to make them more palatable to the attention spans of modern audiences.
