Discovering Hamlet

"Think you can understand Shakespeare's Hamlet in 53 minutes? Discovering Hamlet helps you accomplish this and much more. The video is the gifted English teacher you never had, managing to make one of Shakespeare's greatest works thoroughly accessible. The PBS production is also a lesson in staging a play as it follows four weeks of rehearsal by England's Birmingham Repertory Theatre. Famed actor Derek Jacobi, who has performed in Hamlet on the stage and in film, is shown as an impassioned director leading an absorbed Kenneth Branagh through the lead role, which he is portraying professionally for the first time. Abundant rehearsal footage is a keen reminder of the intense labor that goes into staging such a work, and extensive interviews with Jacobi, Branagh, and other cast members make the play--and its presentation--comprehensible. Little of the finished product is shown--it's all about getting there, and it's a studied, informative trip." --Valerie J. Nelson (Amazon.com reviewer)
