Plot Summary

Winner of four Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actor, Sir Laurence Olivier’s Hamlet continues to be the most compelling version of Shakespeare’s beloved tragedy. Olivier is at his most inspired—both as director and as the melancholy Dane himself—as he breathes new life into the words of one of the world’s greatest dramatists.

Magnificent, of course, but short

Lord Olivier and his cast are magnificent, of course, but this is hardly the whole play. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are absent, for instance, which rather confused me when first watching Stoppard.
