Seeing it performed in the theatre is how such art was intended to be experienced, not merely reading it. I wish I could upload (I can’t for copyright reasons) some wonderful performances of Shakespeare and Marlowe at the Globe Theatre. I believe the three I had copies of were Doctor Faustus (Marlowe), Love’s Labour’s Lost (one of my favorite Shakespeare plays), and Midnight Summer’s Dream. I highly recommend my viewers to experience these great performances on video.

What a slippery play. That's why it lasts. You can't pin it down. It feels so ALIVE. So many ironies -- eg, from Laertes' perspective, Hamlet is like Claudius! Another example -- Claudius's soliloquy on the death of fathers, which -- while deeply moving -- is outrageously "ratty" and snake like coming from him!

@michaelball34565 жыл бұрын
the best audio version i have found. this is the writing of genius made bold as low sung song at even tide. even the exposition exists not to explain plot but to divine character. this is talent at its height; both in text and actor and direction. a skill level seldom seen. i always wondered about hamlet. when i first read this in my teens. i thought hamlet was truly mad. that he knew he was going insane and thus told everyone he was just pretending. fearing his own insanity. i thought hamlet jr. was the one who killed his father hamlet sr. as he lay sleeping in his garden. that the ghost of his father since he had not risen to heaven awareness just assumed his brother had killed him as he had taken his throne. that as hamlet jr.'s madness encased him, that he 'saw' claudius at his final prayer confessing; that it was an entire distorted mental image of projection by hamlet jr. i believed this at fifteen because i believed that the writer had done something no writer had ever done before or would attempt to do for a century or more since; that he lied to the audience in the asides. that hamlet jr. lied in all his confidential monologues with the audience. that he lied to us. he lied to himself. that he was truly going insane. and taking us, the audience, at arms length, with him. i have been told repeatedly that i am wrong. but i believe in the genius of the writer. i believe in the vision over reaching the era in which the writer lived. and yes. i still believe that hamlet jr. was truly going insane. that he murdered his father. that he tried to frame his uncle once the ghost had suggested it through its own ignorance. that this writer really was that good. writing a work a century or more before it's audience came into existence.
@Happyheart1462 жыл бұрын
I believe you may have a point there. Hamlet WAS mad! I am almost 48 yrs old and only came to Shakespeare a few years ago. Being as old as I am, I'm finding the origins of much of my language and culture, which I've grown up with and been surrounded by all my life. I understand now why people say he's England's answer to Dante. I'm only sad that it's taken me a lifetime to enjoy it, that I've lived a whole life without the pleasure of the bard. Thank you for contributing here. Very good food for thought!

IMHO, overall Jacobi plays the best Hamlet. Oliviers' 1948 performance I've seen only once before I came to know Shakespeare's full body of work and need to see it again. Jacobi's "To Be Or Not To Be" soliloquy was amazing for me because of his personal relationship he establishes with us in the seconds before the thought comes to him and with no other thing to distract us, he has to nail it ...and he does. Hamlet is one of the greatest stories ever told, however I can't decide how I really feel about the end. Hamlet a Martyr, or Hamlet a King? That is the question.

Patrick Stewart and Claire Bloom also star.

To appreciate the audio-visual productions, one MUST read Shakespeare first. I recommend the following annotated editions of the complete works: “Pelican”, “Arden”, “Oxford Modern Critical” and, if you can afford it, “Riverside”. The essay on Shakespeare’s language in the older Oxford edition is a must read. If you are a beginner, don’t buy it; it is not annotated. Borrow from a library. I’ve also read Dickens, Melville, Tolstoy, Eliot, Homer, Virgil, Tacitus, and Chaucer. Shakespeare is, hands down, my ALL TIME favourite. 🎉

LORD POLONIUS Yet here, Laertes! aboard, aboard, for shame! The wind sits in the shoulder of your sail, And you are stay'd for. There; my blessing with thee! And these few precepts in thy memory See thou character. Give thy thoughts no tongue, Nor any unproportioned thought his act. Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar. Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried, Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel; But do not dull thy palm with entertainment Of each new-hatch'd, unfledged comrade. Beware Of entrance to a quarrel, but being in, Bear't that the opposed may beware of thee. Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice; Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment. Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, But not express'd in fancy; rich, not gaudy; For the apparel oft proclaims the man, And they in France of the best rank and station Are of a most select and generous chief in that. Neither a borrower nor a lender be; For loan oft loses both itself and friend, And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry. This above all: to thine ownself be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man. Farewell: my blessing season this in thee!
