Hamlet Pt.1

Shakespeare’s immortal “To be, or not to be” speech takes on a whole new meaning (and medium) as classical stage and screen actor David Tennant (Doctor Who) reprises the role of Hamlet in this Great Performances special. The film-style adaptation of the Royal Shakespeare Company’s acclaimed 2008 stage production also stars Sir Patrick Stewart in his Olivier Award-winning portrayal of Claudius.
