Prince Hamlet | Hamlet #1: "To be or not to be..."


Welcome to the Hamlet Appreciation Thread!
{#1}


HAMLET ~ 2015
by William Shakespeare

Benedict Cumberbatch takes on the title role of Shakespeare’s great tragedy.

Directed by Lyndsey Turner (Posh, Chimerica) and produced by Sonia Friedman Productions, Hamlet was broadcasted worldwide.

As a country arms itself for war, a family tears itself apart. Forced to avenge his father’s death but paralysed by the task ahead, Hamlet rages against the impossibility of his predicament, threatening both his sanity and the security of the state.

Should we mention in all the OPs the year in which Ben performed a role and a brief synopsis? So that visitors unfamiliar with his ouevre would have information about each role?

For example, something like this:

Benedict Cumberbatch takes on the title role of Shakespeare’s great tragedy.

Directed by Lyndsey Turner (Posh, Chimerica) and produced by Sonia Friedman Productions, National Theatre Live will broadcast this eagerly awaited production live to cinemas.

Fencing requires so much agility and finesse .. it's essentially performance art. Ben seems to have enjoyed it quite a lot.
Did he have prior roles that required it before Hamlet?

I don't know i think they have basic training in LAMDA and then it's pretty much choreography and rehearsals but his fencing did look impressive
