Synopsis

In this volume, Mary Maher examines how modern actors have chosen to perform Hamlet's soliloquies, and why they have made the choices they made within the context of their specific productions of the play. Adding to interviews with, among others, Derek Jacobi, David Warner, Kevin Kline and Ben Kingsley, this text offers two more insightful interviews, one with Kenneth Branagh, focusing on his 1997 film production of the play, and one with Simon Russell Beale, discussing his 2000-2001 run as Hamlet at the Royal National Theatre.
