| The Burton video is great. The Wooster group did rough it up a bit and announced at times that the video was missing (so they could stick in other Hamlets). But the Burton video is (I believe) complete and available. The Wooster Group still has some of the best stage actors in the country, but a lot of their work over the last ten years is lacking. You sit in wonder at how perfectly they execute technically difficult performance feats....but then you wonder if the feat was worth doing. |

| "You sit in wonder at how perfectly they execute technically difficult performance feats....but then you wonder if the feat was worth doing." whereismikeyfl, that is such a good way of putting it. That's exactly what I was thinking. You showed us you can do the concept, but do you need to show it to us for an entire 2.5 hour play? |

| I saw the Burton "Hamlet" when I was 18. My Mom treated me to a trip to NYC from Wash, DC -- it was very special since my Dad had died 3 years earlier and we had very little money. We stayed at the Waldorf. A young woman in the Hotel elevator asked if I'd like a "date." Refused, but WOW. We were going the next day to see the World's Fair where my actor Uncle was appearing in a Spectacular -- he got us VIP treatment. I bought a standing room ticket. 20 minutes into the production, an older guy and his very young girl friend walked out -- I stopped them and asked if they were leaving and, if so, could I have their ticket. He huffed and gave them to me. 4th Row, aisle. What a night. I can recall scene after scene. I knew the play pretty well -- having studied it both in HS and freshman College. I especially liked Hume Cronyn as Polonius. The play was crystal clear. Thanks for the Memory. | |
