Wow! Great article, John. I have never seen this version and now I have to! Mr Sherwood's class had me fall in love with Shakespeare, the underlying themes, clever wordplay. Loved Branaugh's Henry V but didn't see him play Hamlet. At 1st glance I'd think Mel Gibson as Hamlet??? You're kidding. But now you've given me reason to rethink. Thanks!
