Jun. 7th, 2009 07:53 pmI feel as if I should post some type of review or other for Jude Law's Hamlet but I am afraid words fail me. And not in the 'it was awful' or 'it was stunning' way. Just...I think I used them all up last October. Maybe I should copy and paste?
I found that Tennant's Hamlet had that little extra umph! But as a cast, the Donmar production was a better ensemble. Go figure. There were just those moments I said to myself 'David did that better', but on the whole it was probably exactly the right time for Jude to do this and he is a good enough actor to pull it off. And they did hit the mark most of the time on delivery. Maybe I just can't bring myself to say something was better then Tennant and Stewart on stage.
Hamlet's mother was played by none other then Prime Minister Harriet Jones. That...was weird.
