Poster and radio ad for National Theatre production of Hamlet by William Shakespeare.
What's the story?
Starring Rory Kinnear in the title role, this Nicholas Hytner directed production of Hamlet, with Elsinore and Denmark presented as a modern surveillance state, was extremely well-received when it first opened at the National Theatre in October 2010.
Critics in particular were full of praise for Kinnear’s Hamlet. As Charles Spencer in The Telegraph stated:
“Beneath the anger, the bipolar mood swings, and the disguise of madness that Hamlet adopts, Kinnear also discovers a strong sense of morality in the character, and an endearing warmth and humour. No actor can capture the full elusive complexity of Hamlet, but Kinnear often comes thrillingly close.”
