Book Reviews of Hamlet: BBC Dramatization (BBC Radio Presents)
Book Review: Hamlet paperback
Summary: 3 Stars
I am in an English Honors class and we studied Hamlet in class. This book was helpful in understanding the language of Shakespeare, but I think the book could have made better footnotes on certain concepts in the book. The publisher does make up for this by inserting a few essays which were helpful in writing my review paper. Overall I give this a 3 star rating due to the lack of better footnotes.
Summary of Hamlet: BBC Dramatization (BBC Radio Presents)
Among Shakespeare's plays, Hamlet is considered by many his masterpiece. Among actors, the role of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, is considered the jewel in the crown of a triumphant theatrical career. Now Kenneth Branagh plays the leading role and co-directs a brillant ensemble performance. Three generations of legendary leading actors, many of whom first assembled for the Oscar-winning film Henry V, gather here to perform the rarely heard complete version of the play. This clear, subtly nuanced, stunning dramatization, presented by The Renaissance Theatre Company in association with BBC Broadcasting, features such luminaries as Sir John Gielgud, Derek Jacobi, Emma Thompson and Christopher Ravenscroft. It combines a full cast with stirring music and sound effects to bring this magnificent Shakespearen classic vividly to life. Revealing new riches with each listening, this production of Hamlet is an invaluable aid for students, teachers and all true lovers of Shakespeare -- a recording to be treasured for decades to come.Shakespeare, William Books
