BBC's film of Hamlet, starring David Tennant and Patrick Stewart, airs Wednesday, April 28 on PBS (as usual, check your local listings).

HIGHLY recommended. Truly a wonderful film adaptation (this is not the kind of film where they just point three cameras at the stage during an RSC production, but rather all of the people involved in that stage version remaking it as a movie). Stewart earned his BAFTA and then some. Everyone awesome except for Ophelia (IMO), but then it's really not an easy role to do well. First time I've seen a Gertrude who ROCKED MY WORLD. And the actors and director explored far more *funny* than I've ever experienced in a production of this play.
