Title: Hideous
Review: Without question this is the worst version of Hamlet I have ever seen. I bought a used dvd of the production and was so disgusted with the performances I wanted to throw it away. On an episode of Frasier - Dereck Jacobi did a parodoy of himself playing Hamlet. I now think the parody was intended to mock his poor acting in this play. The screaming and yelling of the stage actors to make up for a lack of sincerity and proper editing one would find in a movie only made me angry. The direction was absolutely terrible. The play appears to be a work of high school students and not professionals.
