Indeed, it's only when he's addressing us, that the barrier really come down.Stuart Ian Burnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18132101517832896837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10195862.post-46039162376141431872010-08-22T12:27:44.122+01:002010-08-22T12:27:44.122+01:00Great to find your blog today after following the ...Great to find your blog today after following the link from your comment on the Guardian "ten greatest Hamlets" link - I will be exploring here a lot more. I've just recently watched this Kline production on DVD and so am very interested in your review - I agree about him being a very emotional Hamlet, as Tennant was in the recent RSC production, which again I've only seen on TV.
