It’s made me respect him even more as an actor, and it was a brilliant way to end my trip.Īnd I think this play has done it’s job. Hamlet - David Tennant, Patrick Stewart, Penny Downie. He’s not the best in the world, but I think he’s settling into the roll and I think he did a fairly decent job in my eyes. I’m only in university now), so I’m not as attune to the problems and what might make a performance not as legendary. That may be because I’m fairly new to the whole theater world (as this is my first venture into seeing more than a local performance of something such as Shakespeare, which I did a few times in high school. I made the trip over from the States to England for Hamlet (though I made a more ‘touristy’ trip out of it by being there for 2 weeks and enjoying all the other stuff England/London has to offer).

I don’t know whether his will be considered an all-time great Hamlet, but it was energetic and enjoyable and showed that he’s far more than just a sexy TV personality (although he is that too of course). This was a cracking production by Greg Doran, directed with verve and an eye for humour, but it was David Tennant’s show-after all, Hamlet speaks 1,507 of the play’s 4,042 lines. Penny Downie was excellent as Gertrude, Mark Hadfield supplied welcome comic relief as the gravedigger, but for me the best supporting actor was Oliver Ford Davis as Polonius, played as a pompous forgetful windbag. His was also an impressive performance, but I find him too theatrical, too self-consciously thespian.

Patrick Stewart played the ghost of Hamlet’s father, and the murdering uncle. His reserve only broke in the scene in which he and Gertrude have their showdown in her chamber, when you could have heard a pin drop in the full Stratford house. His was a witty, self-aware Hamlet, driven by anger rather than grief. In fact, sometimes his acting was so understated it was almost TV acting, with its reliance on close-ups rather than the larger-than-life movements and voices required at the theatre. Particularly with the tragedies, there is a possibility for histrionics but David Tennant managed to resist them. When I go and see a Shakespeare play, it usually takes me between five and ten minutes to get my ear attuned to the language, and a little longer to get accustomed to the non-naturalistic acting.
