  • Act Two, Scene Two. Lines 421-606. The arrival of the players. Priam's slaughter at the hands of Pyrrhus. What's Hecuba to him, or he to Hecuba? The play's the thing in which I'll catch the conscience of the king.

    First time I’ve truly believed the Hamlet onstage. A raw, authentic performance that encapsulated Shakespeare’s story from Andrew and his entire supporting cast. AND I want to throw up a middle finger to all the ‘prestigious’ acting schools who say it’s impossible to play Hamlet without proper training. HOGWASH. Andrew Scott doesn’t have Shakespeare training and LOOK what he did : he disrupted the stage as Hamlet in a way I’ve never seen before, I understood EVERY word, his thought processes, and for the first time, as well, this Hamlet was supported by a cast who, also, were not ‘Shakespeare-y’ but all were living breathing human beings telling a story. THIS is how you approach Hamlet. Thank you Andrew, and THANK YOU Robert Icke *Standing Ovation*

    Andrew Scott literally takes my breath away. I'm hanging on every word of a soliloquy I've heard 1000 times.

    Oh boy, does Andrew Scott take you on a journey with his performance. And you'd better fasten your seatbelts, because it's going to be one hell of a ride. Seriously though, he's amazing, I'm in constant awe of him.

    I love this. I’ve never felt that I understood Shakespeare, never mind felt truly moved by it, but I feel like I can just get what is happening here instinctively, the emotions, the character motivations, etc, no English class level analysis needed. I guess this is what everyone means when they say that Shakespeare is best watched and not read. It’s really beautiful. And a little funny at points, which I did not expect. The grief being cut off by sudden humor lightens things, but also keeps you on guard, like you don’t know whether Hamlet will snap or crack a joke at any given moment.

    I love andrew and he is my favourite hamlet, but at 9.00 he misses a line, on purpose? Misses out 'promted to my revenge by heaven and hell'. As a shakespeare nerd i dont understand the omission.

    • @ramakrishnankumaran847

      There are other strange edits, throughout the play. Mostly individual words, "stallion" for "scullion", "fie/fie" for "fie/foh" in this particular soliloquy.

    • @ramakrishnankumaran847
      @ramakrishnankumaran847 3 года назад +17

      I figure he's just being cavalier with the scripted language, which is an attitude I personally like.

      Uit "The End of Early Music: A Period Performer's History of Music for the Twenty-First Century" van Bruce Haynes -
      "Literacy has created a preoccupation with the “repertoire” or Canon of great works, and a text-fetishism that does not allow performers to change any detail of the “masterpieces” of the past."

      He misses quite a few lines out. - Plucks my beard, and blows it in my face - For Murder though it have no tongue, speaks with miraculous organ - being two examples. I understand that time is precious and a four hour Hamlet play needs to be trimmed down, but it annoys me the most when lines are left out of the soliloquies, I do wish that they at least should be presented uncut. Still, that being said, I find Andrew Scott's 'Hamlet' performance sublime.

    This actor should take another acting class and learn how not to act with his arms and hands. To me it is astounding how most anyone today can trick so many people just because they have the lines in their brains. By far the worst Hamlet I have ever seen.
