Tonight, Friday February 8th, on PBS (at 9 pm I believe), is the hour long special on Hamlet. The actor David Tennant will take you through the history of the play along and provide insight from an actor's perspective. You can either watch it, record it, or watch it online starting on Saturday here: http://www.pbs.org/wnet/shakespeare-uncovered/
Type up a one page review of the program which should answer the following questions:
Why is David Tennant hosting the show? And who is he?
What were some interesting parts of the show that you can connect with information and concepts that we discussed in class while reading Hamlet?
What are some new pieces of information that you found interesting that we did not touch on in class?
According to David Tennant and Jude Law, what are the rigors and rewards for playing Hamlet?
What family connections are there between the story of Hamlet and Shakespeare's own personal life?
Overall, what did you think of the program? Was it enjoyable? How many stars would you give it?
