I saw HAMLET with Jude Law last week, and was very impressed by Law and by the physical production. (less impressed by some of the other performances, I'm sorry to say.)

I just watched the Broadway Beat segment on the production and was thrilled by the closeups and other camera angles in the excerpts from the production. Does anyone know if it is being/has been filmed for distribution?

It may be filmed for the Archives. There has been a production of HAMLET filmed for broadcast. The Royal Shakespeare Company's recent production with Patrick Stewart and David Tennant was filmed last June and will be airing on PBS sometime in the Spring.

I've heard Tennant's Hamlet is far and away the better of the two. David got a LOT of praise for that role.

I want to say that it airs in April. My mom works for PBS and is a huge DT fan, but I don't remember if that's when she said or not.
