I watched when it was shown on Boxing Day and this is such a fabulous production! It's so wonderful that these actors have been captured on film and that it will be airing in the US.

Yes! I was wondering when this would air. And it's good timing--my English class should be studying Hamlet just before (or around) that time.

I'm too impatient to wait for April... I ordered the DVD from the RSC -- should get it next week, assuming the snowy weather in the UK hasn't delayed it.

The HD version is stunning! I hope they broadcast it on the PBS HD station as well.

I took a Shakespeare class in college this past semester and when I saw that Hamlet wasn't on the syllabus, I was absolutely DEVASTATED!

kec-is the DVD for U.K. DVD players, or is there a version for the U.S.?
