Jude Law as Hamlet
Jude Law’s Hamlet has come to Elsinore Castle finally, after a rather long run in London. The idea was originally to bring in young people to the shows with Law’s dapper looks, and this has worked well. Hamlet is a great part to play and Law is one of the best actors around to play it. This means that his continuing performances are still great ones. He really connects with the character and people are really excited to hear him play it live. His Hamlet is a real strong character, with a lot of energy, and it’s almost a nervous style of energy. It is always very interesting to see him in action in this part. Don’t be intimidated that the King of Denmark (the real one) is in the audience. You will really feel the tragedy but also relate to a character that has great difficulty with himself and his own demons.
