Being Hamlet

Two of the greatest contemporary Hamlets, Simon Russell Beale and Adrian Lester, discuss this most celebrated and challenging of roles.

Their discussion of the Prince of Denmark fittingly takes place on Danish soil in the elegant surroundings of the ambassador’s residence in London. From Gielgud to Branagh, Olivier to Plummer, they explore the rich variety of approaches to a role to which so many actors aspire.
