One of the things that makes Hamlet unique among Shakespeare's characters is his courage to face up to the darker elements of his personality. ↗

What if Shakespeare had had a test audience for Romeo and Juliet or Hamlet? ↗

Would Hamlet have felt the delicious fascination of suicide if he hadn't had an audience, and lines to speak? ↗

I started to realise that it wasn't for me. Perhaps I didn't have to give my Hamlet before I died, that the world might be an OK place without my Hamlet, in fact. ↗

I was doing Hamlet in the off-season, and I had a specific idea in my mind about what I wanted that character to look like, and because it's going to lead into the next year, I knew that it was going to have to be established somewhere in the show. ↗

And I just think that to introduce an unknown Shakespeare is thrilling, too - not to do Hamlet or Romeo and Juliet, to do the richer Shakespeare. People will come to this and not know the story. ↗

I am by turns a petulant adolescent and a mature man, a melancholy loner and a wit telling actors their trade. I cannot decide whether I'm a philosopher or a moping teenager, a poet or a murderer, a procrastinator or a man of action. I might be truly mad or sane pretending to be mad or even mad pretending to be sane. ↗

More grief to hide than hate to utter love. Polonius, Hamlet. ↗
