- Reviews
- In a review for The Guardian, Elisabeth Mahoney writes "Listening to Tom Stoppard’s 15 Minute Hamlet(Radio 4), it wasn’t clear whether this shrunken Shakespeare was a cheeky send-up or testimony to the brilliance of Hamlet. And you didn’t have much time to wonder: this was the play at breakneck speed. It featured all the famous lines, and the less famous ones it included attained new, often comic, prominence. I’d never before noticed the detail, in Ophelia’s description of a troubled Hamlet, of "his knees knocking together". (Guardian Unlimited, 2 July 2007).
