Notes
- Reviews
- "But while it was good, it was not great. Speeches were rearranged, certain words were "updated", and the production was generally too shouty and melodramatic to convey the proper poetry and pensiveness of Shakespeare’s text...". [Extract from user comment on IMDb, accessed 11/2015].
