The opening scene is in Elsinore, where a ghost is seen by the sentinels keeping guard on the battlements of the castle. This is related to Hamlet by his friend Horatio, who describes the spirit as much resembling the late King of Denmark, his deceased father, whom his Uncle Claudius is suspected to have murdered in order that the latter might usurp his throne. Uncle Claudius also married the queen, the mother of Hamlet, within a month after.

PUNQ

Rated 18 Feb 2018

This must be the first feature length adaptation of William Shakespeare's Hamlet (1913)? Right or not, this is a historic chance to see Johnston Forbes-Robertson legendary performance as Hamlet. Cited as the greatest "Ham" of the Victorian era, he shows confidence in his role, having done Hamlet countless of times during his lifetime. Here at the grand old age of 60. Not sure how great it looks to the modern eye, but he definitely commands your attention.
