October 25, 2012 David Tennent speaking on Hamlet

Sarah Bragg sent me a great set of four Youtube videos that are a documentary about how difficult it is to play Hamlet. He visits the Globe Theatre, plays clips from different versions of Hamlet, and goes into the history of the play as well. Very interesting, and worth a watch!
