UK SHAKESPEARE MAG ISSUE 14—WHO IS HAMLET?

"Who the Hell is Hamlet?" has many good articles, many of them about recent productions, but others as well:

—Rhodri Lewis has a wonderful article (p.6) on Hamlet's age, with a fresh approach (many claim he's 30, based on the gravedigger's word, but Lewis has good reason not to trust that);
—Article on Tom Hiddleston (p.14) as Hamlet, directed by Kenneth Branagh, in a production that included women cast in some of the traditionally male roles (Horatio, Rosencrantz, Guildenstern).
—Another article on Andrew Scott (who played Moriarity in the BBC Sherlock Holmes series) as Hamlet, with surveillance technology playing a key role (a relevant twist that was also explored by Shakespeare Theatre Company earlier this year).
—On Daisy Ridley's Ophelia film
—Article, "Why Do Women Love Hamlet?" by Samira Ahmed
—Sample art from The Victorian Illustrated Shakespeare Archive
—Trip to Kronborg Castle in #Denmark
—and more!
