Ep. 1: Hamlet at the Barbican with Benedict Cumberbatch — Part 2

March 21, 2016

This is the second part of our discussion about the live cinema broadcast of Barbican Theatre’s production of Hamlet (2015) directed by Lindsey Turner and starring Benedict Cumberbatch as Hamlet. We discuss Turner’s directorial choices, Cumberbatch’s performance, the cuts made to the text, the set and costumes, and what we gained from this interpretation. We also discuss how well the cinema broadcast captured the live theatre experience.Follow 21st Folio: @21stFolioYour host: Alex Heeney (@bwestcineaste)Guests: David Larsen (@leaflemming), Mary Angela Rowe (@lapsedvictorian), Craig Ruttan (@crut)Edited by: Cam White (@JediDusk)Detailed show notes: http://www.seventh-row.com/2016/03/17/folio21-ep1/For more information about this episode, including show notes, visit: http://seventh-row.com/21st-folioFor additional information about 21st Folio, visit http://seventh-row.com/folio21This podcast is a subsidiary of Seventh Row (@SeventhRow), a multidisciplinary arts criticism publication: http://seventh-row.com
