Hamlet – Royal Exchange Theatre – review

The Royal Exchange’s Hamlet is one of those productions that comes along and seems to capture everyone’s attention all at once; there’s debate, speculation, criticism, excitement.  I wasn’t planning on going to this (and was lucky to nab a ticket, as it’s sold out), but after reading about the production, I felt it was important that I be there to see it, whether I thought it a success or a failure.
