“’Tis as easy as lying” 

"play the pipe" "I can't" "play the pipe" "I dont know how" "play the pipe" "I literally can't" "but you thought you could play me, bitch?"

This is the very first Hamlet, that I trully understood, kept me on my toes and moved me to tears. Andrew Scott is an absolute genius.

Also this is my favorite thing. "You can't even play fucking hot cross buns on a recorder but you think you cna play me rude"

This is actually making the language comprehensible.

Scott is the best hamlet i've ever seen He's not trying to hard. He's just a broken man dealing with a broken heart

Shakespeare comparing the way we seek thoughts from humans to how we seek music from instruments... I couldn't help but reflect on it and mutter "that is just... genius".

I fucking LOVED this version's Guildenstern! The actress added so much depth to the character with her choices - I remember a scene earlier, I can't remember quite at which point, where she realises just how broken her old, dear friend has become and she just starts silently crying in the background. She genuinely wants to help her friend and doesn't know how to, and eventually becomes another tragic pawn in the game Hamlet and Claudius are playing.

I don't think i've ever seen an actor repress his emotions like that. It's like I can feel his desire to yell and scream at her but his manners give him pause. Andrew Scott is so talented.

Scott is, unabashedly , the most ‘modern’ hamlet I’d ever seen. He conveys the language in a way that makes it sound less dated than I’d ever heard it. He actively defies the tropes laden in the usual rhythms of the language and understands the it to the extent that at every moment you can almost see their modern subtitles under his interpretation and within its subtexts. Beyond the emotional depth he gave it, which is also his own, it was an incredible, not to mention a daring way to interpret the role. Not to say he’s the only person whose ever cracked it, (I’ve seen Mckellan do Shakespeare in a way which did similar things to the text though even Ian still felt more classical) but If more actors approached it this way, then more people would understand Shakespeare generally in an age where more and more view those plays as encoded. I’m glad to be reminded of his performance online. Didn’t realize it had been filmed 😊

By hook or by crook - I will eventually see this entire version of the play, one two minute clip at a time. Amazing interpretation of Hamlet.

andrew scott has a weird way of making me think of hamlet as an actual character and not just someone to laugh at (in my defense, this scene is usually really funny)

I keep watching bits and pieces from this play because I know I won't be able to handle this amount of emotions in its full form.

Andrew Scott is the best hamlet ever

"do you think I am easier to play on than a pipe?" is my absolute favourite line in Hamlet. So disheartening. Knowing that Andrew Scott is often asked to play maniacs, and the usual take on this is hurt& angry, I was expecting him to go wild, but boy... this is crushing. What I don't get, is why the woman (can't tell R from G for the life of me) is saying her lines as if she were in so much pain, it's so extra. Also, it would imply she knew what was going on... The other one though, was suitability slimy. Very disgusting.

Scott is so good at portraying the anger and apathy of a man in emotional distress.

This man IS Hamlet. Such pain, such passion, such madness.... electrifying

i love this monologue so much

Ophelia , oh my god, how wonderful is that Ophelia!

His arms ...💕

HE İS THE GOD OF ACTING He is probably born with thousands of skills and a charming voice and look. Andrew is the best of all times

Ouah. C'est brillant. Cet art me mets en émois, vraiment.

THOUGH YOU CAN FRET ME, YOU CANNOT PLAY UPON ME

Where can I watch this whole thing?

This is so good.

just wow..

Hamlet is poetically smart!

Clearly this is from a complete, carefully shot, subcaptioned video of the entire play. Where IS it?

To be fair it's only two minutes of AS' Hamlet; but they're spot on and very grand indeed X

This is absurdly good, you don't even need know Shakespeare to know this is good. You could show this to a class of idiots and they would be spellbound, spellbound and silent. Shakespeare is universal.

damn sherlock and moriarty both played hamlet

Where is the full play??? Where can I watch this!!!!

First Sherlock and then Moriarty doing Hamlet 😮

where i can find full video ? :(( please recevied me infromation about this performance. i need to see

Holy Shit

00:35 best moment

Where am i watch that all??

Great!! Has he done Richard II??

👏👏👏

I love Scott and his hamlet is excellent...But Hamlet and this scene in particular is not supposed to be so dark at all times... I have to say I just love How David Tennant does this scene...from the comedy to the dark turn he takes... feels more natural than this.

who played Rozencrants and Guildenstern?

I love you

where can i watch this full?

Shakespearean dialogue can be so corny and overly theatrical sounding but Andrew actually managed to make it sound natural and believable

I jimmy tabor stay confused

brain small me not understand

He's utterly embarrassing

Andrew Scott reminds me of an Irish Mark Ruffalo. I also noticed that Scott uses his arms and hand gestures to emphasis his deranged state of mind. I don't find his performance of Hamlet very convincing.

Theyre are terrific actors, but this sounds like oblivion npc doilgue

Meh. I like Andrew Scott but this is ... not great
