TRANSCRIPT:
To be, or not to be, that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
And by opposing end them. To die-to sleep,
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to: 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep, perchance to dream-ay, there's the rub:
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come,
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause

Andrew's delivery of this is the only one that has ever had me hooked on every word and I'm ashamed to say, the one that made me understand what on earth it's about.

Huge Adam Scott (apologies for getting his name wrong ). I am an amateur actor but I have revenge experience. IMHO , that was a great acting thingy. However , when choosing between life and death, seeking revenge, you don’t act you show life, and I didn’t see that here. I saw contemplation, stoic even. I don’t see what the actual emotion feels like . In short , great acting , but doesn’t reflect reality.

@gwynethbrynhunter Год назад

To me this is the most authentic because we hear him thinking through the dilemma whereas other performances seem memorized while forgetting the fact that hamlet is trying to assess and navigate a dilemma

@Cletus_the_Elder Год назад

I love this performance. There may be a particular way of acting this that is in line with custom, sounding a bit like recitation at a state ceremony. I don't know if it is that or the reverence that the actors and the production have for this soliloquy. There is always a grandness in other interpretations. Sometimes, they strain toward mustering the grim and the darkness. I like the emotional transparency, of someone speaking thoughts in a vulnerable state. It allows me to access the language easier. I've understood these lines better with Mr. Scott's phrasing and tone.

@mrwriter6536 6 месяцев назад

@subversetheatre Год назад

I applaud Scott's innovation given the sheer number of people who have performed this and the need to contribute something new. BUT, this raises the question as to why even have verse at all when he's going to deliver it as natural speech with no rhythm or elevation. He has removed the point of poetry, which is that the rhythm and elevation gives us a mix of expressions that nothing else can deliver. It seems what he's done here is translate the verse to natural modern speech and then transplant those inflections into the verse. The reason people love it is for the first time, they're hearing something understandable because it's just normal speech and they don't need to tune their ear to fashion understanding from the verse. I caution people in this. It's better to go the long way round and learn to hear the depth in the poetry.

@chrismendes_uk 9 месяцев назад

100%. You're absolutely right. The limited popularity of it here, I would suggest, is due to its novelty effect. But to play Shakespeare so modernly and naturalistically is to fatally dilute and distort the original meaning. This performance is actually incredibly flat, in my view, compared to a more traditional rendition that has much more life within it.

@aotmn8399 Год назад

Not a fan of this delivery. Felt like he was trying to instruct an audience, which is NOT what Hamlet is doing in this scene. At this point in the play, Hamlet should come across sane, but exhausted. Andrew Scott here gives us somewhat the opposite-a bit loony, and with energy. It came across more like a TED talk than anything. Why would Hamlet ever speak these lines as though he were delivering a TED talk?! No thanks. I'll pass on this one. I've seen amateurs give more true renditions than this. Where was the despair? The depression? The hopelessness? The fatigue? The exasperation with this world's injustices and hurts? This was a perfect example of what not to do with Hamlet's soliloquy.
