About this listen
"You get the immediacy of a live production of Hamlet on Broadway in the nervousness of the actors, knowing that they can't go back on it, that this is for all time, unlike films, where you can if you make a mistake go back and do it again. The particular intensity and nerves of this is probably the same kind of thing that excites a real audience in a real theatre." - Richard Burton(P)1995 Onward Production Ltd. and Paul Brownstein Productions, Inc.
Critic reviews
"Time and again he takes a speech or an action we had thought fixed forever in unshakeable conception and daringly hurls it into new life. He is humorous when we expect solemnity and withdrawn when we anticipate aggression...." ( Newsweek)
And as a bonus, the honeyed tones of Gielgud feature as the ghost.
The finest noise ever created by vocal chords?
