My new favorite Hamlet
- This version of Hamlet by the Oregon Shakespeare Festival received a Grammy nomination for Best Spoken Word Album, and I can hear why. Adept layering of contemporary music and modern sensibilities over the 400-year-old drama. The brilliant gem in this production is Dan Donohue as the proto-goth Prince of Denmark, with a melodious voice that alternates between evoking goosebumps or making you melt. I felt like I'd never really understood this character until now.
Author
Author Bio: William Shakespeare
William Shakespeare (1564–1616), English poet and dramatist of the Elizabethan and early Jacobean period, is the most widely known author in all of English literature and often considered the greatest. He was an active member of a theater company for at least twenty years, during which time he wrote many great plays. Plays were not prized as literature at the time and Shakespeare was not widely read until the middle of the eighteenth century, when a great upsurge of interest in his works began that continues today.
