As part of their 50 Years on Stage celebrations, The National Theatre will present some very special encore screenings in cinemas this autumn, including the marvellous Hamlet, staring Rory Kinnear.
Geoff Klock dug up clips from 198 movies and TV shows quoting Hamlet, from The Simpsons to Boy Meets World to Star Trek and beyond, and whittled them down to just under 15 minutes.This is so awesome.
