A National Theatre Live recording of Shakespeare's Hamlet, directed by Robert Hastie and led by Hiran Abeysekera. The 178-minute runtime includes an interval. As a filmed stage production, the camera favours close-ups and theatrical staging over cinematic spectacle — it is a play captured, not a movie adapted.
