This film looks at how different interpretations of Shakespeare's texts bring different meanings to scenes. Theatre director David Ritchie discusses his method for bringing Shakespeare to life on the stage, and how different choices made for actors make their influences felt on the performance. An in depth look at two crucial scenes in 'Hamlet', and how these choices made by actors can vastly change the meaning and implications of these important scenes is presented - which also serves as a great learning resource for students of drama and other performing arts.
