Comment: Re: SHK 8.0193 Re: Burton's Hamlet
Dear Colleagues, The Richard Burton HAMLET was on sale at the Barbican Centre
in October, 1996, where I purchased it for about 15 pounds, or something like
that. The catch is that it's recorded on British standard PAL, which is
incompatible with U.S. equipment. Almost any respectable university a/v center
in North America has the hardware for PAL, though, so that's not an
insurmountable problem. There was a copy at the Library of Congress Motion
Picture Division once, but that involves travel, appointments, etc. Oh yes, the
address is Mail Order Dept., RSC Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire.

Comment: Re: SHK 8.0193 Re: Burton's Hamlet
In response to Martin Jukovsky: The Foler Library does indeed have a tape of
the Burton HAMLET. I viewed it last year, and not only found it a fascinating
performance but also noted that it was at least at some moments different from
the LP recording of that version. In Hamlet's "soliloquy" "Now might I do it,
pat," for example, the delivery on the LP sounds more malicious, more evil than
Burton's delivery in the video of the performance. Since I no longer have the
LP nor do I have the video, I cannot pursue this examination further, but it
might be an interesting way of thinking about variations within performance.

Thanks to all who told me that the video of Hamlet is available at
www.tvclassics.com in two versions: the complete film of the Broadway
performance and a one-hour film of "scenes and soliloquies." The film has been
restored and the sountrack redigitalized.
