Hannibal Hamlin is in a state of disbelief:

Kim Catrall !?

>For Release 20 July 2012 by Illuminations

>Shakespeare’s Sonnets 

>Illuminations, with Touch Press, Faber and Faber and The Arden 

>Shakespeare, present an exclusive DVD release, Shakespeare’s 

>Sonnets.

Why not Kim Catrall? Her IMDB bio says, “At 11, she returned [from Canada] to her native country and studied at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. She returned to Vancouver and, at age 16, graduated high school and won a scholarship to study at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York. During her final year at the academy, she won a part in Otto Preminger’s Rosebud (1975). Following her film debut, Kim returned to the theatre, first in Vancouver and then in repertory in Toronto prior to winning a contract at Universal in Los Angeles . . .”  Her list of film and TV credits since 1975 is very long:  http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000326/

No one else in the cast list for the DVD has sex appeal too?

Cheers,
