Speak the Speech
Hamlet will never be the same for me. A moving production, the students talked about it all the way home on the bus. Thank you for sharing it with us.-----------------------

I felt butterflies in my stomach just watching it. If Hamlet urges his actors to "hold a mirror up to nature",
you hold a mirror up to the mirror itself, doing what the French call 'mise en abime', or loosely: 'looking into the abyss of infinite reflections'
Alex Rotaru, Director of Shakespeare High
I want to know more! About Hamlet, the character. The play. You. How did you do this? Gosh, I want to know more about me...you make me want to tell my story.

Elvis Mitchell:
You're Wilfrid Hyde-White's son!
Where's your book?
Alex H-W:
It's right here.
(Gave him the DVD)
Alex Hyde-White's Three Days (of Hamlet) is an unusual, personal and multilayered journey into the process of creation when one has to rely on one's instinct and guts in a crazy 3-day jump into the thicket of Hamlet".
-- Lech Majewski Artist and Director "The Mill and the Cross"
Thanks for your jaw-droppingly ambitious and often brilliant film. It was such an exquisite pleasure to learn something new about the play of all plays through your eyes. The pressure cooker in which you put yourself and your fellow actors was truly an ultimate test -
Alex Rotaru, Director of Shakespeare High
I enjoyed it hugely
Sir Derek Jacobi
Man, you did a Hamlet documentary!
Wow, how can I see it?
