Hamlet
Preview the Film

"Shakespeare's immortal "To be, or not to be" takes on a whole new meaning (and medium) as classical stage and screen actors David Tennant and (recently-knighted) Sir Patrick Stewart reprise their roles for a modern-dress, film-for-television adaptation of the Royal Shakespeare Company's (RSC) 2008 stage production of Hamlet. The production will be presented on PBS by the Great Performances series on Wednesday, April 28, 2010, at 8 p.m. EST (check local listings). Immediately following the broadcast, the film will be available online in its entirety here on the Great Performances Web site."

Thanks for posting, didn't know this was out there. So want to see it.
Seems PBS has it now on its website... with the usual restrictions. *sob*

I watched this last night, and quite enjoyed it!  The modern dress gave me a double-take.  :)

Yeah the costumes confused me first time I saw them. They have beanies...but the sets are Victorian...ish
