Directing Hamlet

I guess directing and performing Hamlet looked pretty fun, but really hard. I think it is cool to see how many different interpretations of one play there are. I am sure the Jacobi and Brannagh's Hamlet will be very different than that of the inmates of the Missouri East Correctional Institution, but the neat thing is that no one can tell whose interpretation is right or better. The acting might be better performed by professional actors, but the inmates' interpretation could potentially be closer to the way Shakespeare intended. All of these video clips and trying to memorize my three pages of Hamlet has helped me appreciate how difficult it must be to perform the whole play. T.S. Eliot might disagree, but with so many people trying to recreate Hamlet, it seems to me that the play really is a work of art.
