“As many critics have said, this show is unnecesarily long. However, it's not exactly a bad thing. By the end of the show, the characters are developed extremely well, and you really do start to understand why it took Hamlet so long to make his move. I realize this is a classic, but I didn't like Ophelia's characterization. I felt it was underdone and you never really get a good glimpse at Hamlet and Ophelia as a couple.”
