Hey, its shakespeare, Contemporary

See it if You love Hamlet, and are OK with converting several male roles to female, including the big kahuna. They do a good job of the shift.

Don't see it if You hope the acting level will be at least equal to usual Drilling Company standards, and that you will be able to hear most of the text.
