Production

This adaptation keeps the Shakespearean dialogue, while leaving much out to shorten the overall length. It presents the action in a 17th-century setting, with costumes and props hired from the Royal Shakespeare Company.

In 1997, Houston had been understudy to Alex Jennings when he played the part of Hamlet in a RSC production of the play.
