““...genuinely impressive. Every bit as good, sound-picture-wise, as some of the BBC Radio ones, and the acting is often extremely impressive…. Tobias Deacon and Annabelle Brown have done a really fine job.”
Rehearsed and recorded remotely, during the summer lockdown in 2020, Hamlet brings together a cast of over fifty from around the world, all determined that, despite the pandemic (and the sweltering heat), the show must go on! Recorded from home in all manner of make-shift recording studios, then sending their takes to Tobias and Annabelle Brown, who mixed, scored and edited the production together.
