Law’s private life may have been examined under the media microscope, with British tabloids hounding him everywhere he goes, but once on stage Law brings this ageless tragedy to life in ways that other, supposedly more serious actors might not have managed. The fact is, Jude Law in Hamlet was a masterstroke; Law’s more popular training has seen droves of young people heading for New York’s Broadhurst Theatre, eager for an up close and personal view of the Hollywood hunk, but getting an eyeful of quite heavy duty drama for their troubles. This version of Hamlet isn’t without its lighter moments, such as when the distraught Hamlet rants and raves and confronts his mother and her ghoulish new husband. In short, Hamlet tickets are well worth their price, and they guarantee a night of entertainment both dark and appealing.
This Jude Law performance has been described as “turbocharged” by one critic, and the tendency of the actor to be overly demonstrative when speaking his lines has been both criticized and lauded, depending on who you read. Overall, the response has been one of amazement; no-one really believed Jude Law could make this properly work, but he has, and with gusto. This production runs longer than 3 hours, but it is so riveting and vibrant – in its own black on black way – that the time flies and the dialogue cuts deep. All the pivotal moments are in there; Hamlet’s encounter with his dead father’s ghost, his mad assault on the ill-fated Ophelia, his insane teeth-gnashing reaction to the sudden arrival in his life of his uncle, Claudius, and of course the moment Hamlet picks up the skull of Yorrick, his father’s beloved court jester. Alas, you know it all so well – or so you think. If you dare go along to catch a live performance of this latest version you’ll discover a novel aspect to Hamlet, one which will both absorb and absolve in equal measure. You’ll become deeply immersed and at the same time begin to consider Shakespeare in a new light.
Hamlet tickets buy you a couple of hours in the company of insanity. It’s something we all crave now and then, but when that insanity was provided by the Bard himself, it seems to put a royal seal on things. When the Prince of Denmark goes to pieces, he does it with invention, with emotion and with a projected gravitas that transcends Hollywood. Come and find Hamlet tickets today. Enter the fantasy, in a cold land where something rots in an ancient castle. You’ll never see Shakespeare the same again!

The English actor, who has been in the spotlight for his off-stage dalliances recently, has brought a new generation of theatergoers to this Shakespearean tragedy on Broadway. The multi-million dollar success story that is Hamlet owes much of its power to the presence of Law, who has starred in blockbuster movies like “Closer”, “Cold Mountain” and “The Talented Mr. Ripley”. Star quality is something that could become more common on the stage, as producers strive to bring more serious plays to the next cohort of drama enthusiasts. The recent success of A Steady Rain, starring James Bond actor Daniel Craig and Hugh Jackman has seen equally good results at the box office.

New York Times and other newspaper critics have been fawning over this production of Hamlet since it opened, and recently a New York Daily News reporter described Law’s as “a spine-tingling and richly layered performance” that transcended the off-stage antics and media much-raking that accompanies them. Shakespeare is not an easy one to pull off, whoever you are. Some critics have described Law’s performance as being somewhat too animated, but in the long run the Hollywood actor’s decision to go with an easily interpreted form of delivery has paid off handsomely.
