    You may be old, but you're good enough, Tim. I'm a Hamlet freak since childhood - I can still recite most of it from memory. And I, too got to play him in my twenties! Your Hamlet is so layered, thoughtful, passionate. AND you take your time - most Hamlets chunter through it. You did such lovely transitions and created a whole person with your few lines.

    Tim! You are so cute at the beginning of the video. 💜 Just delightful!
    I can't pretend to understand much Shakespeare but I understand good acting when I see it and that's something you are great at! I want to see everything you perform in!
    I have been in Macbeth and Midsummer Night's dream years ago, small parts and I still don't know what Macbeth is about really. LOL
    You are so great at everything you do and you're doing so much good for the world. You are well appreciated and well loved!

    I’m not sure what rock I’ve been hiding under, but I just discovered Tim Minchin. I came for the Pope Song and stayed for the Hamlet (and everything in between). Good God, what a talent.

    I consider myself a Hamlet junkie. I will see every performance I can find. No way is Tim too old for the role...and this little scene was bloody brilliant. I'd pay good money for Tim as Hamlet!

    On the anniversary of this performance I just had to say I must have watched this over 100 times and love it every single time. I did take care of my body and my brain and survived. Thanks, Tim, for making isolation bearable.

      Tim is a very handsome man, and I believe he will be handsome when his “blue-eyed baby girl comes home at 21 or 31 for white wine in the sun” with her family ❤️

    Thank you so much! This was wonderful and can't see why you couldn't perform the whole play at some point in the future.Hamlet is as old or as young as you make him

    Tim, saw your acting skills in person in Tom Stoppard’s “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern”. Sheer brilliance. Not quite Shakespeare, I know. But seeing you, even at your advanced age, I see no problem, no problem at all with you playing Hamlet. Your ability to move me so much, on your own, no props, nothing but the sheer force of your words make me say “Do it”. Actor and creative director of a play you obviously love. It’s time to speak to Kip about staging a performance of “Hamlet”, the Tim Minchin “Hamlet”. You have an obvious love for the play and should never doubt your straight acting skills again even though your comic and musical genius have overshadowed them and brought you well-deserved world-wide accolades. It is time to tackle something harder but, in the end, more worthwhile and rewarding, I think. I really hope that this short straight acting performance leads to a STC “Hamlet” with you in the lead but also in the creative adaption side as well, before too long. Take a deep breath, do it, make it happen. The Tim Minchin “Hamlet”. Now is the time. Lots of actors have played the Danish Prince when they are much older than you, Olivier, Jacobi, Branagh even Mel Gibson (who has far, far less creativity and acting skills than you) to name just a few have had a crack at it. Go for it Tim, I’ll be there to watch you grow. Do it now. Dale Tyler

    watched 3 others on this platform thus far and this is the first performance I actually believe. Whilst I am not a fan I can believe this as real and felt. Thanks Mr Minchin you pass my captivating test for authentic and fresh. I love David Tennant in the role if that indicates where the platinum favourite of mine lies. But hey I never fitted with acceptable in the coterie of what is deemed ok.. So thanks. Could Paul Fletcher play Polonius for a special once only performance of the real version?

    a strange position for the sensibility of an actor to be in. In one side of the body, performing with voice, face and left hand. In the other side, holding the camera and pointing it. Nothing will ever be the same indeed after coronavirus.
