Midwinter's Tale

Are you a wannabe actor? Do you love theatre, supporter of the Arts that you are? You will love this. Hilarious, wonderful performances.

A complete comic delight

While working towards his amazing film of "Hamlet," Kenneth Branagh plus several of his close friends and colleagues took a little time off for a lighthearted "take" on actors playing Hamlet. This film knocked my socks off. If you've ever been an actor, it's true to the bone of the experience, but with such a gentle, hilarious, gay grotesquerie that it's probably one of my favorite works of Branagh's, and surely the most unexpected. No one I've ever met doesn't love this little gem about a bunch of out-of-work actors with dreams of really "doing" Hamlet and getting their lives together - putting the Great Dane together with shoestring, gum, and very little else but heart. Highly recommended. The entire cast is stellar.
