Yeah, Hamlet, like Romeo and Juliet, is a bit overrated for me. I think it's some of Shakespeare's finest writing, but I prefer Much Ado About Nothing and Richard III. It's a very personal dislike: I don't care for any of the characters in Hamlet (I used to like Romeo and Juliet until I read it as an adult and realized that Romeo is stupid and Juliet, although more intelligent, loses a lot of points for liking stupid and overly dramatic Romeo). There's characters for me to like in Much Ado and Richard III! I love DT's performance in the audio play of the former.
If I went, it would be completely on my own, which has its own appeal... but I just couldn't get enough enthusiasm to break out the credit card and go.
