Drama review. 1948 BBC radio staging of Hamlet with Gielgud
Bloody awful. Gielgud was at least 25 years too old for the role. He’s supposed to be an overly dramatic confused emotional teen, not some pontificating old fart.
Tho I did like the rendition of Polonius in this version. Makes it very clear he’s an arsehole
