Rated LGBT Radio

There is a new Hamlet in town. Coming soon is a film production of the classic tragedy with a fresh perspective. It's focus is from the perspective of Horatio, the man behind the man, in the Hamlet story. This is the first production where Horatio steps from the shadows of the play to be not only a major force, but to shine light on the love and intimacy that Hamlet and Horatio share. "The film begins on an empty sound stage with the death of Hamlet. The action transpires in his last moment of awareness as the hero of Shakespeare’s mostfamous play watches his life flash before him and his soul transcends. Told from the perspective of Hamlet’s closest friend and confidante, Horatio, who takes on the role of film director in order to fulfill his promise to dying Hamlet to tell the story of Hamlet’s life so the world will understand what has transpired in the court of Denmark." says the film's website. Today we have the film's director, award winning Paul Warner, and film editor Sean Robinson to take us behind the scenes of this classic and its more modern reinvention.
