The drama. The passion. The intrigue. . . And rehearsals haven't even started.
To be or not to be? To act or not to act? They're the same question to Joe, a struggling (read: jobIess) actor whose every sinew and synapse cries out to perform - and to soften the blow of not landing a part in the mega budget sci-fi movie. So in the staIwart (read: desperate) tradition of actors everywhere, Joe vows to put on a show, a special (read: even more desperate) version of the greatest play in the English tongue. Writer/director Kenneth Branagh serves up a Hamlet on wry with this saIute to dyed-in-the-wooI and often woolIy-brained thespians. MichaeI Maloney pIays Joe, maxing out his credit cards and wits to realize a dream. Does he succeed? With Richard Briers, Joan CoIIins, Nicholas Farrell, AbsoIutely Fabulous aIumna Jennifer Saunders and Julia SawaIha and more joining MaIoney, one thing's certain: the show must go on. |
