Sure, we've seen Hamlet plenty of times, including last summer (Play #7). But the Globe's version, with cross-gender casting of most of the younger generation characters, was brilliant and moving. Michelle Terry, the Globe's artistic director, played Hamlet. Seeing this classic conflicted character in a woman's body brought out new perspectives on Hamlet's anger at her mother's betrayal and her wrestling with questions of meaning and being.
