(Editor’s Note: Congratulations to christopher h, commenter #24, your number was picked as this week’s winner using Random.org. Check your e-mail for instructions on how to claim your prize!)
Too free or not too free? That is the question.
Nothing is “too free,” especially if it’s Shakespeare at his most modern. We’re giving away a DVD copy of the 2009 Royal Shakespeare Company’s production of Hamlet, which originally aired on the BBC.
Starring David Tennant (Doctor Who) as Hamlet and Patrick Stewart as Claudius and the ghost of Hamlet’s father, this production received rave reviews for the way it turned the Bard’s most famous tragedy and twisted it into a modern day psychological thriller.
This DVD features the whole three hour production as well as commentary and behind the scenes documentary.
Sound interesting? Well, here’s how you enter.
Here’s how to enter:
The more you enter, the more chances you have to win!
(Note: Please use a valid e-mail address. US and Canada residents only. The winner will be chosen randomly. Giveaway ends on Tuesday, 5/4/10, at 5:00 p.m., PST. Winners will be notified via e-mail and announced here on the blog.)

I would love to see David Tennant in Hamlet. I think he is a wonderful actor. I've watched Doctor Who for the past 36 years and David Tennant portrayed the part better than any other actor. I liked him in several other shows as well. I think he's awesome!

I would love to see how David does as Hamlet. I've often heard it said that the problem with Hamlet is that anyone worldly enough to play the part is too old to fit in with the role.

I'd love to win this version of "Hamlet" on DVD because I'm dying to see how David Tennant tackled the role - he's never someone I pictured as the great Dane, but given how great he was on Doctor Who, I can only imagine he carries it off and then some. I'd love to see for myself. Thanks!
