We've seen some interesting versions of hamlet in class but...

We haven't seen this one of Sarahbernhardt who played a widely acclaimed hamlet in 1899 (royal shakespear company)

I actually came across her while I was looking at older versions of Hamlet! I think it was pretty ground breaking in the late 19th Century for a woman to even be in a play, let alone be the main character who is a male to begin with. I actually read an article on her and about her being in this role, let me see if I can dig it up!
