From 1993...it was a full audio recording of the play for the BBC radio by Kenneth Branagh and quite a few of the actors he worked with in the 1996 film. It's very entertaining and well performed.

For reasons I've gone into on the Shakespeare thread, I'm not a big fan of Branagh's Hamlet, at least not of his film. I would sooner direct all interested to the magnificent version starring Richard Burton and directed by John Gielgud from 1964, filmed during live production:

"I don't know what sforzando means, though it clearly means something."
