Rhodri Lewis asks “How Old is Hamlet?” while Samira Ahmed wonders “Why do Women Love Hamlet?” and we review recent productions of the play starring Tom Hiddleston and Andrew Scott. There's a set report from the making of Daisy Ridley's Ophelia movie and a visit to Hamlet's historic home, Kronborg Castle.

Tom Hiddleston<br />
“Revenge is a fool’s errand,it gets you nothing.<br />
And Hamlet is really about that.The interesting<br />
thing about playing Hamlet is that as an actor<br />
one is so aware of the size of the play and the<br />
significance of the role… And then when you<br />
approach playing it, you have to meet the play<br />
head on and confront it.”<br />
Tom Hiddleston, speaking to Jenelle Riley for Variety<br />
