Seriously cool. Help me here, didn't Sarah Berhardt play Hamlet, too?
Sarah Bernhardt was the first person to play Hamlet on film - with a wooden leg, no less.
Asta Nielsen's film is often cited as the best silent film version of any Shakespeare, regardless of its "radical" interp.
"Get thee to a nunnery - and save me a spot, will ya?"
Awesome news! congrats.
