Notes

" . . . Rhys's gaunt Hamlet, first seen handsomely shuffling around the palace in a black coat and smiling through a haze of tears, is one of the most convincing and inventive portrayals of the melancholic prince I have ever seen." --From "The Perfect Prince of Despair" by Nicholas de Jongh in London's Evening Standard, April 9, 1999.

"Actually, I identify more with damaged creatures . . . " --Paul Rhys quoted in the London Times, January 4, 2001.
