...felt like a good fit with contemporary reality. It was simply a matter of having your eyes open, and being sensitive to all the parallels and metaphors. To that inventory of Hamlet-like figures, Ethan added Kurt Cobain, someone who seems to embody the voided promise, someone who was brilliant, and ran off the rails. Someone who was marred and tormented. It's not hard to find Hamlet in contemporary reality. The play is called "Hamlet", but it's actually about a series of interlocking relationships. It's really rich, and we were lucky to have so many great actors...
...people I have ever worked with, David Merrick understood "entertainment" and dished it out in quantity and in style. Just imagine Gypsy; Fanny; 42nd Street; Promises, Promises; Play It Again, Sam; The Entertainer; Look Back in Anger; Marat/Sade all pouring out of the same slightly mad, stagestruck but ultimately brilliant brain.

You know you get what you pay for with hair and at the beginning, it looks so overworked and overprocessed - it's been permed, bleached, it's like a carpet. I imagined...
...some effort and just do a game show each evening. But this mini-series proves that over-the-top stories, richly told and lavishly gilded, still have some value, even at Regis' network. If you can get past the kitschy orientalism and the sometimes-tired ideas (A wacky genie! Brilliant!), you'll find this baroque epic an often thrilling carpet ride...
