Hamlet in NYC: A Nude Jude Law?

Nah. That’s just what one Shakespearean wag mused about in regards to the (mostly) critically acclaimed production of Hamlet that’s headed to Broadway from London this fall:
Rosalind emailed me this morning, wondering if I wanted to go to London to see Jude Law in Hamlet.
That reminded me of feature we long ago joked about adding to shakespeare.com: Naked Shakespeare with Nude Jude Law.These would be brief productions of crucial scenes from Shakespeare’s plays performed with utmost seriousness – except that at a certain point you’d see that one of the actors was totally naked. And that actor would be a nude Jude Law.
The blogger goes on to dream of Kate Winslet getting “her kit off” and joining Jude in the nude, so he’s clearly an equal-opportunity voyeur.
Fantasy or not, though, I think he’s onto something. So here’s a message for the actor:
Hey, Jude, there’s still time to add a little stripping to the staging in New York — it worked for Harry Potter!
