This is David Tennant's 2009 Hamlet in the
scene with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern with one of my

This video has 5 different 'To be or not to
be's and was originally created to help students analyze the
differences in the performance of Shakespeare. It features
Kenneth Branagh, Sir Laurence Olivier, Mel Gibson, Richard
Burton, and David Tennant. All are wonderful.
