Summary
  1. A documentary on the working process of the 1982-83 Public Theater/New York Shakespeare Festival production Hamlet, directed by Joseph Papp and starring Diane Venora. Includes interviews with Papp and Venora. "The program follows director Joseph Papp as he prepares a production of 'Hamlet' at the Public Theater in New York. [The program] offers an insider's view of the director and actors at work on a particularly provocative and controversial production of the Shakespeare play--provocative and controversial largely because Mr. Papp has cast Diane Venora, a relatively unknown actress, in the role of Hamlet. 'Rehearsing Hamlet' probes the actress' involvement with her character . . . and with her director. . ."--ABC Video Enterprises
