Summary: Scott Parkinson is one of those great stage actors you've probably never heard of, and he's playing the title role in an amazing production of Hamlet at the wonderfully intimate Writers Theatre in the Chicago suburb of Glencoe. Austin Tichenor sits down with Scott (you know, one Hamlet to another) and speaks with this Jeff Award-winner (and multiple Jeff nominee) about what it's like to play the entire unabridged melancholy Dane. Featuring favorite Hamlets, the joys of intimacy, the pitfalls and pleasures of being a teenage drama nerd, the regimen required by real actors, surprising amounts of action for a supposedly passive character, and how unreduced actors deal with noisy audience members. (Length 26:30)
