Benedict Cumberbatch has been praised for his 'victorious' lead performance as Hamlet at London's Barbican Theatre. His devoted fans descended upon him in a frantic mob as he exited the stage door on Wednesday night.

'This is a fine Hamlet in a patchy, occasionally puerile production. Mr Cumberbatch gives a reminder that he is a top-rank stage actor. It is a pity he could not have been persuaded to do his Hamlet with a top-notch outfit such as the Royal Shakespeare Company or an ace director such as Michael Grandage.'
“这部《哈姆雷特》除去情节有点拼凑、偶尔略显稚气外,还是不错的。康伯巴奇先生的这部话剧向人们昭示了他是一名顶级的舞台剧演员。遗憾的是,他饰演的哈姆雷特并未能有像皇家莎士比亚公司出品的那版中的一流服饰或是一位如同麦克·格朗德吉的顶级话剧导演。”

'Cumberbatch emerges, unquestionably, victorious. He may lack the moodiness of Daniel Day-Lewis, the quirkiness of David Tennant or the raw edge of Jude Law but in his own way he stands equal to the best modern Hamlets.
“毋庸置疑,本尼迪克特此次的演出是成功的。他所演绎的哈姆雷特,兴许没能如丹尼尔·戴-刘易斯版那样的脾气阴晴不定,没能有大卫·田纳特表现出的那种怪异,或是没能像裘德·洛那版体现的毛躁。但本尼以他独有的方式诠释出的哈姆雷特同样也是最好的现代版哈姆雷特。

'Gaudy and commercial as this production is, there's still plenty to praise.'
“尽管这次出品的戏剧有点太过华丽,且具有商业气息,却还是有许多值得称赞的地方。”

'The actor commands the stage with a whirling energy but we rarely feel soul-to-soul with this Hamlet, partly because he's often made to deliver the soliloquies against distracting freeze-framed or slo-mo action, partly because we don't sense that the actor is laying himself bare too as is the case with the greatest exponents of the role such as Mark Rylance and Simon Russell Beale.'
“本尼强大的气场掌控了舞台,可我们却无法与他饰演的哈姆雷特产生心灵交流。这部分是因为剧中他总被安排在动作定格或是缓慢动作时独白,这会分散掉观众的注意力,而另一部分也是由于我们没有感受到他将角色的心理状态完全剖析出来,就像马克·里朗斯和西蒙·拉塞尔·比尔那样极好地诠释出哈姆雷特这一角色。”

'The supporting cast — I use the term advisedly — scarcely registers throughout except as mobile scenery. Hamlet has never seemed so alone, which gives him an added poignancy. This production would benefit greatly, though, if it allowed him to play well with others, too.'
“那些配角(我是经过考虑后用了这个表述)在整部剧中除了作为移动的一景外,几乎没能演出人物精髓。哈姆雷特似乎从未如此孤单过,这更为他添了一分辛酸。不过倘若它能使其他角色能配合好哈姆雷特一角,那么这部话剧将会有巨大改善。”
