"Andrew Manley has confidently staged a very modern production of Hamlet at the Harrogate Theatre which works supremely well....This result has been achieved by shortening the length of the play from the original six hours to a more manageable three and a half hours, and using present day costumes and settings; indeed the latter with its use of many active television screens spread around the stage certainly gives the effect that everybody and everything is under constant surveillance in a completely totalitarian state. To add to this the director has secured some superb performances from every member of the cast."  ~ J. R. L. Reyner, The Stage, 13 December 1990
