Three Days (of Hamlet)gathers together a cast of veterans, including Richard Chamberlain, Stefanie Powers and Peter Woodward, as well as newcomers, and puts them in an arduous, chaotic, three-day rehearsal culminating in a performance of Shakespeare’s classic play. The lives of the players juxtapose with their characters in compelling and insightful ways, none more so than Hyde-White, son of British character actor great, Wilfrid Hyde-White, who is haunted by both fathers—his real-life one as well as his character’s. A child of the film industry in which his father was an internationally known player (immortalized as Colonel Pickering in My Fair Lady), Alex Hyde-White (Pretty Woman, Catch Me If You Can, Game Change) always loved the classics, something in which his famous father had little interest.  Three Days (of Hamlet) fulfills Hyde-White’s life-long desire to explore this iconic play while excavating the psychological terrain of father and son. Along the journey, he arrives at a new understanding of his own real-life roles as both son and father to two sons.
