Time, Death, and a Personal Hamlet: Andrew Scott Debuts Elsinore at Telluride
In Telluride, Andrew Scott discusses his deeply personal film Elsinore, which portrays Ian Charleson’s late-life struggle while he performed Hamlet, using time as a throughline and balancing tragedy with humor. He shares his views on ghosts and the afterlife, the importance of theater communities, and how the project avoided being merely depressive. Scott also reveals his go-to mood booster when sad—watching Bridesmaids—reflects on his experiences as a gay actor in the late 1980s/early 1990s, and emphasizes making space for self-identification and humanity in performance.
