Solomon Howard
- Synopsis
- In this comedy sketch by actor and comedy writer Ed Weeks, theatre critic Solomon Howard reviews two Shakespearean productions: Hamlet at the National Theatre, London and The Tempest at the Putney Brothel. Both are panned mercilessly even though slightly redeemed by the fact that the actors were removed from the stage and a film was shown instead.
