\u201c\u2019KIM PUTS EXPERTISE IN \u2018HAMLET\u2019\u2019\u2026.THE GREATEST\u2014and most successful\u2014contribution to the production is the appearance of Randall Duk Kim, a local actor who has achieved some measure of success in New York\u2026. \t\t\t Kim has a voice like honey\u2014well modulated and controlled, and capable of a range and power that belie his small stature. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t And he moves with an economy that was never evident in his pre-New York days here. His performance seems effortless\u2014which it is not, of course; it seems honest\u2014which it most certainly is\u2026.IN SUMMARY, Kim is a joy to watch work\u2026.\u201d

\u201c\u2019\u2019HAMLET\u2019 A RESPECTABLE FAILURE\u2019\u2026.RANDALL DUK KIM, an Island actor who has established a professional reputation on the Mainland, is making his first appearance on a Honolulu stage in six years, playing the title role\u2026. \t\t Kim delivers a bafflingly cool Hamlet. He has enormous vocal resources and delivers the Shakespearean language with flowing, modulated beauty that mesmerizes an audience during each of his soliloquies. \t\t\t\t\t WHILE KIM CREATES beauty with language, he never creates a fully developed character with Hamlet, never offering his audience a flesh-and-blood human being who can generate empathetic response\u2026.\u201d

\u201c\u2026.Randall Duk Kim\u2019s Hamlet is impressive. It pleases me because it contains all of the subtle complications I find whenever I reread the play\u2026. Kim\u2019s Hamlet is physically strong and intellectually powerful. He\u2019s so grieved at the loss of his father, disgusted by his mother\u2019s rapid remarriage and confused about the visit of the ghost that he can\u2019t begin to conceal his violent emotions. When we\u2019re not gripped by the grief in Kim\u2019s rich, resonant voice, we\u2019re absorbed by the movie on his face, reeling off the external signs of \u2018that within which passeth show.\u2019\u2026 I was impressed by Randall Kim and pleased with his interpretation of Hamlet\u2019s character; moreover, I was thrilled and entertained by the poetry of William Shakespeare.\u201d
