PEOPLE, Page 93Dusting Off the BardBy Emily Mitchell/Reported by Jeannie Park
Hath not DUSTIN HOFFMAN senses, affections, passions? He hath.
And he hath taken them all together onto a London stage for a
nearly sold-out summer run in The Merchant of Venice, his first go
at Shakespeare since drama school. In applying to work with British
director PETER HALL, Hoffman, 51, first asked to play Hamlet.
Sorry, Dustin, he was told, you're too old. The role of Shylock,
however, is a challenge for the two-time Oscar winner, a consummate
perfectionist. "I'll probably find the key to this performance
three months after we close," he admits. Sorry, Dustin, that's too
late.
