Forbes-Robertson, Sir Johnston

Forbes-Robertson, Sir Johnston (1853–1937) English actor, best known as Romeo, Macbeth, Othello, and Hamlet, whom he played in an early silent film (1913). His stage production of Hamlet (1897) restored passages that had frequently been omitted, including much of the concluding episode, after Hamlet's death, and is the subject of a classic review by Bernard Shaw.
