Shakespeare has been a continuing thread in the work of Nicholas Farrell, both on stage and screen. He played Horatio in Branagh's film of Hamlet, and Antonio in Nunn's film of Twelfth Night. At the RSC and elsewhere in London, he has appeared frequently in classical drama, including Cymbeline, The Merchant of Venice, and Julius Caesar, as well as Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard (Trofimov).
