more lines than any other woman in Shakespeare

Rosalind the "female Hamlet"? That's not fair -- she's far more likable than Hamlet.

[@rachaelknudsen8801]

I think in the sense of having the chance to develop as a character and give an actor playing her loads of material to work with.

SO excited for this when it's broadcast to cinemas

Beautifully put.

I enjoyed this valuable clip. But the descriptive blurb is incorrect. Sykes calls Rosalind "the female Hamlet" and says she has more lines than any other Shakespearean female character. Rosalind does not have "more lines than Hamlet." Hamlet has almost three times the lines of Rosalind.

Can't stand this woman's pronunciation - bein', excitin', challengin' etc. Pronounce your gerunds and present participles correctly will you please!

People are allowed to have accents Simon, calm down.
