30 Rock actor will star alongside Star Trek's Kate Mulgrew in multimedia Shakespeare production – but only via 3D camera
Alec Baldwin is to appear alongside Star Trek actress Kate Mulgrew in a multimedia production of Hamlet at the Edinburgh fringe. Currently most famous for his role as TV studio boss Jack Donaghy in the Us sitcom 30 Rock, Baldwin will play the prince's murdered father in an intimate, 55-seater theatre on the city's Royal Mile in a show called 3D Hamlet: A Lost Generation.
But here's the rub. Filming commitments prevent Baldwin actually attending the Scottish capital in August. So New York-based Fundamental Theater Project plan to shoot the 53-year-old on 3D camera, then project him into The Space on the Mile venue in the Radisson Hotel. Baldwin has previously portrayed Claudius for the fledgling company in a one-off reading of the Shakespearean tragedy, a November fundraiser for their Edinburgh debut.
