Flexible Hamlet

We've just started reading Hamlet. But from the clips we've seen and the scenes we've read, it's safe to say that numerous versions of the play can exist, and they can all keep Hamlet's essence. There are some differences in Kenneth Branagh's 1996 version of Hamlet and Gregory Doran's 2010 version (the most evident would have to be the security camera). In one, Hamlet wears a black turtleneck suite. In the other, he wears a pair of jeans and an orange t-shirt. Both Hamlets are in luxurious castles and represent the rich boy of the time. Although they differ in looks, they both transmit Hamlet's rage toward his uncle, his mother, and the situation overall.
