Cast of Branagh's Hamlet

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet : One Thread

Apart from Kenneth Branagh, who are members of the cast? The video I've rented lists Derek Jacobi as one though I can't recognize him. Who plays Horatio? Laertes? The King? Polonius? And the player queen? The cast list at the end of the performance is all but illegible. Many thanks for your help.
