Customer Reviews

Will the real Shakespeare please stand up?

The DVD box set of “Playing Shakespeare” was released on June 2, 2009. It includes 4 discs and has a total runtime of 456 minutes. It can be found sometimes as (1982). It was always said that Shakespeare was meant to be experienced live and not through reading. But what is life? This program shows the range of variation in presentation, and you get to judge for yourself what the intention of Shakespeare is and whether the variety of presentation and improvement is a betrayal. You may not come to the same conclusions as John Barton, but at least you have something to think about and look for the next time you watch your favorite version. A great side effect is seeing great actors when they were young. A school could build its class around this series.
