Pour one out for Dame Joan Plowright. Your eyes as Viola and I was hooked. RIP you great grand dame ❤

Oh god, this is so good!

Thank you so very much.

12:47 amazing!😍

"The day you saw me play Peteuchio was the most important day of your life. But for me, it was Tuesday."

Great❤

The quality of mercy is not strained. It drops as the gentle rain from heaven upon the place beneath. It is twice blest; it blessed him that gives and him that taketh. - Immortal lines from Merchant of Venice❤❤❤

Ariel sings Where the bee sucks, there suck I: In a cowslip's bell I lie; There I couch when owls do cry. On the bat's back I do fly After summer merrily. Merrily, merrily shall I live now Under the blossom that hangs on the bough.

Thank you. I know understand it better in 2025 than in 1999. Still visually striking and emotionally effective.

How do they remember all these lines????😂😂😂

Love Shakespeare ❤❤❤

awesome thanks so much

brilliant

To see your father one more time....

2:07:58 I knew that was Jennifer Ehle! ❤ What a spectacular performance! I adore this recording!

It's a pity that Shakespeare didn't live to see this version of his immortal play. This is the best Hamlet of all time. At least until now.

Here Gielgud was the only Lear to have been actually older than the character. He had been playing him for over fifty years by this point.

wow!

thank you so much! what a privilege to be able to watch a recording of this performance. I've gone down a Timothy Dalton rabbit hole recently so this is perfect 👌 always felt quite bad that I missed so many productions with amazing casts (not my fault though, as they mostly happened before my time 😅)

It would have been perfect if the music was by Gottfried Huppertz. But this is a really beautiful movie.

1:04:26 is a very emotional scene

They should have gotten a standing ovation!

There are some movies as good as this, but none better.

I know nothing about this man but recently learned he received the longest standing ovation in human history, over 80 minutes, for a performance of his in 1991. WOW!

attualissimooooooooooooooo....................gli amici!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lo cercavo da tempo!!!!!good!!!!!

GENIUS!!!!! Bravísimo ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

The Fool served the whole time 💅💅💅

Absolutely fabulous - Shakespeare would have been delighted. A passionate Petruccio

Thank you for uploading. 🥰

Ottimo film, fatto bene con attori veramente bravi.

This is one of the best documentaries I have ever seen. Not one critic interviewed but all the great actors who have 'lived' Hamlet. What a great approach!! Hamlet and Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment should be a must read for all psychiatrists and psychologists.

Love this film ❤️

The perfection in any part

Beautiful ❤❤❤❤

Sonnet Dedicated to Sir Pstrick Stewart. Wedding Sonnet From pledges concord two souls be married, When false impediments confounded be? Where love's golden rings in honour carried, Emblazon those bound now to Family ! So two star'd lovers kiss at eyes ascent, Made ardent by love's joy for each other, Which flows er glasses raise to now augment, A revelry of Belles with Beau's cover ! What Fair surpassing fair can excel this, This loving scene of possessing gladness? This summer fate made Summer by love's blass! This lovers knot held tight in happiness! Thus by hearts giving and receiving oath, Is love sworn won and sworn is Love to both ! By Barry Bradshaigh Blackpool U.K.

I was at the premiere of this fabulous film in DC one of my favorite films

29:35 Veni Sancte Spiritus

just marvellous acting and never dissapointing play by bernard shaw

you get the idea

Bedenkt: der Teufel, der ist alt, So werdet alt, ihn zu verstehen!

Not only is the performance of every single actor (character) way beyond absolute brilliance but the way the BBC produced this play, the editing, lighting, total reduction in background design, the overall mood accompanied by the music and fantastic camera work are all absolutely fantastic!!!! I don’t know why this video hasn’t reached millions of views!!! This is a masterpiece!!! Thanks for sharing this outstanding video. Happy New Year to everyone celebrating 2025. Greetings from Switzerland. Steven R.

30:57 😂😂😂😂😂 🧔‍♀️

Sean Connery. Wow!

45:35-Best part of understanding this masterpiece

Maggie Robertson is in thi 🎉 (Lady D from Resident evil or Orin from bg3)

_There will never be a Juliet Capulet interpreter like the beautiful Olivia Hussey in Shakespeare's immortal play. As the English bard well described in the fifth act of his same 'masterpiece':_ _'Death, that hath suck'd the honey of thy breath, / Hath had no power yet upon thy beauty: / Thou art not conquer'd; beauty's ensign yet / Is crimson in thy lips and in thy cheeks, / And death's pale flag is not advanced there'._

The closest we'll come to a Doctor Who/Star Trek crossover...
