Title: Holm not horrible
Product review: The acting was fine. Edmund and the sisters, Regan and Goneril, were played with sufficient nastiness, and I definitely felt Lear's pain. However, there was just a bit too much screaming, and when they weren't screaming, they were mumbling. The set was obviously low budget, which you'd expect from the Beeb (BBC for you Yanks), but it seemed to fit quite well. There was a small discrepancy in the modern-ness of the costumes, some being relatively renaissance and some of them from the twentieth-century (ie. Lear's fool.) All else being equal, I didn't hate it, and that's the main thing.
