Title: Excellent performances in a bygone style
Review: Perhaps my liking for this series is related to their being the first Shakespeare plays I saw as a child, on the predecessor to PBS, helping to spark a lifelong love of the playwright's work and the language in general. These black and white, highly theatrical stagings may seem strange to people today. But the actors delivery their lines with such feeling and knowledge of what they are saying that the lack of cinematic movement and naturalistic acting seems irrelevant. Highly recommended for the Shakespeare buff who wants to see excellent performances by fine actors, in a venerable style that no longer exists.
