"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle

I had given up hope that this would ever be released - it is so magnificent.

The only other Shakespeare DVD that needs to be released is the recent production with Patrick Stewart and David Tennant. There is a HUGE petition online for them to get everyone back together and film it. *Crosses Fingers*

In addition to the "big" names, this set includes some impressive work by Alan Howard and the late Michael Williams (who was married to Dame Judi Dench). Alan Howard was the original Oberon in Peter Brooks' DREAM years ago, and he was in fact very dream-y in it.
