wow!! shakespeare is big fun like this!
ReplyDeletei like it much better then al those ultra modern versions they do today.
and avner the exentric is once more great like his style a lot.
I caught the very last performance of this at the Goodman in Chicago. It was close to 4 hours of inspired genius! I met up with Chas Elstner after the show (he was a year ahead of me on the Blue Show). And it was my introduction to Jeff Raz, who I later collaborated with on resurrecting the Pickle Family Circus.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know if this is available on DVD?

I saw this show twice, live, way back when in Lincoln Center. It is the best show I have ever seen. EVER! I wish they'd do a revival.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know if this is available on DVD?
ReplyDeleteYup.
The most inspirational show I have ever seen. I got into Shakespeare, juggling, theater, literature and circus, even PBS. Very few shows can accomplish so much. An instant classic!!
