Ian McKellen: Acting Shakespeare (1982)
Stunning!!!
I just saw this it's just fantastic - a crime that it is not published. McKellen performs a wide range of characters (old, young, male, female) amazingly. He does a ten minute medley from Romeo and Juliet playing both parts, a scene between Hamlet, Polonious and the Player King, and a speech from the soon to be Richard the Third from Henry VI part III that makes your jaw drop.
This is nothing less than amazing
The Dining Room (1984)
Very Moving
An excellent film of the original stage play. The acting is simple and beautiful, including a lovely job by young Willam Macy. A series of intimate scenes take place in a dinning room. Other than location and the social group, the characters and scenes are unrelated.
Playing Shakespeare (1982)
Absolutely the Best
If you love Shakespeare, or acting, or any of these great actors - or if you love all of these - the series is indescribeable. Actors taking speeches, working on them, improving them.
Just great. Kingseley, Stewart, Howard, Dench, etc
