Format:DVD
It brought back memories for my wife Brenda as it was this series that inspired her to write her book "My Truth" after having a far-memory experience. The recording is excellent and a "must have" for those who are into the Elizabethan period and Shakespeare. An exemplary performance by all those in the production of this wonderful series.

I have already reviewed this item to say that the wait was too long and the box arrived broken. I would like the supplier to send me a replacement box to take the 2 discs. My recent request was ignored. Sorry cannot recommend this supplier unless this is put right.

Entertaining
19 May 2003
Tim Curry is truly wonderful in his portrayal of William Shakespeare. The 6 tape set focuses on the life of Shakespeare, from his humble beginning being from a poor family in Stratford Upon Avon; to going to London (and seems to be hiding from his wife and children), to a talented playwrite. On his way to being famous, he is befriended by the Earl of Southampton, lives through the black plague, some personal tragedies, and writes some of the best plays and poems of all time. Tim does age in this from a handsome young and middle age Shakespeare to the balding Shakespeare that we have all seen depicted in our English Literature books in High School.
This movie is extremely hard to find and quite expensive, but well worth the time put into finding it and the money spent to buy it.

Where's the DVD?

This production is a masterpiece, and Tim Curry is as good an actor as ... well... Tim Curry can only be!
Brilliantly written and acted, with marvelous costumes, this is a must for any lover of history, the stage ... and, in case I didn't mention -- Tim Curry!

Will Shakespeare, wonderful!
3 Jan 1999
This 6 part video set is truly a master peice! Tim Curry in the role of a young Shakespeare (he does age in this, by the way) is magnificent. The scenery and a co-actors are wonderful and truly real life. I highly recommend buying this, though it is expensive . . . :( Ah well, 6 tapes, each an hour long full of Tim and everything is grand!
