1.Understanding Shakespeare: Hamlet starring: Understanding Shakespeare November 16, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.99
The series, Understanding Shakespeare, which presents four of Shakespeare's tragedies in a two-hour each video package, is meant to help students understand the language, the character's motivations, the poetry of the plays, the sub-plots, and so forth. A panel of Shakespearean scholars are intercut with the main scenes of Hamlet, and they provide insight and commentary on a scene-by-scene basis. The fine young actor who plays Hamlet, Brad Yates, does an excellent job. During production no scene had to be re-done for any failure on Mr. Yates' part. He had all his lines memorized perfectly. It was an amazing feat! Other fine performances were turned in by Eva Loseth, whose Ophelia was touching and beautiful, and Lowell Noel who provides a bright spot in the graveyard scene. He's ...

4.Understanding Shakespeare: Macbeth starring: Understanding Shakespeare November 16, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $29.99
Funny how actors are superstitious about saying the name of the play, Macbeth. They always call it "the Scottish play". This is not a full-on presentation of the entire play. In the two-hour running length of the video the main scenes of Macbeth are acted out, and in between them a panel of experts from U.C.L.A. and California State University, Northridge analyze the meaning of the play, scene by scene. The actor who plays Macbeth, Don Stewart, was a regular on an afternoon soap opera for years and years. He always wanted to play Macbeth. Lady Macbeth is played by a magnificent young actress by the name of Caroline Carrigan. Her performance is exceptional. (In the other Understanding Shakespeare videos she portrays Desdemona in Othello, and Juliet's mother in Romeo and Juliet.) ... Read More

5.Understanding Shakespeare: Othello starring: Understanding Shakespeare March 23, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.50
I am the producer of this two hour video and I'm very proud of it. It is part of the four-part series Understanding Shakespeare, the Tragedies, available individually or as a four-pack including Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, and Macbeth. Othello is my personal favorite of the four because of the wonderful performances turned in by David Kirkwood (Othello) and Caroline Carrigan (Desdemona). David is a retired U.S. Air Force officer and former Olympic athlete. After retiring from the Air Force he turned to acting as a hobby. He's a superb actor and his power in the role of Othello is awesome. Caroline Carrigan is a marvelous actress who brings to the role of Desdemona a strong yet vulnerable feeling. The main scenes of the play are performed, intercut with a panel of Shakespearean scholars ... Read More
