BBC Shakespeare Tragedies DVD Giftbox Reviews
Not as good as Zeferrelli
BUT it was more complete than the 1968 version. And I will say, Alan Rickman's Tybalt was better than Michael York's. York is another one of those actors who makes a habit of chewing scenery, I much prefer Alan's more understated way of playing him. Not to mention, young Alan+tight costume=happy me!!!!
Derek Jacobi's Hamlet is a marvel to behold...
...and is the reason why I bought the boxed set. In my opinion the other adaptations are tepid, though I must admit I haven't watched Hopkins as Othello yet.
Jacobi is the definitive Hamlet for me (and the definitive Claudius in Branagh's 1996 version).
I suppose I will have to save my pennies and buy the Histories boxed set to own his Richard II. I recall seeing it as a youth on PBS and being duly impressed.
Too bad the DVDs are not sold individually.
