Description
"This comic confrontation between the sexes is one of the most frequently-staged plays. Its sparkling wit and rich characterization are matched with an outstanding cast. John Cleese, of Monty Python and Fawlty Towers gives a portrayal of Petruchio that wins unanimous critical acclaim, praised as "an object lesson in serving Shakespeare to a present-day audience."--From the container.

"Shakespeare is rightly considered the world's greatest playwright for the soaring beauty of his language, for his profound insight into human nature, for the truths he dramatized and for the realism of the characters he created. He was, and remains, a superb entertainer. Featuring some of Britain's most distinguished theatrical talent; Derek Jacobi, Sir John Gielgud, Charles Gray, Jon Finch, Martin Shaw, David Gwillim and Anthony Quayle, and many more. DVD brings out the rich beauty in the acting and the sound. The English language subtitles allow viewers to correctly understand the rapid fire beautiful language of William Shakespeare. *Digitally Remastered *Picture and Sound Enhanced *Word for Word as Written by William Shakespeare *The Most Popular and Widely Used Versions of Shakespeare's Plays *English Subtitled *Downloadable Scripts."--Publisher's description.
