Haven't seen it:

These were released when I was in high school. My favorite is Twelfth Night which does not appear to be here - I only hope the list is wrong. However, A Midsummer Night's Dream with Helen Mirren as Titania is fantastic and it is well worth purchasing this collection to see her in that role. All of these plays were quality productions and I have waited over 20 years to be able to see them again.

John Cleese is Petruchio:

I have seen three BBC productions of Shakespeare and they are quality films. John Cleese in Shrew is memorable; talk about a role made for an actor.

Taming of the Shrew version is the best!:

I have not seen all the videos, but I have seen Taming of the Shrew in all versions and John Cleese's version in this collection is the best. He is hysterically funny. I wish they sold the plays separately.
