Once of the best versions from a great theatre. With the perfect group of players. Now have it on DVD to watch time and again.

Paul Chahidi is a sublime Maria -- the best actor of either gender I've ever seen in the role.

Close to how Shakespeare’s own time would have done it, perhaps, but kinda OTT in a modern production of the play which is all about cross dressing anyway.

Where can I buy the whole video of this play? Such beautiful actors!

[@meganskelton7452]

I bought my DVD copy on Amazon, but the Globe has a streaming service where you can subscribe or buy digital versions of the plays individually. This one is the 2013 Globe on Screen production 😊

Perfect casting for an unlikeable middle-class twot
