Like every great poet Shakespeare introduces his story and characters to the audience/reader without having as lengthy prologue or spoken introduction (his prologues for Henry V, Pericles Prince of Tyre and Romeo & Juliet are so well done that he is pardoned for making them); first young Orlando and his brother Oliver explain their fraternal enmity and later the Duke’s wrestler Charles unfolds the loving relationship between Rosalind and Celia and the Duke’s usurpation.
Shame that the English government did not allot the money it did waste to save the English banks from bankruptcy to the insidious British Broadcasting Corporation, so that it could made all the Shakespeare versions of this collection in that way! I mean staging it outside and in castles instead of having cheap painted coulisses! And yes: This version is brilliantly done, though I favor the tragedies and histories much over the comedies; as Shakespeare could not write any comedy at all!
