  • Is there any place a poor American college kid like me can rent this for LESS than $11? Rentals in the US cost about a dollar a day at most. NO movie, not even Lord of the Rings, is worth shelling out $11 for ONE online viewing. Few movies are even worth that in theaters. For the price of this one show I could subscribe to Netflix for a full month and a half. I WANT to see this, and I WANT to see it on a BUDGET! Give me the college budget price!

  • I ship these two so hard <3

  • I saw it live last year it was amazing soo funny

  • hi, @digitaltheatre I downloaded it and the player too but every time it gets to the end of the download it says 'error. failed to download because file is not complete. please try again.' is there something else i can do? My login seems fine, and it begins the download just fine, it doesn't have a problem till right at the end. Can you help please? I can't wait to watch this play!

  • @ankyshmanky try popping your username and password all to lower case. If that doesn't work you can get in touch with our support team via the website.

  • God.. this looks awful.. cheesearama :s

  • I almost downloaded it but my dad said it costs too much :(

  • i wish i could see this live, why do all the best plays never come to Australia:(

  • Please please please put it on iTunes!!!!!

  • Throwing in my vote for availability on DVD and/or iTunes!! Don't like the idea that I need a special player to watch it. Would much rather own a physical copy, or download it from iTunes where I can redownload if I ever lost it. Thanks for making it available at all though, and I can't wait to watch it eventually!

  • This was so amazing live! I wish I could have seen it more than once!

  • DAVID TENNANT KISSING CATHERINE TATE. All else is irrelative.

  • They finally get to kiss without him needing a detox! lol :D This is fantastic :)

  • Am I able to get this in the usa??

  • @weebler1981 Hi there, yes all of our productions are available to view online or download in the USA. 

  • I downloaded the player and paid for it but it keeps telling me that playback failed and that I'm not authorized to view the production. I don't understand ; ; Why can't I watch it???

  • @UtenaOfRoses try putting your password all in small case. If that doesn't work you can get in touch with our support team via our website.

  • Comment removed

  • 1:18 0_______0 what the hell?

  • @StickyCharmander His hand had fallen into the paint trough and, while he was eavesdropping on some folks telling some amazing story, he forgot about the paint and it went eeeeeverywhere.

  • @iTehHolli I also ship this, and will go down with this bloody ship.

  • Um is this out on DVD? And I'd so, is it available in Scotland? I'd appreciate your help, thanks :)

  • Where do we download it from?

  • @bandotaku You can download it from our website. If you click through on our logo to our channel page, and then on the logo on the right it should take you straight through to the digital theatre website. Unfortunately YouTube won't let me put a url in comments.

  • @digitaltheatre Ok, thank you!

  • My fangirl dreams just came true. Going to watch that kiss again and again, until my phone's battery is empty.

  • i know nothing of the play much ado about nothing. however, the fact that david tennant and catherine tate are in it and this amazing trailer makes me want to see this SOOO badly. thanks for making it available!

  • I am SO glad i bought this. I haven't been able to stop watching it. the two of them are just HILARIOUS together. There's just so much physicality and their faces are so expressive. I couldn't stop laughing.

  • Yeah, this is one for Doctor Who fans, not shakespeare enthusiasts...

  • @videogamenostalgia, I have been a Shakespeare enthusiast long before I became a Whovian, and especially of this play. As such, I can honestly say that I enjoyed watching this production (just now - on my laptop) very much because I find it wonderful - not because of Doctor Who. The acting was superb, and at some points even better then the 1993 version. Both Don Pedro and Don John are much better here. So, the fact that you didn't like it doesn't imply all Shakespeare enthusiasts won't.

  • @aferby I agree about Don John and Don Pedro being superior, but David Tennant and Catherine Tate were disastrous, and the overall direction was far far too broad and slapstick-y.

  • @videogamenostalgia I loved David Tennant's performance so very much, I now realy having trouble deciding which Benedick I love best - his or Kenneth Branagh's. As for Cathrine Tate, I might not love her Beatrice as much as I loved Emma Thompson's, but I wouldn't go so far as you to call her disastrous. There was indeed a great amount of slapstick, which I usualy hate, but somehow, for me it worked.

    BTW, I wasn't surprised Elliot Levey was better than Kianu - anything would have been better.

  • @videogamenostalgia I would remind you, then, that comedic Shakespeare in its original was crass and physical. He was catering to the uneducated masses. I would agree that there are times when Catherine Tate overdoes it, but in all I would say this is probably more akin to what Shakespeare would've envisioned than many modern-day productions. In fact, I would go so far as to say that I think Tennant's Benedick was brilliantly done and might be the best interp I've seen.

  • @videogamenostalgia please don't claim to speak for all of us. In the first place, there are many whovians who are also Shakespeare enthusiasts, In the second, Shakespeare is full of slapstick comedy. This is just modernizing it. If you missed that, you can't be nearly as up on your Shakespeare as you imagine. The point of Shakespeare is to be accessible. That's what he was writing for, and that's the way we enjoy his plays.

  • Make it available on Itunes!! PLEASE!!!

  • @DoyouwantaJellyBaby yes please make it available there. or to digitally download at amazon.com. it would make my life easier.

  • I admit. When they kissed, I screamed like a 6 year old girl.

  • @AshlynNicole390904 in fairness, that was one hell of a kiss.

  • I made an account on digital theatre just to see what it looks like but if it's a digital download then why does it have to be sent to my house?

  • Is this going to be on DVD? It should be because I went on the digital theatre site and I don't have 8.99 in pounds, only dollars and I don't have any way of paying online. I really wanna see it.

  • i live in the us will i be able to purchase this?

  • I ship it.

  • "GIVE NOT THIS ROTTEN ORANGE TO YOUR FRIEND!"

  • The Doctor Donna!

  • Lol. XD HAHAH! Tennant and Tate are awesome together! XD What's with his sparkly shirt though...O.o XD Love it! XD

  • I'll chime in as well - would love to see this in iTunes.

  • I only like a couple of Shakespeare's plays (he WAS the Stephenie Meyer of his day as far as teen romance stories go), but I imagine that this one would be one of the few, especially with David and Catherine in it. I love how well they perform together.

  • @AtarahDerek TAKE IT BACK.

  • @20centuryfox100 Actually, Stephenie Meyer's one up on him. She doesn't seem to have a suicide fetish. XP

    *ducks the ensuing right hook*

    Seriously, though, high school drama writes a better teen romance story than Romeo and Juliet. On the bright side, at least Romeo doesn't sparkle. At least I don't think he does...

  • @AtarahDerek actually, the reason that shakespeare is better than stephanie meyer (i never thought i would have to make this argument) is that shakespeare's characters are many-layered and real. they suffer from their own failings and glory in their virtues, and they either learn from their mistakes and live better lives, or they drown in their own tragedies. they are reflections of real people, and you never quite know what' they'll do, but they'll always do it with humanity.

  • @AtarahDerek with stephanie meyer, you get boring, plodding, predictable characters, who are paralyzed with their own angst, beyond the point of action. not only that, but the popular rumor is that meyer has a hidden mormon agenda, and the only agenda shakespeare ever had was trying to suck up to the royal court. don't get me wrong here, i mean you no disrespect, but i think you're way off-base here. shakespeare is better than twilight. except for "cymbeline," in which case...ew.

  • @20centuryfox100 I know Twilight just plain sucks. But I'll never understand all the hype around Romeo and Juliet. To me it's not a love story. It's a story about two emo teenagers from two different parts of snob knob who think the only way to get what they want is to run away and kill themselves. It's a story about parental shortcomings. Yet no one seems to realize that. There's no triumph of love there. Just dual acts of selfishness.

  • @AtarahDerek or, you could view it as the story of two teenagers who fall swiftly in love, as teenagers do, but whose relationship is doomed from the start by their parents' ridiculous prejudidces. they are brave enough to do what they believe is right, regardless of what anyone else thinks, which is more than i can say for a lot of people. they wanted to run away so that they could be together without having to live with their parents' unpleasantness.

  • @20centuryfox100 And punishing their parents by suicide solves this how?

  • @AtarahDerek they killed themselves because they each believed the other to be dead, and (being incredibly in love) they didn't see the point in living anymore. foolish, perhaps, but the dramatic device was enough to make their parents see that their feud was stupid (thus, fulfilling the whole point of the play).

  • @AtarahDerek as for being selfish, well...sometimes, if you're not selfish, you're miserable. if you really want or need something, you should be willing to go after it. if you aren't, then you're being selfless. or, another word would be: cowardly.

  • @20centuryfox100 Selflessness is courage.

    What would have worked was calling the old man out and announcing their intentions to leave with or without their parents' blessing. Not faking their own deaths--especially given that they never told each other their plans (Juliet fails at communication). Hey, it worked for Kovu and Kiara. The only suicide in that version was Zira--and only because she didn't want the humiliation of having been saved by a ditz of a princess.

  • @AtarahDerek okay...glossing over the fact that you just used "the lion king 2" to make your point, it would probably not have been possible for them to use your plan. maybe it would work for romeo, but juliet would be pretty much placed under house arrest if she decided to work up the chutzpah to announce to her parents that she was already married to romeo montague. if she just decided to up and go, her parents would comb the earth 'til they found her.

  • @AtarahDerek in order for her to have a clean break from her family, she had to be dead. it was a different world back then, remember.

    and it wasn't juliet that failed in communication. it was friar john's fault for not delivering the message.

    lastly, i agree with you that selflessness *can* be courageous, but isn't always. i guess i did over-generalize last time, but in this case, to not be selfish would be the same as cowardice.

  • @AtarahDerek Have you ever considered that instead of labelling Romeo & Juliet a simple 'romance story', considering it to be a tragedy about two very young people confusing lust for love? Stephenie Meyer may not have a suicide fetish, but her own fetishes are numerous and incomparably more stupid than Shakespeare's.

  • This is fantastic! Thank you so much for posting this :) Was wondering that, in the future, if you would be making any of these performances available on iTunes? I noticed that you all have a Digital Theatre App, which is great by the way :)

    ~T're

  • @TreUrvawi Hopefully at some point in the future! We are looking at making our productions available on other platforms.

  • @digitaltheatre Thank you very much for the reply. I look forward to it when it becomes available.

    ~T're

  • Tennant? Tate? Shakespeare? My spirit soars!

    Soooo... no dvd then? Just download?

  • I loved this movie. It was one of my favorite adaptations, and soooo funny. :)

  • Sorry, but why is there laughter after Claudio's rejection of Hero? That's kinda messed up, that's the most heart wrenching scene in the whole play...

    Other than that, this is a great trailer. That's my only problem.

  • @Sarutoke333 I think the laughter belongs to the next scene, they sometimes overlap the audio on trailers.

  • Just press 5 over and over XD

  • omg, i have to see this :D i'd give my left arm to have it on DVD. im in love with david and catherine..looks soooo good.

  • I love Shakespeare!!! I'm dying to see this--do be good chaps and make it available for us Americans, please! ^_^

  • @digitaltheatre I confirm it, bought it yesterday from Belgium, no problem at all with the process.

    And it is worth every cent spent for it.

  • @digitaltheatre not on my laptop which is where I wanted to view. I will be getting the DVD once it is released instead. Thanks anyway.

  • Who could not love these two?! They make the best comedy pair!

  • Saw this in London! I'm waiting until it comes out on region 1 DVD. It was worth the price of a theater ticket AND a plane ticket from NY to Heathrow, it's worth the price of a digital download or a DVD folks.

  • MY TWO FAVORITE ACTORS TOGETHER AGAIN-- MY DAY JUST GOT A WHOLE LOT BRIGHTER!!!

  • I m favouriting this and putting it on My playlist

  • Even in a Shakespeare production, he wears a Superman t-shirt. Oh, David, you're a colossal geek, and that is why we love you.

    (BTW, is that Catherine that went airborne at 1:00?)

  • Times like this, I wish I had money to spare....

  • CATHERINE TATE AND DAVID TENNANT ARE LIKE THE BESTED FRIENDS EVER.

  • I was supposed to wait for a DVD. But I didn't manage. Temptation was to great. Excellent quality! Although  would prefer wide set only in dancing scenes... :)

  • I want to watch! Is there a dvd coming out for it?

  • This is awesome, BUT WHY DID IT HAVE TO COME OUT DURING FINALS WEEK??? Oye, now I've got to try and resist temptation until Friday.

  • The DoctorDonna! :D

  • i was supposed to be going to see this but ended up falling ill so couldn't go in the end is it going to be on DVD ?

  • its those two from stargate i loved that show if i lived in londond i might see this

  • can i still download this if im american?

  • want it now.... is it free anywhere?

  • @cerulean383 yes, by all means, why pay for anything when you can just steal it from the artist who created it. Actors just love "fans" like you.

  • @westwingpotus im sure actors do love fans who really want to see their work because they think they are awesome and appreciate what they do. you make it sound like actors only care about money. also the "artist" who created it is william shakespeare who made his plays for everyone to enjoy whether you were rich or not

  • @cerulean383 It isn't free but you can purchase an online rental or download from our website

  • @digitaltheatre can i download it in america?

  • Like is too weak a word!!

  • THIS IS THE BEST THING TO HAVE HAPPENED TO ME ALL YEAR.

  • the way David says "endure".

    Also, this looks fantastic.

  • OH YES! Christmas has come early! Wonderful! Thank You Digital Theatre!

  • My favorite shakespeare play captured by two actors who I think could capture benedick and beatrice best.

  • OMGoodness, the fact that I can download this has totally turned my day around!!!! gosh, I need to get paid already!!!!!! Is there ever a chance of it being released on DVD?!?!

  • Is this downloadable to anywhere in the world, or just within the U.K.?

  • @JuhiSRK You can download it from outside the UK, too :D

  • @JuhiSRK Available anywhere in the world with currencies in GBP, US Dollars and also Euros

  • And the whovians rejoiced! XD

  • You have no idea how much I need this in my life! Early christmas present!

  • Yes yes yes :D! Still have to wait for dvd, but this trailer makes me very happy :D!

  • OH. MY. GOD. i ws praying for this to happen since august! :D

  • There is no information about file specifications on the site.

    Ideally, I'd want it on bluray, but I see you're selling an "HD" one.

    I assume that means 1080p video, but what about everything else? Video codec, container, bitrate, and filesize. There is no information.

    I want to know if it's worth it or if I'm better off with the dvd.

  • ‎Never mind.

    "Available to watch through the Digital Theatre Desktop Player only.

    Available offline following authentication from the Digital Theatre server (requires Internet connection when first accessing the production)."

    DRM only ruins the experience. It doesn't stop piracy. So dvd it is, then.

  • Thank you, Digital Theatre! I ♡ You!

  • Can I ...

    Oh my God

    this

    God

    I am

    Just

  • OH MY GOD. I AM SCREAMING MY BLOODY LUNGS OUT. OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD. DEATH. DEATH. I LOVE THEM. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH. THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY~

  • THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU !!!!

    THANK YOU !!! :')
