at imdb, "tonstant viewer" reports:

David Prowse, fresh off his first appearance as Darth Vader in the original "Star Wars," shows up unexpectedly as Charles the Wrestler, performing the Shakespeare well in his own voice, and not overdubbed by James Earl Jones.

David Prowse, tho passed over for the role of Superman in favor of Christopher Reeve, helped train Reeve for the part and touched by his death is now involved in a charity for spinal cord research. Prowse's official site here:

Helen Mirren was 33 years old when filming this, but she convincingly acts a younger gal.

  • Last night, I watched a small group of actors perform an abridgedment of this fine play in St.Leonards Gardens, East Sussex. They were superb and played with vastly more gusto and spirit than the puppets in this video, most of whom are NOT Shakespearian actors. To play Shakespeare well, you must play him again and again and again.. To pull someone out of a T.V. show and put him or her into one of Shakespeare's plays, is to court mediocrity.

  • this is terribly bland

  • So Helen Mirren plays the role of a woman playing a man!Being that she had the best "Treasure Chest" in Great Britain for 4 decades how could the blatantly obvious be so obscured?

  • bekar
