Thank you so much for uploading these...these are invaluable!

This is a really impressive performance. I know this play and the histories extremely well, and I recognize the clever editing that's going on with the text and the scenes; this is an amazing play with an outstanding cast.

I've known for some time that Barton and Hall broke the mould at Stratford and turned the traditional 50's style of Bard acting upside down..But seeing really is believing..The cast plays this so naturally..Truly modern, contemporary acting and direction..Coming through Brecht and realism.
