Dept. 1090C 1290 Avenue of the Americas, Suite 2245 New York, NY 10102-1010 USA The prices, however, are steep. $5000 for the complete set and $249.95 for individual plays. I agree that the Cleese/Miller interpretation is the palatable for me. I also enjoyed the Richard II of Derek Jacobi - one of the best productions.

I was wrong... it was much better. His Petruchio was funny but sensitive...one of the best interpretations I've ever seen. I, too, would be interested in getting a copy of it. >*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*< Hope GreenbergThis email address is being protected from spambots.
