Comment: SHK 20.0294 Major new Renaissance Drama DVD Releases
Adding to Hannibal Hamlin's list of DVDs, I'd recommend the best-filmed
A Midsummer Night's Dream I've seen. Released in 2005, it's a 1968 Peter
Hall-directed production with Judi Dench, Helen Mirren, Donald Eccles,
and Ian Holm. You can rent it from Netflix, or for $16.58, you can have
a new copy of it from amazon.com. Once on the website, click on
"customers' reviews" for reasons why this production and these
performances outshine all the others:

As I'm sure lots of people will observe, the Peter Brook King Lear is
available in British format (ie region 2, PAL). And you can get Chimes
at Midnight as an import DVD also.

Hannibal Hamlin wrote: "Now if only someone can put Chimes of Midnight
or Peter Brook's King Lear on DVD (I'm not holding my breath)."
Nor should you. BOTH are available on DVD. _Chimes_ from "Suevia Films",
Spain: regions 1-6; Brook's _Lear_ from Columbia Tristar Pictures-UK:
region 2. Try a European web-shop.

Alfredo Michel Modenessi

Learmedia in Canada has the Brook/Scofield Lear on a US-playable DVD.
Here's the link:

This web merchandiser has a great catalog.

What amazingly helpful people subscribe to this list. I have a copy of
the British release of the Brook Lear with Paul Scofield that Anthony
Martin mentioned; and although I have a extra DVD player that plays DVDs
from all regions, I jumped at buying a copy of the Region 1 version of
the Brook Lear from Canada's Learmedia mentioned by John Chapot. At
Learmedia, I also found a DVD copy of the Merchant of Venice with
Olivier playing Shylock as a Rothschild (I was eager to get a DVD
version, since my attempts at transferring my VHS copy to DVD were not
as successful as I would have liked). I also noted that Learmedia has
the Spanish "Suevia Films" version of Chimes at Midnight mentioned by
Alfredo Michel Modenessi. I have a copy of Chimes in its alternate title
Falstaff from a Brazilian distributor (the notes on the packaging are in
Portuguese); however, when I went to the web site
www.dvdcontinental.com.br I was not able to find Falstaff among the
current titles. I brought my copy from someone who specializes in
getting obscure titles. From the same person, I believe I bought my copy
of Welles's Macbeth with Korean as the default language.
