The best performance I have seen was at the Globe in London. Sis and I
had seats rather than standing in the pit of this replica of
Shakespeare's Globe.
As for movies of other Shakespeare's plays, The Merchant of Venice with
Al Pacino as Shylock is fantastic. "Looking for Richard" (about Richard
III) also with Pacino is worth looking for.
