Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Shakespeare's women are lovingly illuminated by a woman, Claire Bloom, who has played many of his heroines on the stage and the screen. The Bard "knew everything about everybody," says the actress, who is so familiar with the characters it's as if she's just taken tea with them. The production interweaves film clips, such as Bloom playing Lady Anne to Laurence Olivier's Richard III in the 1955 film, with soliloquies Bloom performs for the camera. (Bloom has spent much time in recent years performing a one-woman stage show on Shakespeare's women.) Brought to life are Juliet, Ophelia from Hamlet, Portia from The Merchant of Venice, Rosalind from As You Like It, and a handful of other roles. Surprises also pop up, such as John Barrymore's 1935 screen test for Hamlet. It's an excellent primer on some of Shakespeare's works and a splendid scrapbook of film and play interpretations of his works over much of the past century. --Valerie J. Nelson
Product Description:
In this charming film, British actress Claire Bloom takes an insightful look at the art of Shakespearean acting with rich portrayals of many of Shakespeare's most memorable women including Portia, Rosalind, Imogen and Juliet. Included are a series of riveting solo reads as well as excerpts from television productions and her famous films with Laurence Olivier and Derek Jacobi.
Bloom relates her experiences playing Shakespeare's heroines throughout her long career, beginning at age 17 as Ophelia at Stratford-on-Avon, as well her prosperous years as Juliet on stage and her movie debut with Charlie Chaplin in Limelight. Bloom also provides a clear and absorbing introduction to the literature that has captivated audiences for centuries.
Shakespeare's Women will provide lovers of the Bard, and of acting in general, with an unforgettable evening of entertainment.
