  • Shakespeare on Film, Video & Stage
    William Shakespeare on Film, Video and Stage Titles in bold red font with an asterisk (*) represent the crème de la crème – first choice titles in each category. These are the titles you’ll probably want to explore first. Titles in bold black font are the second- tier – outstanding films that are the next level of artistry and craftsmanship. Once you have experienced the top tier, these are where you should go next. They may not represent the highest achievement in each genre, but they are definitely a cut above the rest. Finally, the titles which are in a regular black font constitute the rest of the films within the genre. I would be the first to admit that some of these may actually be worthy of being “ranked” more highly, but it is a ridiculously subjective matter.

  • Join Us and the Kiss Me, Kate Cast!
    President: Vice President: No. 481 - December 2012 Simon Russell Beale CBE Nickolas Grace Price 50p when sold Join us and the Kiss Me, Kate Cast! by Liz Schafer On Saturday 5 January 2013, the Vic-Wells Association will be inviting members of the cast of Kiss Me, Kate to take a break between shows and join our annual Twelfth Night party. But behind the characters of Fred Graham and Lilli Vanessi in Kiss Me, Kate lurk the ghosts of a great husband and wife theatrical team: Alfred Lunt (1892- 1977) and Lynn Fontanne (1887-1983). While it is well known that Kiss Me, Kate was inspired by the explosive quarrels of Lunt and Fontanne - stage-manager, Arthur Saint-Subber, used to watch in awe as Lunt and Fontanne rowed backstage and then swept on stage to perform The Taming of the Shrew as if nothing was wrong – it is less well known just how much Fred Graham’s Hannah Waddingham as Katherina production of The Shrew owes to Lunt and Fontanne’s 1935 production of the same play, a production so successful that it toured until 1940. “ The spanking scene But this theatrical debt was really brought home to me when I saw Michael offers us a moment of Blakemore’s Tony award winning revival of Kiss Me, Kate in the Martin Beck living theatre history” Theatre, New York, on a Saturday evening in April 2001. As it happened that day I had spent the entire morning in the Billy Rose Theatre collection reading a Lunt/Fontanne prompt copy and had the details of their comic business very fresh in my mind.
