The cast is absolutely superb and I do mean the entire cast, not only the big name leads.The delivery of the dialogue is so beautifully done that even a Shakespeare novice will understand what is being conveyed. All that said, this is a tremendous production, the comedy is brought to the fore which makes the tragedy even more profound. I also feel that the nature of filming in close up and multi angle sometime gets the viewer too close to the characters. The DVD version is a very good representation of the stage version but it lacks the magic of watching a live production, the interaction that the characters have with the audience, the emotional responses of a theatre full of people that allows you as an individual to show greater emotion than sitting in front of a TV. It was spellbinding, every actor on the stage was immaculate in their performance, the audience laughed and cried openly.
I was fortunate enough to see one of the previews this production on stage while David Tennant was still fit.
