3 Comedies / Various DVD

This 3-DVD set presents RSC productions of three of Shakespeare's most popular comedies. The Merry Wives of Windsor is a joyful portrait of suburbia, wives and over-inflated egos. In The Taming of the Shrew society is reimagined as a matriarchy, whilst Twelfth Night is a heartbreaking tale of unrequited love. "Christopher Luscombe's deliciously louche production... it's a visual feast... sumptuous nostalgia. Adrian Edmondson steals the show as Malvolio... Terrific..." (The Daily Mail) "The play busts with slap (stick) and tickle, prats and pratfalls and lots of laughs- there is not a weak link in the cast." (The Times)
