Not sure how many of the plays have ever been put on film or video but there have been a few good ones I think.
Now, when it comes to astonishing Shakespearean acting, one is left speechless following a viewing of the unbelievable performance Keanu Reeves made in Branagh's film production of Much Ado About Nothing. If the playing's the thing, it's also aptly named ... and this ain't no rose, no matter how fondly told.
