Shakespeare’s fanciful play, embued with a fairy-tale quality, stresses, in the words of Ben Jonson, "words above action, matter above words." Filmed at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival before a live audience, this production features Roberta Maxwell as Rosalind, the speculative and thoughtful heroine, and Andrew Gillies as Orlando, her sweetheart. It is directed by John Hirsch. (2 hours 40 minutes)
