Is that the RSC stage production with ian McKellen?
I'm a sucker for that and the terribly cast Welles versions, but Scotland PA was my favorite at the time.
I guess I'm dating myself, but I did a term paper on production comparison and it had just come out. I guess it's been long enough for another pass.
Yep! It's pretty high rated I think but I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would, it does have some good moments though. I think the best filmed-theatre version is the Saoirse Ronan one.
Scotland PA was definitely a highlight :)
They get a lot right in the symbolism department, English departments love that stuff.
Mckellans great, but beyond how they have him play the villan its pretty by the book.
