an amazing performance

This is one of the best things John Cleese has done. I have not seen all his work, but a lot of it, including Python, Fawlty Towers, A Fish called Wanda....but this supersedes them all. Exactly the right portrayal of what Petruchio should be. All of the acting is magnificent; the director gets much kudos! The lines are cleverly delivered, with much comedy and the actors are at ease speaking 'shakespearease.' The set is simple, not to distract from the acting. The gal who plays Katherine is amazing, too. She and Cleese make a perfect combination. And it's really so romantic! I could watch this quarterly and not get tired of it.
