"Claire Bloom's wise, witty and charming look at the art of Shakespearean
acting, rich with excerpts from television productions and her famous films
with Laurence Olivier, will provide lovers of the Bard and of acting in general
with an unforgettable evening's entertainment.
"Engaging viewers in direct conversations as well as riveting solo readings,
Bloom offers an absorbing introduction to the literature that has so captivated
movie audiences in recent years, through heroines famous like Ophelia in 'Hamlet'
and obscure like Lady Constance in 'King John.'
"With producers Julian Schlossberg and Seymour Wishman providing a lovely
look at Bloom's career, plus sensible, clear introductions to the more extended
excerpts, this lovely hour is a model of how to present high art to a broad
audience without losing either the art or the audience." -The Hollywood
Reporter
"Few living actresses know more about playing the Bard's heroines than
Claire Bloom. Your ears will be well served by her impeccable deliveries of
soliloquies by Juliet, Portia, Rosalind, Imogen, Emilia and Volumnia, and your
eyes delighted by film clips of her past performances as Lady Anne and Gertrude!"
