Welles/Shakespeare

Orson Welles

Two quick notes: Here you can find recordings of Orson Welles (mostly) Mercury Theater Company performing several of Shakespeare's plays. There's some editing, but nonetheless, Wow.

Second, note Terry Teachout's notes on the movie Me and Orson Welles. Disregard the kiddie romance - there's an important re-staging of Welle's modern-dress Julius Caesar. I missed the movie but have only heard great things about the actor mimicing Welles. Another Wow.
