full cast notes in the credit roll
My notes.
Eve Best is known both for her roles such as Beatrice in Much Ado About
Nothing and here as Cleopatra but there is more. She also directs for the
Globe company (Macbeth) and appears in BBC historical dramas as well. Most recently she is seen in NTLive's production of Oscar Wile's A Woman Of No Importance.
I encourage that the original dvd be purchased for libraries so that more
may enjoy them as I do. The subtitles are selectable from your media
player.
