[ Othello (ca. 1603-1604) - Summary ]

Set against the backdrop of Venice’s wars with the Ottoman Empire, Othello tells the tragic story of its eponymous Moorish general, whose downfall is driven by jealousy and manipulation.

After Othello promotes Cassio over Iago, the disgruntled Iago plots to convince Othello that his wife, Desdemona, is unfaithful with Cassio.

Iago’s cunning manipulation stirs Othello’s jealousy to the point of madness, leading him to murder Desdemona.

Upon realizing her innocence too late, Othello takes his own life.
The play explores themes of jealousy, trust, and racial tension.

The Wood Demon - Ian Holm - Francesca Annis - Anton Chekhov - 1974 - Restored 2024 - SN EDU - 4K

Shakespeare Network 2024-09-13 | The Wood Demon or Leshy (Russian: Леший, romanized: Leshy, 1889) is a comedic play in four acts by Anton Chekhov. Shakespeare Network Educational Program - SN Archives.

Written in September and October 1889, it was totally reworked in December, and premiered on December 27, 1889 at the private Abramova Theatre in Moscow. This second version of The Wood Demon was completed in April 1890 and received the permission to be staged by Imperial Theatres in May. It was published by the Rassokhin Publishers on 23 August 1890.[1]

The play was first refused by the Alexandrinsky Theatre of Saint Petersburg and the Maly Theatre of Moscow.

Eight years after this play failed, Chekhov returned to the work. He reduced the cast list by half, changed the climactic suicide into an anti-climax of a failed homicide, and published the reworked play, much more successfully, under the title Uncle Vanya.

James Earl Jones - Shakespeare - Sonnet 55 - ‘Not marble, nor the gilded monuments’ - 4K

Shakespeare Network 2024-09-10 | SN Audio Archives - Shakespeare Network Educational Program - A Companion to Shakespeare

James Earl Jones (January 17, 1931 – September 9, 2024) was an American actor known for his film roles and for his work in theater. Jones has been described as "one of America's most distinguished and versatile" actors for his performances on stage and screen. He has also been called "one of the greatest actors in American history". He was one of the few performers to achieve the EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony). Jones was inducted into the American Theater Hall of Fame in 1985, and honoured with the National Medal of Arts in 1992, the Kennedy Center Honor in 2002, the Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award in 2009, and the Honorary Academy Award in 2011.

SONNET 55
Not marble, nor the gilded monuments
Of princes, shall outlive this powerful rhyme;
But you shall shine more bright in these contents
Than unswept stone besmear'd with sluttish time.
When wasteful war shall statues overturn,
And broils root out the work of masonry,
Nor Mars his sword nor war's quick fire shall burn
The living record of your memory.
'Gainst death and all-oblivious enmity
Shall you pace forth; your praise shall still find room
Even in the eyes of all posterity
That wear this world out to the ending doom.
So, till the judgment that yourself arise,
You live in this, and dwell in lover's eyes.

The Cherry Orchard - Peggy Ashcroft - John Gielgud - Judi Dench - Ian Holm - 1962 Restored 2024 - 4K

Shakespeare Network 2024-09-06 | Shakespeare Network Edition - The Cherry Orchard (Russian: Вишнёвый сад, romanized: Vishnyovyi sad) is the last play by Russian playwright Anton Chekhov. Written in 1903, it was first published by Znaniye (Book Two, 1904), and came out as a separate edition later that year in Saint Petersburg, via A.F. Marks Publishers. On 17 January 1904, it opened at the Moscow Art Theatre in a production directed by Konstantin Stanislavski. Chekhov described the play as a comedy, with some elements of farce, though Stanislavski treated it as a tragedy. Since its first production, directors have contended with its dual nature. It is often identified as one of the three or four outstanding plays by Chekhov, along with The Seagull, Three Sisters, and Uncle Vanya.

Shakespeare Network 2024-09-03 | Platonov (Russian: Платонов, also known as Fatherlessness and A Play Without a Title) is the name in English given to an early, untitled play in four acts written by Anton Chekhov in 1878. It was the first large-scale drama by Chekhov, written specifically for Maria Yermolova, rising star of Maly Theatre. Yermolova rejected the play and it was not published until 1923.

The lead character is Mikhail Platonov, a disillusioned provincial schoolmaster. The play is set in a dilapidated country house in the Russian provinces. Landowner Anna Petrovna, Sofia Yegorovna, wife of Anna Petrovna's stepson, and one of his colleagues fall in love with the married Platonov. He thinks society is without ideas and principles, but is aware that he himself is very much part of that society. He is compared to Hamlet and Don Juan, and likes to think of himself as a witty and intellectually stimulating entertainer. In the end, he recognises his hopeless position between the four women and retreats into alcohol. Finally, Sofia understands that she cannot hope for a new life with Platonov and shoots him.

As You Like It - Laurence Olivier - First Movie Appearance - 1936 - Restored 2024 - 4K

Shakespeare Network 2024-09-01 | New Print - Restored 2024 - William Shakespeare - As You Like It - 1936 Feature Film - This is Olivier's first performance of Shakespeare on screen - he was 29 years old. Directed by Paul Czinner

CAST
Orlando LAURENCE OLIVIER
Rosalind ELISABETH BERGNER
Celia SOPHIE STEWART
Duke Senior HENRY AINLEY
Duke Frederick FELIX AYLMER

The 1936 adaptation is the first time that a Shakespearean play was made into a sound film. It was directed in London by Paul Czinner, an Austrian Jew that fled his home country to avoid political persecution. The film stars his wife, Elizabeth Bergner, also an Austrian Jewish refugee. To the persecuted, the escape to the Forest of Arden does not simply represent, as Celia sees it, a place to spend time and relax so much as an escape to freedom. This view is reflected in the film created by refugees, and speaks to other refugees and exiles.

Albert Camus : The Madness of Sincerity - Un combat contre labsurde - 1997 - 4K

Shakespeare Network 2024-08-26 | A French/English documentary - English Subtitles - Directed by James Kent - France, United Kingdom, 1997

Watch - The Stranger (The Outsider) and The Plague and on SN:

- Lo Straniero - Marcello Mastroianni - Luchino Visconti - Albert Camus - 1967 - Remastered 2024 - 4K - youtu.be/jpEcqeKAzMw

- The Plague - William Hurt - Robert Duvall - Raul Julia - Albert Camus - La Peste - 1992 - 4K - youtu.be/h8-xhbmE-qE

Synopsis
Opening with a childhood story from his life, the documentary above, Albert Camus: The Madness of Sincerity, tells us that the philosopher/journalist/novelist’s first love was “the howling and the tumult of the wind.”

A French/English documentary produced by ARTE, the French-German cultural channel which provides innovative programming for the European community. This documentary examines the life of the Nobel Prize-winning novelist Albert Camus and includes interviews with Camus's family members, friends, and colleagues, as well as home movie footage. Also featured are readings from some of his most celebrated novels, including The Stranger also published in English as The Outsider (1942), "The Plague" (1947), "The Rebel" (1951), and "The Fall" (1957). Topics discussed include the following, among others: the way he charmed and befriended women immediately; the mysterious and intriguing aura that surrounded him; the reason he was not ashamed of his womanizing; the way he treated his various lovers; his daily editorials for "Combat," the newsletter which grew out of the French Resistance in 1944; the way he met and felt love for young Maria Casares while he was happily married; the reason the entire community knew of his relationship with Casares, despite efforts to keep it a secret; the way people in the U.S. responded to him and his literary work; why reviews of "The Rebel" were extremely harsh, considering the subject matter and the escalation of the Cold War; the reasons he became involved in the theater as a respite from writing novels; how he was persuaded to appear on television to promote the play, "The Possessed," which he was directing; the way his wife's mental health began to deteriorate as they spent more and more time apart; his difficulty in comprehending the fact that his wife was having trouble dealing with their unfaithful marriage, even though from the start they had agreed to permit extramarital liasons; what receiving the Nobel Prize in Literature for "The Fall" was like; his ostracization for several years, after receiving the Nobel Prize, due to his strong views against communism; the reason he decided to live almost in exile during the late 1950s; the sort of relationship he had with his children; why a reader can understand Camus from his posthumously published novel, "The First Man"; and his portentous decision to write sentimental letters to his many lovers just days before the car accident that killed him in 1960.

Cataloging of this program was made possible by ARTE, The Cultural Services of the French Embassy, and the Goethe-Institut New York/German Cultural Center, 1997.

French Titile: "Albert Camus, un combat contre l'absurde"

Synopsis
Ceci est l'histoire, enfin revelee, de l'un des plus grands auteurs francais du XXe siecle. Un ecrivain qui, dans un monde qui se mefie de l'ideologie, a enfin retrouve la place qui lui etait due et le respect de ceux qui preferent la justice et la verite au dogme et a l'extremisme.

Orson Welles - Film Directing - Master Class II - Paris - 1982 - Restored 2024 - 4K

Shakespeare Network 2024-08-21 | English - French onstage translation - In February of 1982, Orson Welles was sixty-six years old and hadn’t completed a dramatic feature since the docu-fiction “F for Fake,” from 1973. He was in France, to be decorated as a commander of the Légion d’Honneur, and while there he paid a visit to the Cinémathèque Française, for a Q. & A. Master Class with film students, mostly Film Directing students. The event was filmed by Pierre-André Boutang and Guy Seligmann; it’s both a moving portrait of the caged cinematic lion (who died in 1985, without making another feature) and an enduringly insightful set of lessons on the art and the practice of making movies.

Orson Welles' Filmmaking Master Class I - University of Southern California - 1981 - Restored 2001 - 4K on SN: youtu.be/CCmfi1cs4qw

Welles declares his desire for the session to be a dialogue; the students (who form a standing-room crowd) prove reticent, however, and he makes strenuously good-humored efforts to get them to engage—and then delivers generous, copious, blazingly uninhibited answers to their brief questions. The discussion is moderated by Henri Béhar, who also serves as the onstage translator. The time that it takes Béhar to repeat Welles’s remarks in French (and, at times, to put the students’ questions into English) lends the discussion a natural rhythm, within which Welles composes his thoughts with rhetorical flair and invests them with dramatic weight and comedic timing. Welles, who was one of the greatest and grandest of actors and also of directors, turns the event into a performance—without sacrificing a whit of candor. He brings a mighty, Shakespearean pathos and comedy to the casually structured occasion.

Orson Welles à la Cinémathèque française
Pierre-André Boutang, Guy Seligmann
France / 1983 / 1:33:11
Avec Orson Welles, Henri Béhar.
Le 24 février 1982, invité à Paris pour être décoré de la Légion d'honneur des mains de François Mitterrand, et pour présider la cérémonie des Césars, Orson Welles dialoguait avec un public essentiellement composé de jeunes auditeurs.
Numérisation d'un élément inversible 16 mm (1 116 mètres) issu des collections de la Cinémathèque française.

Dans la salle bondée de Chaillot, remplie d'élèves des écoles de cinéma parisiennes auxquels se mêlent de jeunes assidus de la Cinémathèque française, Orson Welles n'est pas venu parler de son œuvre, sur laquelle très peu de questions lui seront posées au demeurant. Il passe les dix premières minutes à interroger son public. Une poignée seulement des aspirants cinéastes se disent engagés ? Une poignée se destinent au pur divertissement ? Servi par l'animation et la traduction fines et souriantes d'Henri Béhar, Welles développe obstinément ses théories sur la surestimation du réalisateur au détriment de ces vrais créateurs que sont les comédiens, ces artistes qu'il faut respecter, chérir et comprendre mieux qu'ils ne le font eux-mêmes. Même sa défiance pour la couleur a partie liée avec la glorification des acteurs : « Le noir et blanc est le grand ami du comédien. » Dans le temple de la cinéphilie, Welles déconseille de s'immerger dans les films, d'écouter des enseignants discourir sans fin d'Eisenstein ou Griffith. Il prend pour cibles Cecil B. DeMille, Alfred Hitchcock ou, pour raisons politiques, Elia Kazan, sans oublier les émules de l'Actors Studio, Marlon Brando compris. Il réclame plus d'une fois qu'on lui adresse des objections : « Vous êtes vraiment beaucoup trop gentils avec moi. » Une dizaine de jours plus tard, dans un entretien avec les Cahiers du cinéma, Welles se désolidarisera partiellement de ses propos : « Chaque conférence est un spectacle, et il dépend de votre public » ; il a voulu secouer « des bourgeois aisés qui ont dit à leurs parents qu'ils voulaient être metteurs en scène ». Sans doute, mais a-t-il joué devant des caméras de télévision beaucoup de si pétillants spectacles ?

Orson Welles - Filmmaking Master Class I - University of Southern California 1981 Restored 2001 - 4K

Shakespeare Network 2024-08-20 | This "Filmmaking Master Class" - University of Southern California made in 1981 was originally part of the unfinished making-of: "Filming The Trial" , which focuses on the production of his 1962 film The Trial.

Watch also Orson Welles' Film Directing Master Class - Cinémathèque française - Paris - 1982 - Restored 2024 - 4K on SN: youtu.be/oCD1_niFIgc

Background
In 1978 Orson Welles directed Filming Othello. That film had mostly consisted of a monologue in which Welles discussed his 1952 adaptation of Othello. Encouraged by the result, he set out to make a similar documentary/essay film looking back at his own film of The Trial.

Filming
In 1981, Welles gave a 90-minute question-and-answer session at the University of Southern California after a screening of The Trial. He had his cinematographer Gary Graver film the session with a view to editing highlights of the footage into the projected film. Graver observed, "A lot of people were there in the audience that day who are successful filmmakers now", as well as several noted film critics such as Joseph McBride and Todd McCarthy.

However, Welles never got round to editing the raw footage. Its only use in Welles' lifetime was by BBC journalist Leslie Megahy for his 1982 Arena documentary on Welles; specifically, the documentary features a young man asking Welles whether he would agree he has been persecuted by The Establishment and the capitalist system, and Welles being somewhat bemused by the question.

Revival of the footage
After Orson Welles' death in 1985, all of his unfinished films were bequeathed to his long-term companion Oja Kodar, and she in turn donated many of them (including Filming 'The Trial') to the Munich Film Museum for preservation and restoration.

In the 2000s, the Munich Film Museum then edited together the complete footage into an 82-minute cut of the Q&A session. Since Graver had to change film cartridges approximately every 10 minutes, this created breaks in filming, which are noticeable in the final cut.

Antony & Cleopatra - Catherine Malfitano - Richard Cowan - Opera - Samuel Barber - 1991 - 4K

Shakespeare Network 2024-08-14 | Antony and Cleopatra, Op. 40, (last revised version in 2 acts - 1975) is an opera by Samuel Barber adapted from Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra. It was based on the play Antony and Cleopatra by William Shakespeare and made use of Shakespeare's language exclusively. Last revised version - 1975 - This version, first introduced in a conservatory staging in 1975, reached a major operatic stage only last October, when Lyric Opera of Chicago mounted it.

SN Historical Archives - TV Broadcast - 1991- Remastered 4K - acceptable quality.

Listen to the - SN Archives - Radio Broadcast - 1966 - World Premiere - Opening of the New Metropolitan Opera in NY - Early version - three acts: youtu.be/QD0CD5JATDs

Early version - three acts - The libretto was prepared by Franco Zeffirelli. The opera was first performed on September 16, 1966, commissioned for the opening of the new Metropolitan Opera House in Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York City. After an unsuccessful premiere, the opera was extensively revised by Barber and Gian Carlo Menotti into an edition first performed in 1975.

Barber, dead these 11 years, suffered deeply, it has long been reported, from the failure of the original “Antony,” produced lavishly by Franco Zeffirelli for the opening of the new Metropolitan Opera house in Lincoln Center in 1966.

Eight years later, the composer wrote a new version--with his longtime collaborator, composer Gian Carlo Menotti, as co-librettist--requiring a smaller cast, demanding of less spectacle and dramatically tighter, than the original.

Less than two hours in length, the revised “Antony” seems a masterpiece of compression, though still uncompelling as drama; it remains, in the words of one critic, “a brisk budget tour of the play’s events.” Barber’s functional, sometimes beautiful music falls short of his higher standard.

Antony & Cleopatra - Leontyne Price - Justino Díaz - Barber - MET Opening 1966 SN Restored 2024 - 4K

Shakespeare Network 2024-08-11 | Antony and Cleopatra, Op. 40, is an opera in by Samuel Barber - adapted from Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra - SN Archives - Radio Broadcast - 1966 - World Premiere - Early version - three acts - The libretto was prepared by Franco Zeffirelli.

The opera is based on the play Antony and Cleopatra by William Shakespeare and made use of Shakespeare's language exclusively.

Watch also the full video performance of the last revised version made in 1975 - TV - Lyric Opera of Chicago - youtu.be/9CcdCuMPk3U

The opera was first performed on September 16, 1966, commissioned for the opening of the new Metropolitan Opera House in Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York City. After an unsuccessful premiere, the opera was extensively revised by Barber and Gian Carlo Menotti into an edition first performed in 1975.

Last revised version - 1975 - This version, first introduced in a conservatory staging in 1975, reached a major operatic stage only last October, when Lyric Opera of Chicago mounted it.

Barber, dead these 11 years, suffered deeply, it has long been reported, from the failure of the original “Antony,” produced lavishly by Franco Zeffirelli for the opening of the new Metropolitan Opera house in Lincoln Center in 1966.

Eight years later, the composer wrote a new version--with his longtime collaborator, composer Gian Carlo Menotti, as co-librettist--requiring a smaller cast, demanding of less spectacle and dramatically tighter, than the original.

Less than two hours in length, the revised “Antony” seems a masterpiece of compression, though still uncompelling as drama; it remains, in the words of one critic, “a brisk budget tour of the play’s events.” Barber’s functional, sometimes beautiful music falls short of his higher standard.

Ralph Fiennes - Shakespeare - Sonnet 129 - Th expense of spirit in a waste of shame - 4K

Shakespeare Network 2024-08-08 | Ralph Fiennes - Shakespeare Network Educational Program - A Companion to Shakespeare

Sonnet 129: Th'expense of spirit in a waste of shame - By William Shakespeare
Th' expense of spirit in a waste of shame
Is lust in action; and till action, lust
Is perjured, murd'rous, bloody, full of blame,
Savage, extreme, rude, cruel, not to trust,
Enjoyed no sooner but despisèd straight,
Past reason hunted; and, no sooner had
Past reason hated as a swallowed bait
On purpose laid to make the taker mad;
Mad in pursuit and in possession so,
Had, having, and in quest to have, extreme;
A bliss in proof and proved, a very woe;
Before, a joy proposed; behind, a dream.
All this the world well knows; yet none knows well
To shun the heaven that leads men to this hell.

A Midsummer Nights Dream - Britten - Shakespeare - Royal Swedish Opera - 2023 - 4K

Shakespeare Network 2024-08-03 | Two pairs of young lovers, more or less frustrated, flee into the woods to escape conventions and demands and to find their true selves. But the forest is a place not only of freedom, fancy and dreams but also nightmares, chaos and folly. This is the domain of Oberon and his queen Titania, who are in the middle of a marital crisis so serious that nature itself is in a state of imbalance.

With his lifelong companion Peter Pears, Benjamin Britten transformed Shakespeare’s play into an operatic libretto and wrote its beautiful, enchanting music. Sorcery, entanglements and distorted perceptions of reality mean that everything is turned upside down for those seeking love in the woods. In Royal Swedish Opera’s new production of Shakespeare’s comic fantasy, a forest is more a psychological location than a physical one. Under the baton of Simon Crawford Phillips and stage direction of Tobias Theorell, the merry tale is transformed into an exploration of the subconscious.

Lady Windermeres Fan - Oscar Wilde - Helena Little - Tim Woodward - 1985 - Remastered 4K

Shakespeare Network 2024-07-27 | Lady Windermere's Fan, A Play About a Good Woman is a four-act comedy by Oscar Wilde, first performed on Saturday, 20 February 1892, at the St James's Theatre in London.

The premiere at the St James's Theatre was followed by a famous speech by Wilde. When Wilde answered the calls of "Author!" and appeared before the curtains after the third act, critics were more offended by the cigarette in his hand than his ironically egotistic speech:

"Ladies and Gentlemen. I have enjoyed this evening immensely. The actors have given us a charming rendering of a delightful play, and your appreciation has been most intelligent. I congratulate you on the great success of your performance, which persuades me that you think almost as highly of the play as I do myself." Oscar Wilde

The Importance of Being Earnest - Oscar Wilde - Joan Plowright - Paul McGann - 1988 - Remastered 4K

Shakespeare Network 2024-07-26 | The Importance of Being Earnest, a Trivial Comedy for Serious People is a play by Oscar Wilde. First performed on 14 February 1895 at the St James's Theatre in London, it is a farcical comedy in which the protagonists maintain fictitious personae to escape burdensome social obligations. Working within the social conventions of late Victorian London, the play's major themes are the triviality with which it treats institutions as serious as marriage and the resulting satire of Victorian conformity. Some contemporary reviews praised the play's humour as the culmination of Wilde's artistic career, while others were cautious about its lack of social messages. Its high farce and witty dialogue have helped make The Importance of Being Earnest a very popular play.

CAST
Joan Plowright ... Lady (Augusta) Bracknell
Paul McGann ... Jack Worthing (masquerading as Ernest)
Amanda Redman ... Gwendolen Fairfax
Gemma Jones ... Miss Laetitia Prism

PART I - IV - from 1849 to 1850s - The Full Series

Opening in 1849, Richard Wagner is a respected composer living in Dresden, where he works as royal court conductor for the King of Saxony, Friedrich August II, and he is trying to arrange the first performance of his recently composed opera Lohengrin. Although his wife, Minna, enjoys their life and status, Wagner is bored with his work for the ageing king and spends most of his time writing revolutionary pamphlets against the establishment and aristocracy. Eventually, the May Uprising breaks out and Wagner becomes an important figure behind it. When Saxon and Prussian troops crush the uprising, Wagner becomes a wanted man and is forced to flee to Zürich.

In the 1850s, Wagner's health deteriorates and he has to be cured in a sanatorium, where he reads Arthur Schopenhauer's work Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung. At his return, Mathilde Wesendonck, the wife of wealthy silk merchant Otto Wesendonck, becomes yet another one of his patrons and offers him the cottage on her estate as his residence. Once installed in the cottage, Wagner begins a passionate correspondence with Mathilde, which upsets both Mathilde's husband, Otto, and Wagner's wife, Minna, who seeks solace in increasing amounts of laudanum. Wagner, who starts composing Tristan und Isolde for Mathilde, is also visited by his good friend Hans von Bülow, and his new bride Cosima, Liszt's daughter. After a while, Minna works up the courage to confront Wagner and Mathilde about their correspondence.

In the 1870s, construction on the opera house in Bayreuth begins and the epic Der Ring des Nibelungen can finally be premiered. The opening August 1876 performance is attended by Ludwig who is slowly losing his mind, while living in his gigantic new castle Neuschwanstein. Wagner and Nietzsche have a falling-out over Wagner's lifestyle and ideas (including his rampant anti-semitism). Later in 1882, Wagner stages his last opera, the Parsifal, under the conductor Hermann Levi.

Shortly before his death in February 1883, the aged Wagner travels to Venice, Italy with his family. There, he reflects with Liszt on his life: the people he has known, the events that occurred and the music he composed.

Kenneth Branagh and Cast - Interview - King Lear - New Production - THE SHED - 2024 - 4K

Shakespeare Network 2024-06-28 | Kenneth Branagh plays the title role in a new production of William Shakespeare’s King Lear - The Shed’s Bloomberg Building - October 2024. Interview: The actor/co-director is joined by other cast members from the London production Deborah Alli, Melanie-Joyce Bermudez, and Jessica Revell as they discuss the motivations behind their characters.
_______________
The production is set in the barbarous landscape of Ancient Britain. Featuring a cast of rising stars from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art co-directed by Rob Ashford, Branagh, and Lucy Skilbeck - Branagh's directorial approach releases the play’s power and turmoil in a fast-paced staging.

In playing Lear, Branagh completes a trifecta of great Shakespearean tragic roles, complementing past appearances as Hamlet in his Academy Award–nominated film version of the play (1996) and on stage as Macbeth in a celebrated immersive production (2014). This strictly limited, exclusive US engagement of King Lear runs for 50 performances only.

Shakespeare Network 2024-06-26 | This 1984 documentary examines the career of Sanford Meisner (1905-1997), a founding member of the legendary Group Theatre who went on to train generations of notable American actors in a teaching career spanning over fifty years. Original Title: SANFORD MEISNER: THE THEATER'S BEST KEPT SECRET (TV)

This program features interviews with prominent actors and directors trained by Meisner who discuss their impressions of the man, his technique, and how his ideals have shaped their lives as artists.

Includes interviews with the following Meisner alumni: actors Robert Duvall, Joanne Woodward, Suzanne Pleshette, and Gregory Peck; playwright David Mamet; actors Eli Wallach, Anne Jackson, and Mary Steenburgen; director Sydney Pollack; actor Tony Randall; director Elia Kazan; actor Jon Voight; actress/dancer Gwen Verdon; director Vivian Matalon; actor Peter Falk; director Mark Rydell; choreographer Bob Fosse; and actress Lee Grant. Also includes footage of the following Meisner-trained actors and directors: Sydney Pollack directing Dustin Hoffman on the set of the 1982 film "Tootsie"; Grace Kelly in "The Country Girl" (1954); Steve McQueen in Mark Rydell's "The Reivers" (1969); and director Mark Rydell at work on a set.

Highlights include the following: Meisner teaches a class at the Neighborhood Playhouse, his voice amplified by a prosthetic device due to his laryngectomy; director Sydney Pollack interviews Meisner, who talks about how his approach to teaching evolved; Meisner leads students in his famous listening/reacting exercise in which actors repeat the same line to each other back and forth repeatedly; director Elia Kazan remembers the artistic devotion of the Group Theatre and the sensitivity of the young Mesiner; Randall discusses Meisner's early acting career with the Group Theatre;

Sydney Pollack describes a project funded by former students, in which seventy hours of Meisner classes were videotaped for posterity; Meisner discusses how guilt over the death of his brother when he was five shaped his life and pushed him into a world of fantasy and personal isolation; Meisner coaches actress Frances Sternhagen and transforms her monologue in a matter of moments; and Meisner has some practical and inspirational words for his students.
