I first saw this on VHS at my grandma's. She recorded it and I watched it while going through her collection. Every year we would visit and every year I would watch it, that was until she recorded over it. I hated that she did that. I thought it lost to eternity then. I'm glad u have posted it. This needs to live on. If I get famous someday I'm gonna do a commentary video people can watch with this. That way more people can see this masterpiece. I love how multiple companies came together to learn new craft and combine them. So good!!!

who's the cute girl with the machete?

Thank you!

Oh! Thank you so much for this!

Thank you for uploading this! My mom (an English literature teacher & huge lover of Shakespeare) recorded this for her class on our old Betamax & I nearly wore out the tape watching it so much. I memorized so much of it & that all came back as I watched! One of my all time favorites!

I saw this production at the old Goodman Theater in Chicago many many years ago! I absolutely loved it-laughed all the way through! Best version of Shakespeare ever! Thank you so much for posting 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I saw this live so many years ago-funniest Shakespeare ever 😂

Many thanks for uploading this amazing performance!

Thanks for uploading this! I remember being in a hotel in San Francisco in the mid 1980s and arranging to meet a colleague for dinner, and putting my coat on but the TV was on in my room and as I was about to leave and go down for dinner, I noticed this had just started on one of the local PBS channels, and so I was hooked. I think the version I saw was from the Vivien Beaumont Theatre in NYC. I saw FKB several times when they played in the area (I live in Southern NH, and I saw FKB @ Brandeis, Fitchburg and several other places) - this has to be one of the best versions of Comedy of Errors I have ever seen! Thanks again!

When going to see them live one prepares by finding something around the house you can think of you would like to see them juggle and hope they choose to juggle what you brought.

I seen this live in Seattle. Was it recorded in Seattle? It sure looks like it from veg memory.

Great to see! Even my conversion of my old VHS tape of this became unplayable. Wanted to show to my daughter. I've been in touch with lincoln center & PBS. no one had an available copy

Great video, thanks for posting it! I do wish they'd given the names of the performers from the Vaudeville Nouveau.

Thank you for uploading this! I saw it live when I was a kid and that was my very first introducion to Shakespeare beyond sonnets and quotes. I have been trying to find a DVD or even a vhs copy somewhere to introduce my kids to Shakespeare before the public school system has a chance to screw it up for them, and thanks to you, I did! I am more grateful than I could possibly say!

Thanks for uploading this! It's been too long since my last watch.

So very, very happy to see this here! Thank you!

VHS here too, thanks for the upload!

This whole thing is: how many ways can we distract the audience during exposition dumps? GoT got nothing on them.

Those audience interaction moments were scripted, right?

♡

It's amazing how many people (like me) have old, vhs copies of this on life support. It was played on PBS exactly once. Thank you for keep this gem alive.

Kok gambar nya tidak bergerak harusnya gambarnya bergerak cuma lagu yang ada

I have a much cherished VHS of this from the single time it was broadcast. I'm so happy this treasure has been preserved.

Another thanks for posting this. I had known of it but only thought to look on Yt today. Could not WNET get this out of the vault? It must be archived.

Anyone else here from Upgrade this week?

I love that smoke

Why doesn't it have its water tender?

Thank you... 💜

At least your copy works better than mine! And of course I too contacted the guys at FKB they of course denied this film. Even Lincoln Center claimed to not have this on hardcopy. Glad someone downloaded it! One of my Favorite Shakespeare plays on film!

World champions in commedia del'arte !

Thanks so much - I have this on Beta, and was dreading trying to transfer it!

So wonderful to see this on YT! You're wonderful!

This is the Shakespeare play I grew up watching! This got me through every literature and drama class! it's so wonderful to see it again!

Thank you so much for posting this! I have had this on a VHS tape for 20-odd years but the tape is disintegrating and this is just a great show that still has me howling with laughter when I watch it!

This is wonderful! I worked on the original production and have nothing form it but a few photos!

Let me add my thanks to your for posting this.

Thank you I've been looking for this for years

Not as strong as the first half, but still good!

Thank you - my VHS of this is dying, dying.

Thank you so much! Even the Karamazov Brothers have said they do not have a copy of this!

Thank you!!

Thank you so much. My version of this play is on tape at least as old as I am. Probably older. I've been desperate to find it. Thank you, thank you.

dash berlin's set on moscow set me on fire and made the police show at my door(stupid neighbours)

I noticed that too...

Reddit brought me here

OP delivers!

Is there some weird image stabilization that your phone camera is using?
