Wow, this has become my most popular video yet, thank you everyone!

@dczzzz55 10 месяцев назад

This is probably the closest I've ever seen Shakepeare performed as it would have been done in his day with loads of heckling and banter which would have been especially appropriate for this comedy play within a play.

They told George they could not hear him because he was always considered the quiet one. I loved it when he yelled at the top of his lungs back at the hecklers. LMAO!

The greatest, most advanced, most sensible development here is the use of differently coloured subtitles. It is baffling why this brilliant idea was not widely used on foreign films for English speaking audiences. As for the programme itself - compared to this the Magical Mystery Tour does not look bizarre at all!

@terri2494 10 месяцев назад

I’ve never heard of this! It brings back memories of friends of mine in grad school performing in this play. This scene was particularly funny and I laughed until I couldn’t breathe. I think my sides hurt the next day. I love the way the Beatles were game for this play within a play. They played it pretty much as Shakespeare intended and had a great time doing so. I was two at the time so it was one more moment of their fun side that I’m now catching up on, thanks to the internet.

@blu3collar949 10 месяцев назад

For those who kept saying Paul's eyes were brown and later became green (after the so called death of Paul in 1966) John clearly mentions his eye color as "green as leeks". That rests that old "Paul is dead" theory.

@A1-Pacific_Sketcher 10 месяцев назад

Yeah, and the fact Paul's voice sounds so similar to the way Paul's voice still sounds now, proves those "theories" wrong.

Shakespeare's characters weren't skilled actors, & he writes the audience as ridiculing them the whole time. IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE EXACTLY THIS HORRIBLE

@mrs.g.9816 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for the upload! I haven't seen this since I watched it on TV when I was an 8 year old. I laughed at it all - including the heckling. This got me interested in reading "A Midsummer Night's Dream". I had a little trouble with Shakespearean English, but a teacher helped me out with it, and pointed out the "play within a play", which the Beatles performed so hilariously! To this day, A Midsummer Night's Dream is my favorite Shakespeare play.

@marcelyanez9045 25 дней назад

Not sure, I believe the Anthology's focus was more on important and crucial parts of the Beatles' history, and this Skit probably wasn't part of that list.

I think I remember seeing this when broadcast on TV. Was it the same show when Peter Sellers performed Help as a Shakespearian actor?

@davidhamm7909 10 месяцев назад

Probably not as this was 1964 and Help didn’t come out until 1965. Sellers did do A Hard Day’s Night though a la Shakespeare so it might have been this.

@cesarmadero05 9 месяцев назад

This is "Around The Beatles". Sellers performed "A Hard Day's Night" as a Shakespearian poet on "The Music of Lennon and McCartney"

A "colourised" version of the opening minutes from their 1964 TV special "Around The Beatles", which also featured Cilla Black, Long John Baldry, the Vernons Girls, Millie, P J Proby and Sounds Incorporated. The complete (black and white and unsubtitled) show is also available to view on RU-vid. (at ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cHZ_6YKG0pA.html )

@papercup2517 9 месяцев назад

Thanks... Long John Baldry also of course being one of the guys on the balcony playing the part of 'audience members' rudely heckling the actors, in true original Shakespearean era style. {He's the tall fair haired one on the left, for anyone unfamiliar.)
