minus-squarecakeistheanswer@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·7 months agoIs that the RSC stage production with ian McKellen? I’m a sucker for that and the terribly cast Welles versions, but Scotland PA was my favorite at the time. I guess I’m dating myself, but I did a term paper on production comparison and it had just come out. I guess it’s been long enough for another pass.
minus-squareMadbrad200OPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·7 months agoYep! It’s pretty high rated I think but I didn’t enjoy it as much as I thought I would, it does have some good moments though. I think the best filmed-theatre version is the Saoirse Ronan one. Scotland PA was definitely a highlight :)
