Shakespeare at the BBC: Comedies DVD Collection - Classic British TV Adaptations of Shakespeare's Plays | Perfect for Literature Lovers, Drama Students & Theater Enthusiasts

WARNING! This is a PAL format, meaning it will NOT play on virtually all DVD players designed for North American use. I've been told that newer DVD players can play PAL if 'a number is keyed in', but I won't trust that advice until I find someone who's tried it. Sylvania (of all companies!) makes a DVD player which can play PAL format and I've just purchased one from London Drugs. How good it is for $35.00 remains to be seen, as I haven't tried playing these yet. The performances are the epitome of the thespian's craft, with casts which include some of the finest and most venerable names in British theatre.
