The New York Times has deemed this extraordinary collection to be "the crown jewel of public and network television."

In 1972, twenty million people saw the broadcast of this CBS-TV production of Shakespeare's classic tale of romance, mistaken identity, and the battle of the sexes. Though this turn-of-the-century version has Roosevelt's Rough-Riders and bicycle-riding suffragettes, the story is the same: Beatrice and Benedick fight their merry war of words; the evil Don Juan conspires to disrupt the wedding of Hero and Claudio; and it's up to Dogbery to save the day.

Critically acclaimed and loved by audiences, this rollicking comedy is brassy, bouncy, and all-together entertaining. First presented at the New York Shakespeare Festival, this production later became the first truly successful Shakespeare play in Broadway history that did not boast a major star. Features Oscar-nominee Sam Waterston (Law & Order) as Benedick and the Tony-nominated performances of Emmy-winners Kathleen Widdoes (As The World Turns) and Barnard Hughes (Midnight Cowboy).
