★★★★ · Donald Madden, The Shakespearean Great no one knows! · Mary Neeley · 2018-10-22
This first part of this three part series is interesting to watch, especially due to The Shakespearean GREAT, actor DONALD MADDEN. Although his part of Marc Anthony is small (his role is expanded in part two), you get a glimpse of his talent and his experience with the genre. Enjoy it all, but remember Mr. Madden!
