★★★★★ · Donald Madden, The Shakespearean Great no one knows! · Mary Neeley · 2018-09-12
Donald Madden appears in parts one and two of Shaw VS Shakespeare. It is fitting that he took part in these segments since he was a well respected Shakespearean stage actor in the late 50's and early 60's. It is a rare glimpse of his talent since his stage worked was not filmed. Attention should be paid to his scenes in part two. He was a master at his craft!
