★★★★★ · Donald Madden, The Shakespearean Great no one knows! · Mary Neeley · 2018-10-22

Part two of Shaw VS. Shakespeare is the most interesting of the three due to the riveting performance of Marc Anthony by actor DONALD MADDEN. For those of us too young to have seen that Shakespearean GREAT on stage, this is the ONLY example of his work. It is a rare and ONLY glimpse of his expertise on the stage. The greatest Shakespearean actors are the ones no one remembers. This is the chance to see him and remember!
