This is a documentary about Shakespeare's "Richard III". It juxtaposes rehearsals, bull sessions where the actors discuss and interpret the play, locations where events in the story actually took place, scenes from their eventual production of the play, etc. Interviews with British actors are included, and they attempt to explain why American actors have more problems performing Shakespeare than they do. The movie is a great behind-the-scenes look at the production of one of the best plays.
