| Summary |
This production is part of a famous series produced by BBC of all of William Shakespeare's plays. The resulting films, renowned for their loyalty to the text, utilized the best theatrical and television directors and brought highly praised performances from leading contemporary actors.. This play is a splendid satire, with some of Shakespeare's best early poetry with masterly scenes and excellent characterizations.. The play tells how the King of Navarre and three of his lords vow to spend three years in study and not see any women. But when the Princess of France arrives on a diplomatic mission with her three ladies, the men fall in love with them. The news comes of the death of the King of France and the ladies depart, refusing to marry until their suitors undergo a year's probation - hence the play's title. |
