This is a pretty darn good version though, bringing it into a modern setting of European austerity and civil unrest. Ralph Fiennes does director/producer/actor duties and gives a powerhouse performance as man who has too much integrity to be likeable. He's a brilliant soldier but catastrophic as a politician. Vanessa Redgrave is riveting as his strong-willed, ambitious mother. Show less

I like it because it is different - part history, part comedy and part tragedy. If you want to try something that isn't easy to pigeonhole this play is well worth a look. The text will also be available in collected works and online. Show less

I didn't think I could love any film version better than Kenneth Brannagh's but this sassy, funny update is a treat. Nathan Fillion's turn as Dogberry is comedy gold. Show less
