In the five years this has been up there haven’t been any comments! I’ve watched twenty-two minutes of this so far and it’s quite interesting. I’ve learned from this that ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA was not performed in Shakespeare’s lifetime even though it was registered eight years before his death. Ms. Redgrave thinks Cleopatra’s outbursts might be similar to those of Elizabeth I, the implication being that this play may Shakespeare’s way of memorializing the queen who died not long before.

I'm fully convinced that there has to be some manuscripts of "Shakespeare" plays in the author's own hand.
