I was just thinking “What a waste of good actors!” when I saw the headline.
Patrick Stewart has done “King Lear” for TV. I’ve been meaning to look for it at the library.

I haven't seen his Lear. He was good as Claudius in the BBC version of Hamlet. And he was great as Leontes in The Winter's Tale.

In high school, I had a teacher who loved Godot. She wanted to show specific parts of it to us, on a video tape of a version with Zero Mostel. It was Impossible. The play confounds rewinding and fastforwarding. Because it's basicly two guys standing around rambling. You can fastforward or rewind, but it's hard to figure out where in the play you gotten to.
