Nice! I'm not familiar at all with the BBC version. I have seen Branagh's, also not since high school. I have never seen a staged version, although I keep hoping: I've been disappointed in the wake of two very different productions of Henry IV.
Aw, I hope you get there sometime! I haven't seen much Shakespeare on stage, but that was a college A-Level trip & we also saw a local group do a version of Twelfth Night, our other Shakespeare play for the course. (My sister and I once almost went to see Cymbeline when I visited her in LOndon, but for whatever reason, we didn't or couldn't. I realised about 10 years later it was this one: https://www.britishtheatreguide.info/reviews/CBJcymbeline-rev XD Ah well. lol.)
[edit] "It is the best horse of Europe."
Not even Julian Glover does it better! ♥ (It has been so many years, though! I just remember getting ridiculously attached to him alone in the production.)
See, that one I loved just for John Hurt as the Fool.
Yes, he was very good too! It was a good cast all round, but he disappeared off screen earlier and I forget so soon. lol.
I imprinted from that production on David Suchet's Salieri; years later I discovered that its Mozart had been Michael Sheen.
OMG. Well, that was a cast indeed. And, I mean, being take up by David Suchet instead is perfectly understandable. Who wouldn't be? ;-)
