A film is not necessarily better than a stage production, but rather a different kind of experience with the same story material.Įngland's Kenneth Branagh is extensively trained and experienced in the production and performance of Shakespeare's plays on the British stage. Live theater has a special power to excite, inspire, and involve the playgoer with the action and characters on the stage.Ī well-produced, well-directed, and well-cast film may accomplish most of what occurs in a theater, with the added advantages of close-ups, speech amplification, greater variety and realism of settings, and special effects not possible on the stage. If the viewer doesn't understand every word or line, the action or expression often conveys the meaning. For example, the playgoer sees real people with their individual expressions and mannerisms, and in costumes and settings intended to highlight their actions. Watching a good performance of a play brings much to its audience that cannot be experienced by reading the play.
