I teach GCSE drama in a rough Saff London Comp and get the students hooked with Baz Lurhrmann's modern version of it and then to teach them more of what Shakespeare had in mind when he wrote the play, I show them this one by Zeffirelli - it works a treat. It is beautifully done, universal in its themes and appeal and the acting is rivitingly good - especially the very young and beautiful Olivia Hussy, though Michael York as a petulant Tybalt is equally good.

The conquest of the Inca Empire is a powerful and dreadful story. Indeed the stuff for a monumentam movie. The 1964 play by Peter Shaffer has been turned into a movie in 1969; Christopher Plummer who had played Pizzarro in the Broadway theater production stars as Atahualpa, the Inca God-King.

The story told does not give one a new inside ... Read More:

The top honors go though undoubtedly to Christopher Plummer and his arrestingly magnificent portrayal of Atahualpa (incidentally, Plummer had played Pizarro in the Broadway version of the play, to much acclaim). He is in turn, and many times all at once, supremely royal, ... Read More:
