- Documentary on the 1981 New York Shakespeare In The Park's production of The Taming of The Shrew. Starring Meryl Streep and Raul Julia.
Don't forget Part 2 here:
• Kiss Me, Petruchio, Pa...
Two giants on the stage giving an acting lesson for the new generation that like the challenges and are willing to pay the price to reach that level of professionalism.
I loved Raul Julia. He was my favorite stage actor and I saw him on Broadway many times. I cried when he passed. Taken far, far too soon.
BEST PETRUCHIO EVER!!! Such chemistry between these two....
Actually Peter O' Toole was the best Petruchio ever...
He's a pretty good #Caliban too.
I'm still partial to Marc Singer.
@@effyiew7318 me too, it was a performance of fast whit and agile acrobatics and very very fysical.
These two command the stage on their own, and are amazing together! The bit where she spits on him and he licks it up is hilarious. I love how this is shown where the actors talk about the characters in between scenes.
I was there... great memoirs. Raul is an amazing performer. lives for ever, Patriota
You were VERY lucky!
Indeed I was.
His british is really good...BUT THAT NATURAL PUERTO RICAN ACCENT MAKES IT BETTER!
I don't remember what the line was in Shrew, but I remember a plane going over, and drowning out the actors , so Raul Julia paused in middle of his speech for the plane to leave, and then responding to the plane, the most perfect line from Shakespeare came out. It was like it was plannd like that,although it wasn't
Ugh I love this footage I return to it every so often. Julia and Streep man, they're both just so good! And gosh Meryl is so beautiful!
Also can we talk about how impressive that pull up is?
God bless Raúl Juliá. He left us 25 years ago.
Raul Julia and Meryl Streep are such an inspiration!!!!
Amazing actors julia streep. Its to bad they did not 🌟 in a 🎥 together..
I saw this documentary on PBS way back when I was in high school and have been talking about it since, and searching for it on the Internet from the moment I discovered You Tube. For me, this the broadest, funniest, sexiest performance of this play and the only one that makes any sense. Streep and Julia are just brilliant in it. Thank you, thank you for posting it.
This is great, but you should also check out "Commedia! Taming of the Shrew", the American Conservatory Theater performance from 1976. It's on RUclips. My students love it. I show these two performances and Liz Taylor's to show how differently the play can be staged.
This couple is pure fire, absolutely great both
I wish the movie displayed the play like this. You see the chemistry and how each force meet with each other, while the movie displays it as an act of force and terror.
I just learnt this duologue with my friend in my acting classes! We always had a giggle at "super dainty Kate"! It's incredible to see Meryl do it!!
Raul Julia, absolute magic.
QUEEN MERYL!!!! AHHH
How wonderful to see Raul Julia again. What a wonderful, sexy pair he & Streep make as Petruccio & Kate!!!
Saw this pr this production in college. BEST production of Taming of the Shrew I've ever seen. I really wish it could be put on DVD or digitally somehow! It's absolutely amazing! It gives a whole new meaning to, "Being seen and not read."
OMG RAUL JULIA!! MY GOMEZZZ!!!
I remember seeing that production. It was '78 or '79 (late 70's..can't remember exact yr).
Streep was just starting to get known. I vividly remember reading the program and her bio saying Streep will be in the soon to be released 'Deer Hunter'
1978 -- it was between 7th and 8th grades for me and I was madly in love with Raul Julia. I had already seen Meryl Streep in Measure for Measure in the park. That was when I discovered I needed glasses.
Production was in 81
@@sarita423 sorry, I didn't get the bit about the glasses :P Could you explain?
@@Meme-go9ts I couldn't see Raul Julia clearly. Everything was blurry. I was myopic and had to get eyeglasses.
@@sarita423 oh, sorry to hear that! I'd thought maybe you were referencing sth else. Thanks for replying! It must've been amazing to even hear their performances at the park
She actually spit in his mouth tho and he owned it🤣 god I love Raul so much
Oh that was the funniest bit of this whole play.
To be fair. I can't think of too many men that would have minded much.
I've watched this over and over. Absolutely brilliant.
My Puerto Rican Blood boils with pride.
The beautiful and talented Meryl. I love her x
God bless RUclips. Who on Earth even knew this documentary existed?
The commentary between the scenes is very much in the spirit of what is to read or watch Shakespeare with a group
Finding this is the greatest Xmas Gift EVER! Ever since I saw it in Europe on TV in the early 1980s I've been searching for it everywhere! Thank heavens for the internet, thank you for posting it on RUclips. This is not only a fantastic performance by Raoul Julia and Meryl Streep but also an incredibly passionate lesson in acting - every second of it a joy to see! I cannot imagine a better suited couple for this play...
I saw this on BBC2 in the early 80s and was overjoyed to accidentally discover it. Merry Christmas!
@@kenthornton5435 You have no idea how glad I am that you did! A happy New Year to you!
thanks to american masters, that i found this video. i saw it on the docummentary about julia this past friday on pbs. from puerto rico to the world!
I enjoy watching professionals giving new meanings to words just by how they're spoken. Great performances by both Meryl and Raul. I've seen many adaptations of Taming of the Shrew, some done by changing the time period to the wild west, 1930's Chicago, or even gender swapping the roles. Though the adaptations may be well acted, it's nice to see the play done in a more traditional way, showing that Shakespeare can still entertain us without resorting to gimmicks.
WHAT!?!?!?! i have been looking for this forever!!!!!
Oh my God,this shows how talented she is. Oh I love her
Te amo Raúl...
Raul Julia sure could command the screen. You only pay attention to him
Exactly!😊
Such passion, such power, performances that we did not deserve. To Meryl & Raul....................... it was Tuesday 😎
okay but am i the only one that finds it funny or kinda cute that this big bad kate is so ticklish? like she trashes a grave, smacks her sister around, threatens her father with revenge for not hearing her explaination for a violent outburst, puts up this whole big fight, trash talking and all but then shes, in complete truth, so easily taken down? no better a person to portray this juxtaposition than meryl streep.
wow that was amazing meryl streep was like wow
Thank you for making this video available. I applaud your efforts as I stomp my feet at the onstage antics. ( As is required in any good afternoon at the theatre.) At first watching I am reminded that Shakespeare is made alive again and again by fine actors of such high standards. Who would have thought to put Raul and Meryl together, what style, what flair> Kiss me here.
I’m so happy! I’ve been looking for this for so many years! I talked about it all the time and I was just 14. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for posting!
Looking for this documentary for ages. THANK YOU!
At 19:00 you can almost feel the passion and intensity.
I have been looking for this for ages. I saw it when it first aired, and have wanted to see it, again, for ages. Thank you!
Raul Julia; dearly loved, deeply mourned. A giant talent, great humanitarian and dear God; how handsome he was! ❤💔🌹
Ken Thornton. Thank you so much for posting this. It's impossible to find elsewhere.
Meryl is gourgous!
Quando vejo a Meryl em cena eu perco o ar.
QUE MULHER FODA!!! 💣
Such amazing performances holy shit
I really enjoyed watching this video, it brought a smile to my face, thanks for uploading it.
Omg! This is... This is hot! They both realize immediately they’ve met their match. 🥵
14:40 - they meet
15:20- come sit on me
16:15 - yours
17:30- had I a glass I would
17:47- he grabs her
18:02-19:33 - I don’t know how we were allowed to watch this in English class
21:12 she charges at him
I recognize one of the supporting actresses! It's the one who plays Amy Schumer's mother in the Computer Therapy sketch! I love when I accidentally connect two distant things.
I know, that is a Eureka moment. Also, makes one feel comfortable that memory is not failing yet, lol.
A few years before the American Conservatory Theater did this in 1976 with Marc Singer in complete Commedia del Arte style and it looked much stronger then this tradional performace by two excelent actors.
Saw the Marc Singer version in high school in ‘76. Have been searching for it since
The Great Raul Julia-gone way too soon
Meryl-still uses some of those same "mannerisms" today. Studied acting at Yale Drama School
I saw an interview of Raul Julia, and he talked about Meryl Streep spitting on him, and he said, "How could Meryl spit on me? But then I thought about how Petruchio would react to it?" Julia was channeling something very true about Petruchio: he is a gentleman as he says he is. How many men would have the strength to let a woman spit on him without losing his shit? But to let a woman spit on him and lick it off as if it were nothing, just taking it as a wound of love, is to become the definition of a man. How many more men would become small and bristly? "That I'll try," she says, seeing if he is a gentleman, and for the whole play he doesn't lose his shit and proves to her that he is indeed so. That's what's happening underneath.
I'm writing a paper about the Taming of the Shrew for my English class and I'm analyzing different adaptations of it. Do you possibly remember what interview this was and where I can find it so I could use it as a source? It's okay if you can't, I'm just wondering!
@@roseglas1137 I think it was in a PBS documentary. Maybe American Masters.
Streep Julia 🎥 would of been a Hit
Raul Julia the impossible dream
Raul Julia is not appreciated as he should be and never really got the roles that would have shown his talent. Gone too soon 😔🙏🏼
Thank you for posting!!! Fabulous
Minute 23:40 Hahahaha
I love you Raúl Juliá!!
I've come to wive it wealthily in Padua.
Sure I watched this production during the release of KvK and wanted to see what the hype was with Meryl.On British TV . Would love to see it again as with a previous post it's something that stays with you as magical and takes you to a different level.My first and only taste of Shakespeare.🙂🙂
this is such a gift!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR POSTING!!!!! It's great to finally see the whole documentary!
Raul played the most difficult and intense characters from the British literature.He was good in plays and movies. Raúl did a great job with the British accent. Would it be good that Meryl and Julia made a movie together. Good character actors are make in the theater.
"Happily to wive and thrive"...LOL!
Raul Julia 💙
Gaahh. What a man. 😜😍
thank you for sharing! this is amazing
Thank you so much for this!
Meryl: This is a society that constricts her.
Costumer: (tightens corset) mm-hmm.
9:33
Raw Machismo. I swoon!
Damn Meryl streep was a fox
i wanted to tsee their performance on stage
I'm here because of a class assignment, and the only thing that stuck out to me was the scratchy music from a dark abyss playing in the background.
this is awesome
A master class
this is amazing
Vim aqui pela reestreia de o cravo e a rosa em 2021
outstanding
Amazing
Awesome
I believe it was 1978 and not 1981.
Amy dawson needs to loose that Best Supporting Oscar asap
I'd love to help you add better captions to this video. Let me know if you are interested!
It never occurred to me to turn on captions so, yes, please.
The Kabala as our three forms of consciousness - culture is Ka - traditions are Ba and those who use it to suppress others, don't understand one bit of what we can accomplish WITHOUT CONFLICTS ... what is that with being IN THE WRONG BODY, your body is your La, your linear life and sometimes you lose and other times you win, but it always feels like being an actor, playing Shakespeare, isn't it? Life can be a drama, but your body can bring you in the gardens of Eden, and playing with that duality is being the sublime artist - the one who can read between the lines, mocking with the blind King, who wants to be 'entertained' to prove he exists ... the other part of history ... Besides this, I think that Shakespeare's plays were meant to be performed in this way ... and really, waiting for a free ticket is part of the program ... Katherina and Petruchio - it could have been MY STORY!
ahahaa this makes me sad...
me to
14:51 the everything
do all musical performances get recorded? i wish to see some of richard burton's
13:30-18:05 audition cut (personal reference)
Does anyone know the name of that blinky background music?? Much appreciated!
They don't make em like that anymore
14:50 haha
Summer of 1978 not 1981.
It aired in 1981, so they list the production of the documentary as 1981, but it was taped regarding their live performance of 1978. Mi research, mi become victorious.
Streep does not look like 30 in this. wow.
@9:59 Madeline Kahn?
No, it was Deborah Rush as "BIANCA"
by hell VHS did not do sound well
8:27
25:48
That wig looks horrible on her. They should have let her wear her real hair.
Not the long hair but the way the top of it looks, it's not flattering, it ages her.
🐑🐑
Give me the Burton/Taylor ANY DAY!!!! Zero sexual energy with Streep/Julia
Im looking for stephen tonkinson in taming oftheshrew
I disagree. There is one exchange between them during the initial meeting in which the sexual chemistry is intense.
