Summary:
"This BBC collection brings together an ensemble of legendary performances by the incomparable Maggie Smith in timeless works by
William
Shakespeare
, Bernard Shaw, Alan Bennett and Tennessee Williams! Few words can fully describe the dazzling range of Dame Maggie Smith. She is an icon of stage and screen, both large and small, yet she is tantalizingly enigmatic when removed from the limelight that most actors crave. However, all that is required is to view any single performance from her illustrious 50-year career to immediately appreciate the personality and breadth she brings to even the smallest roles. Maggie Smith At The BBC brings to DVD four productions from the BBC archives showcasing the rich and varied talent of this multi-award-winning actress. She appears alongside distinguished co-stars Frank Finlay in
Shakespeare
's The
Merchant
Of
Venice
, Tom Baker in Shaw's The Millionairess, and Natasha Richardson in Suddenly Last Summer by Tennessee Williams, and she performs all alone in Alan Bennett's 50-minute monologue written especially for Dame Maggie, Bed Among The Lentils. With bonus content including a radio play, a newly-recorded tribute from director Richard Eyre and others, and rare interviews from her early career, this is one collection that any film or theater enthusiast cannot afford to miss."--Container.
