Imagine watching Meryl Streep and Raúl Juliá perform in The Taming of the Shrew for free. It’s the kind of thing that makes me wish I’d been alive at that time

Raul and Meryl are both ethereal. Meryl explaining love and Raul explaining his definition of Shakespeare shows how great actors they are. Both of them in this play is a genius move by Joseph Papp.

Meryl looks stunning and Raul is gorgeous. They make Shakespeare make sense.

Meryl Streep and Raul Julia were so great, they are amazing together! Also, they explained their character so well in each scene.
