These videos show images of both a stage representation of Shakepeare's play (in which the wardrobe and characterization show resemblance to the historical period the author depicted in his work) and a clip of the Royal Shakespeare Company's production from 1976. Curiously enough, this adaptation was also a musical.
Notice that in the second video the setting seems to have shifted from a high class Renassaince family to a modern middle class group of individuals. However, elements of farce such as exaggeration and physical comedy are still there.
