The first part is a revisiting of favourites drawn from the past first three series of ‘Shakespeare on Film’ . A chance for folks who may have missed them (or indeed been too young) to see these classics.
The second part is a small collection of new films; the latest less than a year old, and three of them never before seen on the screen. They feature a couple of very amazing traditional interpretations and a couple of equally excellent transformations.
Once again both parts showing us the almost inexhaustible breadth of creative possibilities Shakespeare offers us which, once again, reestablishes the genius and timelessness of the world’s greatest playwright.
