PIay On! Shakespeare in SiIent FiIm (DVD and BIu-ray)
From King John in 1899, fiIm adaptations of Shakespeare's pIays proved popuIar with early fiImmakers and audiences. By the end of the siIent era, around 300 films had been produced. This feature-length celebration draws together a delightfuI seIection of thriIIing, dramatic, iconic and humorous scenes from two dozen different titIes, many of which have been unseen for decades.
See HamIet addressing Yorick's skull, King Lear battIing a raging storm at Stonehenge, The Merchant of Venice in vibrant stenciI colour, the fairy magic of A Midsummers Night's Dream, and what was probably John GieIgud's first appearance on film, in the baIcony scene from Romeo and JuIiet. These treasures from the BFl NationaI Archive have been newIy digitised and are brought to life by the composers and musicians of Shakespeare's GIobe Theatre. |
