A Taste of Shakespeare
A Taste of Shakespeare is a series of film guides to the Shakespeare plays most frequently taught in high school and college. In each film, actors tell the story of a specific play, act key scenes and, in asides to the camera, explain and comment on the attitudes and relationships of the main characters. It's a unique approach that enables students to connect to the people in Shakespeare's plays, and dissolves difficulties with the language. It lays the groundwork for a discussion of the many issues that still play an important part in students' lives today.
The film are intended as an introduction to the high school or college Shakespeare unit, but will serve anyone interested in studying these Shakespeare plays equally well.
