Shakespeare
As far as I’m concerned, it’s Shakespeare’s birthday every day. There’s so much Shakespeare available now online from a multiplicity of websites.
Starry casts for Much Ado About Nothing (David Tennant), The Tempest (Simon Russell Beale as Prospero), King Lear (Jonathan Pryce), both Parts of Henry IV (Royal Shakespeare Company) and many more, are all available from just one website which you can check out – digitaltheatre.com. And that’s not counting the many other websites with great productions of Shakespeare plays.
Conveniently, you can either subscribe annually to all Digital Theater’s productions, rent them one at a time, or take a monthly subscription.
This week I want to share the Macbeth that totally upended my understanding of the play.This is Patrick Stewart and Kate Fleetwood’s Tony-nominated stage performances in this gripping adaptation of Macbeth which relocates the bloody action of Shakespeare’s famous play to a nameless 20th-century netherworld.
The post Ruth Leon recommends… Shakespeare for every day appeared first on Slippedisc.
