Shakespeare in Film Blog Launched
Ennis and I have launched a blog dedicated to the bard, William Shakespeare, and his plays in film. Ennis, my wife, teaches English at secondary school level and over time has used a number of Shakespeare-related films in the classroom. ‘Shakespeare in Film’ will explore the range of DVDs available to teachers. We’ve started with Baz Luhrmann’s 1996 classic, “William Shakespeare’s Romeo+Juliet”. We’ll cover other classics directed by Kenneth Branagh and so on, but also spin-offs such as 10 Things I Hate About You, Shakespeare in Love, West Side Story, and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead.
