Twelfth Night - Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre On Screen

This all-male cast performance at the faithful reconstruction of the famous Globe Theatre (originally built in 1599) on the banks of the Thames – “a theatrical heaven” (Sunday Express) – features two-time Tony Award winner Mark Rylance playing Olivia and Stephen Fry reprising his superb role as the wretched Malvolio. Spoken in Shakespeare’s English, directed by Tim Carroll and filmed in High Definition and true surround sound, this very popular comedy was wholeheartedly praised by the Sunday Telegraph (“Five stars: A glorious star performance, pure comic delight”) and the Sunday Express (“Five stars: An unbridled pleasure, some of the best comic acting in the world”). 175 minutes, Catalog number: D4996, UPC: 032031499690, $29.99 srp, two-DVD set.

Henry V - Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre On Screen

Cornered by an enormous French army at Agincourt in 1415, Shakespeare’s Henry V delivers a stunning exhortation to his ‘band of brothers’ ; an enduring, inspiring address that is magnificently delivered by Jamie Parker in this stellar performance captured at the faithful reconstruction of the Globe on the banks of the Thames. Parker “casts such a rapt spell that you feel the entire audience would rise up to march behind him” (The Independent) in his dual role as a warrior and a leader with a conscience. Director Dominic Dromgoole puts a poignant focus on the human impact of conflict in this most popular of Shakespeare’s plays. Filmed in High Definition and surround sound. 164 minutes, Catalog number: D4997, UPC: 032031499799, $29.99 srp, two-DVD set.
