A Midsummer Night’s Dream - Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre On Screen

This production of the very popular Shakespeare play about young lovers, accident-prone workmen, and two royal courts – those of Duke Theseus, and King Oberon & Queen Titania – “is touching and joyously inventive. Dominic Dromgoole’s lively, affectionate and consistently inventive staging beautifully captures both the humor and the disconcerting strangeness of the play. …A joyously inventive and touching production of The Dream, a work that seems particularly close to Shakespeare’s heart.” (The Telegraph). A Midsummer Night’s Dream was captured in High Definition and surround sound at the Globe Theatre’s faithful reconstruction on the banks of the Thames, which has been called “a theatrical heaven” by the Sunday Express. 172 minutes, Catalog number: D5001, UPC: 032031500198, $29.99 srp, two-DVD set.

The Tempest - Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre On Screen

Roger Allam – “this most versatile and humane of actors…in fine form here” – delivers a magnificent performance as Prospero in this production captured in High Definition and surround sound at the faithful reconstruction of the original Globe Theatre on the banks of the Thames (which has been called “a theatrical heaven” by the Sunday Express). Probably the last play that Shakespeare wrote alone, The Tempest is set on a remote island where Prospero, the rightful Duke of Milan, plots to restore his daughter Miranda to her rightful place using skillful manipulation and a conjured-up storm. This delightful production “memorably captures the humor, the enchantment and the tantalizing sense of mystery of Shakespeare’s last masterpiece.” (The Telegraph). Also starring Jason Baugham, Jesse Buckley, Sam Cox, and Pip Donaghy. 162 minutes, Catalog number: D4999, UPC: 032031499997, $29.99 srp, two-DVD set.
