This 4 DVD box set contains live recordings of the Globe Theatre productions of Love's Labour's Lost (2009), As You Like It (2009) and Romeo & Juliet (2009).
Love's Labour's Lost: Shakespeare's most intellectual comedy sees the King of Navarre and his three courtiers forswear all pleasure - particularly of the female variety - in favour of a life of study and quiet contemplation, but the arrival of the Princess of France and her ladies plays havoc with their worthy intentions.
As You Like It: One of Shakespeare's best loved romantic comedies, As You Like It, stars Naomi Frederick, Jack Laskey and Laura Rogers. This irresistible new production stirs wit, sentiment, intrigue and love into a charming confection which challenges the traditional rules of romance. At its heart, a feisty but feminine Rosalind, in love with the endearingly naïve Orlando, uses her disguise as Ganymede to counsel him playfully in the art of wooing. Distraction is provided by Dominic Rowan, a remarkably funny Touchstone, and Tim McMullan, whose sonorous tones are perfectly suited to the lugubrious wit of Jacques.
Stage production directed by Thea Sharrock, designed by Dick Bird and composed by Stephen Warbeck.
Romeo & Juliet: The Globe Theatre's production of Shakespeare's heartbreaking love story stars Adetomiwa Edun, Ellie Kendrick and Philip Cumbus. Dominic Dromgooles production brings refreshing clarity to one of Shakespeares most famous and best-loved tragedies, drawing out the contemporary relevance of this passionate teenage love story. Ellie Kendrick, a truly youthful Juliet, and Adetomiwa Edun, a boyish Romeo, head an excellent cast whose period costumes point to the timelessness of parental disapproval, adolescent temperament, rivalry and violence. Filmed before a live audience at Shakespeares Globe in the heart of London, its intimate and atmospheric setting adds immediacy and vitality to the humour and passion of Shakespeares verse.
Stage production directed by Dominic Dromgoole, designed by Simon Daw and with music composed by Nigel Hess.
This 4 disc DVD box set is newly released for just £39.99 inc P&P saving £10.
