    Good Historical Programme

    Excellent version of Richard III but a below par Tempest. This DVD is an excellent way to get started with Shakespeare, especially at A-Level.

    not sure it's for children

    My children are great readers and have enjoyed other Shakespeare's adaptations but the problem with this movie is that, apparently, it's too sad. They saw Romeo and Juliet and did not want to continuewith the rest of the dvd.
