The Thames Shakespeare Collection

£22.99

Released: 29th July 2024. This collection features superlative television productions of four of Shakespeare's best-loved plays. Featuring electrifying performances from some of Britain's most accomplished actors and leading RSC players, these productions bring Shakepeare's work vividly and faithfully to life. Macbeth: Ian McKellen and Judi Dench lead the RSC cast in Trevor Nunn's stunning production of Shakespeare's tale of a Scottish general whose hunger for kingship leads to a reign of terror. Romeo & Juliet: Joan Kemp-Welch directs Christoper Neame and Ann Hassonbr/in a BAFTA-nominated adaptation of Shakespeare's tragedy of young lovers destroyed by a feud between two families. Twelfth Night: Richard Briers and Frances Barber lead the Renaissance Theatre Company in this much-loved comedy of mistaken identity and unrequited desire, staged to huge acclaim by Kenneth Branagh. King Lear: Patrick Magee gives a tour de force performance as the elderly king who descends into madness after disposing of his estate between his treacherous daughters Regan and Goneril.
