Uniform Title:
Play on! - Shakespeare in silent film
Content:
From "King John" in 1899, film adaptations of Shakespeare's plays proved popular with early filmmakers and audiences. By the end of the silent era, around 300 films had been produced. This feature-length celebration draws together a delightful selection of thrilling, dramatic, iconic and humorous scenes from two dozen different titles, many of which have been unseen for decades. See Hamlet addressing Yorick's skull, King Lear battling a raging storm at Stonehenge, "The Merchant of Venice" in vibrant stencil colour, the fairy magic of "A Midsummer Night’s Dream", and what was probably John Gielgud's first appearance on film, in the balcony scene from "Romeo and Juliet". These treasures from the BFI National Archive have been newly digitised and are brought to life by the composers and musicians of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre. [bfi.org.uk]
