A film that will include Shakespeare scenes directed and performed by the British Shakespeare Company is causing great debate in the academic community. As shown in today’s Guardian where world renown Shakespearian scholar Stanley Wells whom is appearing in the film has written an article. Why may you ask is the British Shakespeare Company working on a film that puts forward another author of the plays? The reason is two fold. We believe that this film and debate will bring Shakespeare’s plays to a much wider audience. Also it will include 28 scenes from Shakespeare’s plays many of which have only been seen on film in the BBC complete works. Directing such scenes with such a fantastic film company is too good an opportunity to miss.
