The Shakespeare Conspiracy
Who was the man who wrote these plays and poems? Was the author a grain-dealer named William Shakespeare born in Stratford-upon-Avon or Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford? Why was there a 400 year-old conspiracy to hide the true author? This video provides a stimulating and controversial point of view that is bound to provoke classroom discussion and independent study of the Authorship issue. Drawing on original 16th century documents and the Oxford Bible, this film makes a full investigation into the lives of both men.

Shakespeare's Globe Theatre - Restored
Almost four centuries after Shakespeare's original Globe Theatre commenced performances in 1599, Queen Elizabeth II officially opened the reconstructed Elizabethan Theatre in June 1997. To celebrate Shakespeare's work and to recreate performances with the original setting and effects for which Shakespeare wrote his greatest plays, the rebuilt and fully operational Globe provides a venue for teaching and studying. This video documents eighteen months of planning, rehearsal, location work and post-production by the Shakespeare Program of the University of California at Berkeley, culminating in this historically significant production of "Much Ado About Nothing." According to Hugh Richmond, Educational Director of the Shakespeare Globe Center, USA and Professor of English at the University of California at Berkeley, "This video showcases some of the ways in which performance on the original Shakespearean stage diverges from modern practice. The broad stage, pillars and accessibility of the audience require a dynamic choreography and outgoing style providing a fresh model for modern theater." Available with teachers guide.
