Revisiting and reimagining Shakespeare in Shakespeare Lives films - Robert Hill

This session will explore some of the British Council’s stimulating Shakespeare Lives films, which sometimes use the exciting possibilities of cinema to revisit classic scenes from the plays, but more often reimagine plays in intriguing new ways. We will see how a character who Shakespeare didn’t include in The Tempest now takes centre stage, how Lady Macbeth’s soliloquy invoking evil spirits is chillingly realised, how Twelfth Night is revisited in hip-hop form, and how Romeo and Juliet are reimagined on an English beach… as rival ice cream sellers. We will analyse these films, enjoy them, and also suggest how to exploit them with students.
