Shakespeare Republic

It is rare that something comes along from the Shakespeare realm on screen and makes his work feel fresh and totally alive, and yet still deeply rooted in his original worlds. This series is such a thing. Truly beautiful vignettes celebrating all the complicated, joyful and tragic elements of being human, featuring some brilliant actors with a deft hand directing, set in our modern world, while still using the original words of the Bard to their utmost effect. A must watch.
