Having already brought the Canterbury Tales into the 21st Century, the BBC are now doing the same with Shakespeare. Much Ado About Nothing, Macbeth, The Taming of The Shrew, A Midsummer Night's Dream are being retold in a modern day setting.
As with the Canterbury Tales this series appears to have an interesting cast line-up. Keeley Hawes, Bill Patterson and Billie Piper who featured in the Canterbury Tales series return for the Shakespeare Series. Sarah Parish, Sharon Small, Shirley Henderson and James McEvoy are among many familiar faces featured in the series. [See the websites for more].
I enjoyed the Canterbury Tales series, especially The Man Of Law's Tale. Hopefully we'll see Shakespeare Retold, in Australia next year.
