Summary: How things change?
Review: At school I hated Shakespeare, I hated the person who 'taught' it to me and I wasn't all that fond of some of my classmates. Which is a shame because I now love Shakespeare, I think it is something you grow into and begin to appreciate later on. However, many people are put off by school-time study of Shakespeare and as such miss out on something very special.This DVD does a great job in reducing that. I wish I had this when I was in school. Great watch, very interesting approach. Something for everybody.

Summary: Deviants Do Shakespeare... To buy or not to buy.
Review: First, let me say that I am a fan of the Standard Deviants and especially their teaching style. I am also a fan of William Shakespeare and I was really happy with the Standard Deviants Shakespeare related "Origins & Style" production. However, the style does not hold up well as they examine the three tragedies up close an dpersonal. Many of their observations are valid but, scattered throughout this episode we see deviant performers attempting Shakespeare. My hats off to them for trying but, their inability to master the speech mars the message they are trying to put across and thus the entire episode. This should only be used for a cursory overview or maybe a refresher.

Summary: Great Deviant view on Shakespeare
Review: I really enjoyed this take on Shakespeare, mainly because it breaks down these plays in ways that help you gain an understanding and appreciation of just how good the Bard's work was. I would highly recommend them to anyone studying the plays or just a casual fan. Fun, fun style and good looking and funny actors.
