The BBC Shakespeare Plays
MLNC, in partnership with Ambrose
Video Publishing, is very pleased to offer online access to the BBC
Shakespeare Plays.
Shakespeare is rightly called the world's greatest playwright for the
soaring beauty of his language, for his profound insight into human
nature, for the truths he dramatized and for the realism of the
characters he created. He was, and remains, a superb entertainer.
Featuring some of Britain's most distinguished theatrical talents, these
streaming videos are an ideal choice for libraries, literature classes,
and for continuing personal enjoyment. Ambrose Video is the exclusive
distributor of Shakespeare's plays which are so richly rewarding to
viewers. Great care has been taken to restore the masters (which are
over 20 years old) for the best viewing experience possible.
