Shakespeare: Origins - DVD

Our Price: $19.99

Origins and Style is an introduction to understanding and appreciating Shakespeare. After exploring Shakespeare's life and times, this DVD contains sections on understanding Shakespeare's poetry and the elements of Elizabethan drama. Also, by evaluating the tragic figure that is Sophocles' Oedipus Rex, the Standard Deviants help viewers understand exactly what a tragedy is. Finally, this DVD offers a brief overview of Shakespeare's development as a tragedian.

Shakespeare: Othello - DVD

Our Price: $19.99

This DVD examines three plays that reveal Shakespeare at his height as a writer of tragedies. This trio of tragedies contains Shakespeare's variations on the tragic figure: A man destroyed by jealousy (Othello), a man destroyed by ambition (Macbeth), and a man destroyed by hubris and ultimately redeemed by love (King Lear). The Standard Deviants take the "mystery" out of these difficult plays, making them easier to understand and appreciate.

Shakespeare:Titus - DVD

Our Price: $19.99

This DVD examines three of Shakespeare's tragedies: his first, his most beloved, and his most famous. The Standard Deviants explore Titus Andronicus, Shakespeare's first tragedy - a flawed, but promising play - to highlight what makes a great tragedy, and to reveal that even Shakespeare had to learn his craft. Additionally, the program provides insight into understanding the poetry, characters, and plot of Romeo and Juliet. Finally, the program provides easy-to-understand approaches to Shakespeare's best-known and perhaps most complex work, Hamlet.

There is no question that Shakespeare was one of the greatest writers in human history. His works are filled with love, action, revenge - all the makings of a top-grossing movie. However, Shakespeare's use of language often makes it difficult to follow his plays. This series explains the origins of his style and breaks down the some of his best-known plays with simple synopses and character analyses. The Shakespeare Tragedies DVD 3-Pack contains all three Shakespeare Tragedies DVDs (Origins and Style, Othello/Macbeth/King Lear, Titus Andronicus/Romeo & Juliet/Hamlet) at a discounted price.
