Episode 10: Shakespeare Film Adaptions

  • Summary

  • On this episode of Storyweavers, our hosts tackle the bard in modern times—film adaptations of William Shakespeare’s plays. Covering everything from Kenneth Branagh’s and Laurence Olivier’s “Hamlet” to Joel Coen’s and Roman Polanski’s “MacBeth,” the good and the bad, the strong and the weak, are laid bare and shown for what they are.
