Summary

Julius Caesar : In ancient Rome, leading citizens, Cassius and Marcus Brutus, are alarmed at the power and authority Caesar is assuming. Shakespeare's greatest Roman tragedy breaks all conventional rules of drama, creating neither a clear-cut hero nor a villain.Measure for measure : "Shakespeare's 'dark' comedy weaves between the moral posts of lust, mercy and justice."--Container.Henry VIII : "Henry is a proud monarch who flies in the face of the Church in seeking to divorce Queen Katherine and marry Anne Bullen. As Cardinal Wolsey, the powerful Lord Chancellor of England, attempts to bend Rome to the King's wishes, the court reverberates with political intrigue and accusations of treachery. The verbal jousting Timothy West and Claire Bloom (as Cardinal Wosley and Katherine of Aragon) illuminates this production ... it was cited by the Shakespeare Association of America as the best of the BBC series."
