SHAKESPEARE

Synopsis

The second of two videotapes designed to show how Shakespeare was and is performed in many ways. Presents three extracts from The Tempest - part of the opening storm, the scene in which Ariel taunts the drunken Stephano and Trinculo, and the encounter between Miranda and Ferdinand - played in two contrasting ways in a television studio. Illustrates that meaning depends on spatial relationships between characters, upon the amount of movement introduced, and a decision on which characters have authority.
