ShakespeaRe-Told
This autumn across the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ
Μύ
This autumn, the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ brings Shakespeare and

programmes and initiatives across its
services – television, radio, online and interactive.
Μύ
Shakespeare on bbc.co.uk and Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔi

Μύ
Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Interactive Drama and
Entertainment presents a content-rich
website in support of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ
ONE dramas, plus full listings for
Shakespeare programming across all
Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ channels and platforms.
Μύ
In addition, bbc.co.uk/shakespeare
presents a Shakespearean Murder
Mystery interactive web game.
Μύ
It will
take the gore of Shakespeare's
tragedies, the wit of his comedies, and
the tight plotting of all his work, and
place them within a gothic horror
story.
Μύ
A compelling narrative will
engage the player as they explore
Shakespeare's works and life to
unravel and maybe prevent a grisly
series of murders.
Μύ
Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔi - Shakespeare's Stories
Μύ
As a compliment to Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ ONE's four
films, Interactive Drama and
Entertainment's eTV team give
viewers the chance to play with
Shakespeare's language and
deconstruct his texts.
Μύ
When the viewer presses their red
button after each Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ ONE
adaptation, they will be introduced to
the interactive TV experience by
actor David Oyelowo.
Μύ
Here they will have a chance to
view a scene from the drama in the
original text and examine the story
from four different angles:
Μύ
- Like a director's commentary, they
can explore the original language in a
glossary
Μύ
- Go behind the scenes with
interviews with actors, writers and
directors of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ ONE films
Μύ
- looks at the context, theatre history
and Shakespeare's life, including
interviews with Sir Peter Hall and
Michael Wood
Μύ
- explore the themes and moods of
the plays
Μύ
The interactive shows will be
accessible from all digital TV
platforms and also available as a
groundbreaking, video-rich, broadband
to PC service.
