I love what ABC Splash and Bell Shakespeare, the national repertory of Australia, have arrived at: Shakespeare Unbound. First they enact 12 scenes from 6 major plays: Romeo and Juliet, Tempest, Julius Caesar, Othello, Hamlet and Macbeth, and second deliver them online for students to access freely. Third the director and cast give behind-the-scenes talks and unpack the meanings of the plays. A modern day audience ought to see Shakespeare performed, then hear about the plays from the repertory itself, and, I hope, have a chance to discuss them openly. Shakespeare Unbound is on the ABC Splash website, and the Melbourne Herald Sun offers To be or not to be online is the question as ABC Splash and Bell Shakespeare take the bard to the net for students with Shakespeare Unbound. I very much trust that with better understanding on what is going comes greater enjoyment of the plays.
