A Fresh Look at Shakespeare: a Rolicking New Webseries

This is the work of our former neighbor Geneviève Bolduc, now studying for an advanced degree in film at the University of Oregon, and her friends at the University of British Columbia.

There will be a weekly episode, loosely anchored (it appears) in Two Gentlemen of Verona. Here's the link to the first episode that aired (netted? what IS the proper term?) August 25, and to the second, from Sept. 2.

I wondered initially why the series has English subtitles, but an early reaction from a Brazilian blog for teenage writers and readers suggests that one motivation is to make the series a tool for English as a Second Language programs.

For the rest of us, it looks like the series will just be fun to watch.
