The original reel-to-reel tapes were variously commissioned, ordered, made and owned by Sam Wanamaker. From the inaugural events of the Globe Playhouse Trust onwards, it was quite clear that Sam’s vision for the library aspect of his project included an audio archive of lectures and events, as well as performances, and it is gratifying to feel that the recent digitisation makes who was subject to surveillance. Another was a recording of a pair this material accessible just as he had intended. of radio broadcasts of Laura Riding’s ‘Four Unposted Letters to Catherine’, read by his wife, Charlotte Holland.

  • Shakespeare on Film, Video & Stage
    William Shakespeare on Film, Video and Stage Titles in bold red font with an asterisk (*) represent the crème de la crème – first choice titles in each category. These are the titles you’ll probably want to explore first. Titles in bold black font are the second- tier – outstanding films that are the next level of artistry and craftsmanship. Once you have experienced the top tier, these are where you should go next. They may not represent the highest achievement in each genre, but they are definitely a cut above the rest. Finally, the titles which are in a regular black font constitute the rest of the films within the genre. I would be the first to admit that some of these may actually be worthy of being “ranked” more highly, but it is a ridiculously subjective matter.

Numerous mentors at California State University at San Bernardino supported my academic pursuits, including Dr. Juan Delgado, Dr. Julie Paegle, and Dr. Sunny Hyon.
