The Playing Shakespeare videos can be purchased in the USA from Films
for the Humanities and Sciences. For more information, search "Playing
Shakespeare" or "Exploring a Character" at their website:
<www.films.com>. The eleven-video set (nine programs/chapters from
Barton's book and two earlier programs hosted by Trevor Nunn, featuring
Barton and including McKellin's anatomizing of "Tomorrow and
tomorrow...") sells for US$899; each episode lists for US$89.95.
Best,

To Don Ulin:
The 1999 Films for the Humanities and Sciences catalog (800-257-5126)
has the 11-part series of videos to which you refer, *Playing
Shakespeare*, available for $899.00 (#BZF137). The particular video to
which you refer, "Exploring a Character," is devoted to playing Shylock,
and includes David Suchet and Patrick Stewart tackling the role under
the direction of John Barton, and is available for $89.95 (#BZF760).

I have a copy of the Fall 1984 Shakespeare Newsletter with a color
insert for the video series you've described. It's a series of nine
videos, with Barton directing a cast including Ben Kingsley, Ian
McKellen, Sinead Cusack, Jane Lapotaire, Alan Howard, Peggy Ashcroft,
and others. The series was being sold then by Films for the Humanities,
and a quick web search revealed that this company is still doing
business as Films for the Humanities and Sciences. Their web site is at
http://www.films.com, and the "Exploring a Character" video in
particular can be purchased for $89.95 at
http://www.films.com/Dynamic/Item/Item760A.asp?OrderID=P1999032919383817.

The good news is that the series Playing Shakespeare - a series of
workshops with John Barton - is available for sale on the Films for the
Humanities and Sciences website (http://www.films.com). The bad news is
that it retails at 899.00 US dollars. If anyone knows of a cheaper
option please let me know.
Yours,
Jim Shaw
