Romeo and Juliet


Romeo was quite an acrobat if he really climbed to this balcony!*

Romeo and Juliete, Shakespeare's famous play, is required study in just about every English-speaking country - and in quite a few non-English-speaking countries as well. For that reason I thought it would be helpful to produce an aid to revision for students, aimed at the high school level but perhaps of help to others as well.

Peter Bayliss, a retired English teacher, knows his Shakespeare back to front. In these six short films he reviews the main characters in the play and discusses their roles and significance, he highlights the points in the play that are of interest to examiners and clarifies the various themes that are woven together to produce Shakespeare's masterpiece.
