#Shakespeare400

As part of the ‪#‎Shakespeare400‬ celebrations Neil Clarke and Dana Olarescu have co-directed a series of five filmed Shakespeare monologues from Richard III, Titus Andronicus, Henry IV, Timon of Athens, and Troilus and Cressida.

Here they have given traditionally male speeches to female actors and vice versa. As well as questioning notions and expectations of gender through this inverse casting, it also provides an opportunity for female actors to play types of characters denied them by the canon of female Shakespearean roles.
