This ''intelligent and energetic production'' (Daily Telegraph) of Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew was captured in High Definition and surround sound at the faithful reconstruction of the original Globe Theatre on the banks of the Thames (which has been called ''a theatrical heaven'' by the Sunday Express). It stars Simon Paisley Day and Samantha Spiro as the calm and complex Petruchio and the tempestuous Katherina. ''Although it's broad and bawdy, there are a few essential touches of poignancy, and the laughs come thick and fast.'' (Evening Standard) ''Bravely and wisely, director Toby Frow balances the play's startling cruelty with exuberant comic energy, rather than knowing irony'' (The Telegraph).

''A cracking directorial debut by Eve Best'' (The Telegraph) guides this dark and powerful tragedy about ambition, murder, guilt and remorse. An effective and stirring score by Olly Fox accompanies double-Olivier Award winner Samantha Spiro as Lady Macbeth: ''a bundle of ambitious energy turning into a frenzied madwoman behind closed castle doors who finally collapses into a sorry wreck of herself as she goes completely mad'' (Sunday Express). ''Miraculously, the play worked its dark incantatory spell. The chief reason for this was the superb fresh-minted performances of Joseph Millson and Samantha Spiro as the Macbeths'' (The Telegraph). This production was captured in High Definition and surround sound at the Globe Theatre's faithful reconstruction on the banks of the Thames, which has been called ''a theatrical heaven'' by the Sunday Express.

Roger Allam – “this most versatile and humane of actors…in fine form here†– delivers a magnificent performance as Prospero in this production captured in High Definition and surround sound at the faithful reconstruction of the original Globe Theatre on the banks of the Thames (which has been called “a theatrical heaven†by the Sunday Express). Probably the last play that Shakespeare wrote alone, The Tempest is set on a remote island where Prospero, the rightful Duke of Milan, plots to restore his daughter Miranda to her rightful place using skillful manipulation and a conjured-up storm. This delightful production “memorably captures the humor, the enchantment and the tantalizing sense of mystery of Shakespeare’s last masterpiece.†(The Telegraph). Also starring Jason Baugham, Jesse Buckley, Sam Cox, and Pip Donaghy.

This production of the very popular Shakespeare play about young lovers, accident-prone workmen, and two royal courts – those of Duke Theseus, and King Oberon and Queen Titania – “is touching and joyously inventive. Dominic Dromgoole’s lively, affectionate and consistently inventive staging beautifully captures both the humor and the disconcerting strangeness of the play. This is a joyously inventive and touching production of The Dream, a work that seems particularly close to Shakespeare’s heart.†(The Telegraph). A Midsummer Night’s Dream was captured in High Definition and surround sound at the Globe Theatre’s faithful reconstruction on the banks of the Thames, which has been called “a theatrical heaven†by the Sunday Express.

There is a code in the TORAH, the first five books of the Old Testament. The Code is real and mathematically provable. Incredibly, the Code seems to have information about what is happening today. Names, places and events are all encoded. The TORAH is not a crystal ball but new clues seem to indicate that it was meant for our generation to discover its secrets. Since the first introduction of computers in the 70s, a select group of rabbis and professors have been working to crack the Code. You'll meet them and see what they've discovered. The Torah seems to be encoded with major world events including anything that is important to Israel. The Hamas wars - rockets and terrorist attacks. Major events. The Economy, the Twin Towers, the BP Oil disaster, Terror Attacks, 2012 - all have been encoded. Director Richard Shaw interviews the world experts on the Codes, as well as explorers like L.A. Marzulli, IDF Reserve Captain / Writer - Dan Gordon, Col. Richard Kemp CBE, and many others that know the truth of what is happening in Israel. You'll walk on the Gaza border, see actual Hamas missiles used to kill school children. An incredible look at an ancient mystery that seems to have been locked away until our generation. But why is it being revealed now? This is the Standard DVD edition.

Please note: Due to the early television kinescope process employed to record the live programs in 1955 and 1956, there are certain visual artifacts (a constant dot and some screen shading on certain camera angles) that are inherent in the original master and could not be removed from the final product in the restoration process. These artifacts are part and parcel of many early television programs.
