Film
The British Shakespeare Company are working on our
first film 'Sweet
Swan of Avon' and are looking forward to seeing our work
on the big screen. As well as many historic recreations the film will
include excerpts from The Tempest, Henry
IV part I, Henry VI part I,
Hamlet, Richard III, Titus
Andronicus, King Lear, Romeo
and Juliet,
Cymbeline, Twelfth Night, The
Merry Wives of Windsor, Troilus and Cressida and All's
Well That Ends Well.
We did our first week of filming at Jesus College,
Oxford followed by a week at incredible locations in Norway. These
included the stunning Akershus Castle in Oslo and Ramma Gaard.
We are very pleased with the results and it was a
wonderful experience with a fantastic group of people. It is a Miramar
Film Production and we are working with a brilliant team from Norway
including AS
Videomaker and internationally acclaimed director Jorgen
Friberg.
All casting, costumes, locations and direction of
actors by Robert J. Williamson and the British Shakespeare Company. We are very keen to offer our services to other television
and film companies. Please contact us for information and advice. |
