Shakespeare Republic

"Take Shakespeare's soliloquies and put them in a modern-day setting." The concept itself is intriguing enough, but the execution and performances are absolutely off-the-charts. As the head of the New Jersey WebFest, we were delighted to award this show with Outstanding Drama Series, as well as a Direct Selection to another prestigious web festival. It's just incredible. I can't get enough of it!

It is rare that something comes along from the Shakespeare realm on screen and makes his work feel fresh and totally alive, and yet still deeply rooted in his original worlds. This series is such a thing. Truly beautiful vignettes celebrating all the complicated, joyful and tragic elements of being human, featuring some brilliant actors with a deft hand directing, set in our modern world, while still using the original words of the Bard to their utmost effect. A must watch.

I had the pleasure of reviewing this show and awarding it for Best Original Idea in Rio Webfest 2017 and I highly recommend it. Great cast and great technical staff. #lovethebard season two is amazing and hope to see more from it soon.

This is Shakespeare 2.0! A web anthology dedicated to the "Bard" words and poetry. Some episodes are truly breathtaking. Casting is perfect and some acting performances are incredibly powerful.

Surprising setting for Shakespeare bits. Impressive acting. The result is beautiful and often breathtaking. Each episode is a delight.
