The full trailer of Shakespeare Republic: #LoveTheBard (Season Two), featuring Michala Banas, Stephen Costan, Alan Fletcher, Nadine Garner, Dean Haglund, Christopher Kirby, Sally McLean, Tariro Mavondo, Wahibe Moussa, Falon Ryan, Shane Savage, Billy Smedley and Phoebe Anne Taylor with Guest Artists Faran Martin and Vuyo Loko.

Winner of the 2017 CINE Golden Eagle Award for Best Digital Series and currently blitzing around the international film festival circuit, Shakespeare Republic: #LoveTheBard (Season Two) is firmly putting screen adaptations of Shakespeare back on the map ... all the way from Australia.

"... this polished, beautifully made series from director/producer Sally McLean ... a fine use of the platform and, more importantly, a very fine adaptation of the Bard ... Shakespeare Republic is put together with grace and wit. An assortment of actors do terrific work making the (non-dumbed down) dialogue accessible, prying it open with great care and skill." - Luke Buckmaster, The Guardian

Using some of Shakespeare's most intriguing monologues and sonnets, Season Two of Shakespeare Republic explores a day in the life of 13 of Shakespeare's characters who exist in the same world, living their lives in modern society, sometimes meeting, sometimes passing like ships in the night, all using Shakespeare's original text.

"... incredibly clever and highly addictive ..." - Made In Melbourne Film Festival, Australia

A great anthology series.

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.

Superbly clever adaptations of iconic Shakespeare

This series is genius in it's concept and execution. Director, Sally McLean is a truly gifted storyteller with a unique and seemingly boundless depth of vision. This is something truly special for both fans of Shakespeare and those new to his works. Highly recommend.

Shakespeare would be proud!

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.

What a Wonderful Show

I absolutely adore this show. The work on all sides of the camera is exquisite. The bard's words are just wonderfully honored in this series.

Brilliant and breathtaking

"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!
