Shakespeare Shortz

Send us your Shakespeare clips!

In Autumn 2009 we had Othello and Lend Me Your Ears at the theatre. To celebrate the immense array of great quotes by the Bard, we asked the public to post clips of themselves "doing some Shakespeare". We made this video to encourage people to enter.



Although the Competition has now closed, we're happy to receive further submissions, just for fun. Click here to post your video response. You can record directly, choose an existing clip or upload a new one. Your clip can be filmed in any way you want, using real people, animation, puppets, Lego etc! Don't worry about quality of the filming, this is more about the taking part. If you can't see the video above, check it out on YouTube.
