Silent Shakespeare

This is a rare opportunity to see seven silent Shakespeare performances produced between 1899 and 1911 that have been digitally restored by the British Film Institute’s National Film and Television Archive. The screenings will be accompanied live by the London Contemporary Orchestra, performing compositions by Laura Rossi. Among the plays are ‘The Tempest’, ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’, ‘King Lear’ and ‘The Merchant of Venice’. The event is a fundraiser for Sense, the charity for deafblind people.
