Shakespeare Stage and Screen Pictures

[Janine]

Yay, Janine is back.

Yay friend, but not full-fledged yet; I am making short appearances. I have some pressing matters and actually I am not feeling really well today...still thought I would check in here and see if there was any progress since I left.
What happened to the last two photos that Sophia posted - I just see X'd boxes and her other photos look as if they are changed or different than what I originally saw on this thread or is it me, going crazy?

[Janine]

Thought I would try and add some photos tonight to this thread - to revive it; I certainly have not forgotten it.


Kenneth Branagh playing Hamlet at an early age (stage). I love the way in which this photo was shot.

Hey, Everyone, I am back and anxious to revive this thread.
I came across these great movie/play posters; thought these would be appropriate. These are some of the older ones:

Thought this design was interesting.

Hamlet - Strobridge Litho Co. - artist unknown


Two versions from the same film:
Romeo and Juliet - Norma Shearer, Leslie Howard



Romeo and Juliet - Moreno


Twelfth Night - Strobridge Litho Co.


Romeo and Juliet - artist unknown


Taming of the Shrew - Pickford and Fairbanks


Romeo and Juliet - Strobridge Litho Co.


Othello - Wilbur Pierce


Richard III - Mr. Frederick Warde


Julius Caesar - Charlton Heston, and an all-star cast


I have plenty more to post tomorrow.

I rearranged some of my files in Photobucket so I have to replace some that now are blank above.

I found all of these great renditions of Hamlet's 'Get thee to a nunery scene' today on Youtube:
