Shakespeare Uncovered: Series Three
Production of the third season of Shakespeare Uncovered, a six-part PBS/BBC documentary television series focusing on the plays of William Shakespeare.
Shakespeare Uncovered is a multi-part public television project that explores the text and the context of the plays of William Shakespeare. In each documentary, a leading actor or director guides an in-depth look at an individual play, one that combines history, biography, iconic performances, interviews with scholars and theater professionals, and scenes staged especially for the series by Shakespeare’s Globe in London. Building on the success of the first two NEH-funded seasons, Series Three will consist of six one-hour programs: Coriolanus, Much Ado About Nothing, The Merchant of Venice, Richard III, Measure for Measure, and The Winter’s Tale. WNET will also expand the series’ website and continue the successful outreach that brings local Shakespeare events and programming to communities across the country.
