Celebrating the brilliance of the Bard - this is Shakespeare Republic. All the world's a stage.

Shakespeare Republic is a collective of Australian-based actors who have come together to celebrate Shakespeare, his works and his enduring legacy, through sharing their interpretation of his words and thoughts, via settings and circumstances that are familiar to a 21st Century audience.—Incognita Enterprises

Using some of Shakespeare's most famous monologues and sonnets, each episode is a 'snapshot' of a piece of modern life performed by members of an ensemble made up of a mix of established and up-and-coming actors - all filmed in Melbourne, Australia. Each piece stands as an individual 'moment in time' that highlights how Shakespeare (and his fellow Elizabethan playwrights) were talking about issues and ideas that we are still debating and experiencing today. The takeaway? This series shows that Shakespeare speaks to us now just as strongly as he did 400 years ago when he first put quill to parchment.
