25 January
For Burns' Night, three very short videos have been put on the channel. Basically just recitals. I avoided the usual suspects to make it a bit more interesting.

Third Hamlet video uploaded
We have been able to get hold of a new computer, which means that the third Hamlet video is now on the channel, completing the set for that play.
Normal business will be resumed...
We have a final video ready for Hamlet , but our editing machine, AKA the Family Mac, has finally packed in after seven years. Time for a family Xmas pressie...
Characterisation in 'Hamlet'
And today we will mostly be recording the video on characterisation in Hamlet , mostly concentrating on the man himself, Claudius, Gertrude and Ophelia. Also, the video on plot for the same play will be going live later today.
Thanking everyone
This is just a short post while we record the three videos for Hamlet . I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who has watched and/or subscribed to the YouTube channel; we have more than 600 views already.
'A Midsummer Night's Dream': filming and editing
The video on the plot of A Midsummer Night's Dream is due to go live this afternoon, and we are ready to film and edit those on context and characterisation for this play. Until now we have released the video on characterisation first from the group of three on each play, but we have changed our minds for this one., The reason for this is its structural complexity; it's easier to understand the the interaction of the characters once you know what happens.
