All the world's a stage

Next (1990)

Directed by Barry Purves this is a short film from the Aardman Animations company. In just five minutes an actor who looks a lot like a certain play write gives us a run through of all of Shakespeare's plays.

Despite it's short run time this is a really fun whistle stop tour through the works of Shakespeare. While I was unable to pick out all the plays it is fun spotting the ones you do know and this film ends up being a great celebration of the plays. I really enjoyed the animation style and the lack of dialogue from the protagonist works well.


4/5
