The Education Project

We will produce a number of short films based on the Sonnets and associated, open discussions between the director of the films and a leading Shakespeare performer, critic or academic. We will also like to produce a book for teacher and student resource.

The innovative way in which the Passion in Pieces films would be delivered is in a “special sponsored edition” which enables them to be free-to-download to the public.  Before the opening credits and after the closing credits there would be a stylish “micro-ad” of a well-known international company.  The product would be available in any video format to operate on iPods, PSPs, G3 phones and all other similar devices.  It could also be available on DVD.

Each short film lasts for around two to three minutes and deals with a single Sonnet from the collection. The soundtrack will be a reading of the sonnet. Original music will be specially written.

Shakespeare was deeply involved with two other people. The short films depict corresponding characters but are set in modern day London. We also introduce a new character – that of a ghost from Shakespeare’s time, whose voice we hear on the soundtrack.

The secondary aim for the short films is for television broadcast network worldwide.

Thirdly, a feature film is planned of the fateful triangle based on the short films with additional footage.
