As part of a district arts initiative, each of our buildings has planned to commemorate the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare’s death. Teachers may find the Guardian’s “Shakespeare Solos” video series especially useful since they have “asked leading actors to perform key speeches from his plays.”
In the close-captioned video below, “Damian Lewis performs Antony’s lines from act III, scene 2 of Julius Caesar. Antony has been granted permission to speak at Caesar’s funeral so long as he does not implicate the conspirators in his death, but he skillfully turns the crowd against them.”
