Four of William Shakespeare's timeless tales of love and drama are joined together to create this ultimate combination of star-crossed love. Lavish production design, superb direction and acclaimed performances from some of the best actors of the era make these films indispensable for any Shakespeare fan's library.

TWELFTH NIGHT: This unforgettable Shakespeare classic is a twisting turning romantic comedy filled with cross-dressing, mistaken identities, and unrequited love. One of Shakespeare's most popular and enduring comedies gets the full treatment in this acclaimed production by the Renaissance Theatre Company and acclaimed director Kenneth Branagh.

ROMEO and JULIET: This moving interpretation of Shakespeare's ageless tale of family feuds, star-crossed lovers and tragic, untimely death features a first-rate cast, authentic sets and colourful costumes that will envelop you in world's most famous love story.

MACBETH: When a trio of witches prophesize Macbeth's (Ian McKellen) ascension to the throne, Lady Macbeth (Judi Dench) pushes her husband into a murderous spree. But once crowned king of Scotland, Macbeth sees ghastly visions, fuelled by guilt and a new prophecy, that ensure his ultimate downfall. This classic production is directed by three-time Tony Award winner Trevor Nunn and also features the unsurpassed talent of Ian McKellen, Oscar winner Judi Dench, and The Royal Shakespeare Company.

KING LEAR: When King Lear renounces his throne to divide his kingdom among his daughters, treachery, madness, and murder follow. Battle lines are drawn and backs are stabbed as King Lear rages against the fearsome storm that was his own doing. This compelling production remains the truest example of how William Shakespeare's King Lear is to be performed; starring Patrick Magee and other mainstays of stage and television this film is a true gene.
