A follow-up to the fascinating documentary series SHAKESPEARE UNCOVERED is now available to order on DVD, featuring a slew of stars recreating some of the Bard's most famous scenes. The documentary is out today, February 24.

The official description of SHAKESPEARE UNCOVERED: SERIES 2 is as follows: "Behind every Shakespeare play is a story. SHAKESPEARE UNCOVERED portrays the Bard as an impresario who, four centuries ago, defined show business in his day-drawing on historical sources, stealing and adapting ideas, bringing back popular characters, writing prequels, and developing dramatic ideas from the politics of the day. In each episode, a major Shakespearean actor or director explores and reveals the extraordinary world and works of William Shakespeare and the still-potent impact they have today. The presenters have spent their lives with Shakespeare s work and relate not only to the stories of the plays themselves, but also how they came to be written, how they have been performed, and how they have survived over 400 years.

Taming of the Shrew, with Morgan Freeman Romeo and Juliet, with Joseph Fiennes Othello, with David Harewood A Midsummer Night's Dream, with Hugh Bonneville Antony and Cleopatra, with Kim Cattrall King Lear, with Christopher Plummer This DVD features subtitles in English (SDH)."
