Customer Reviews of The Standard Deviants - Shakespeare Tragedies - Othello, Macbeth, King Lear
As a lightweight introduction, it is ok! As the title of the review suggests, I have used this text has an introductory / revision entry point for some of my English students who were struggling to access the plays. The style and content of the DVD is generally energetic in a low budget sense. More importantly, the DVD managed to provoke a few laughs to engage the audience as they watched and motivated them to think more deeply about the play/s. <

>Whilst this DVD is not the answer to anything, it could be another useful complimentry educational aid if used in the appropriate way in association with other resources. <

Mixed Feelings
I thought this dvd was a little bit expensive. Although they focused on Shakespeare's classic tragedies like Othello, Macbeth, and King Lear to approach high school level without overdoing it. Shakespeare can be rough for most people but he's still popular among actors, actresses, and directors in the theater. Shakespeare is still seen as the role model for which all other playwrights follow to succeed him. The Standard Deviants should have used better actors and actresses in this dvd series. Not that they didn't do an adequate job but we don't know them or their backgrounds. We assume that when we see Shakespeare on stage that it should be with talented professionals, somebody familiar. The quality was still good though. I would have liked to have a compact disc to accompany it on the computer for the teacher like myself.
Good intro/review
I'm a high school English teacher and I thought it was amazing how this video covered every single element of the plays that I focus on, and added a few other insights that I now have added to my plans. Covers language use, symbolism, characters, plot, irony, etc. For Lear includes an interesting bit about how the play incorporates elements of the Fairy Tale. Genuinely interesting from start to (nearly 2 hour long) finish.
