Shakespeare is performed by
Abey Bradbury and she performs all three of the Shakespeare plays above in
about 60 seconds. The videos are a bit longer but if you take out the credits
it’s about 60 seconds.

This is a really lovely and clever
adaption of King Lear, set in the COVID era. There are sixteen episodes,
all a couple of minutes long and it looks like they were posted on sixteen
consecutive days.
The series was written by Abey
Bradbury and it’s so good. She takes all the important events in King Lear
and fits them really convincingly into the modern COVID world. It really
surprised me how well it worked. King Lear is about the dividing up of
lands and it has a very historical feel (King Lear is thought of as
Shakespeare’s fictional King, but he’s based on a legendary King called King
Leir), but I suppose the lands aren’t really the important part of the play –
it’s about the relationships between parents and children. That is something
which has gone on for centuries and will probably continue to go on forever.
