ABOUT

"Our new series made with BBC Learning, is now showing on BBC Bitesize.

We’ve collaborated with Leeds based The Firm Music group in turning 6 Shakespeare plays into catchy pop songs and animated them with our own special Fettle twist!

We’ve tackled Twelfth Night, Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, Hamlet, A Midsummer Night’s Dream and The Tempest.

We’ve tried to stay true to the original text and intentions of each play, but brought it up to date too, to introduce the plays and the glorious language of William Shakespeare to a younger audience.

This year is the 400th anniversary of the death of the famous bard, and we have made these in celebration of these timeless classic plays – we think Shakespeare just might have approved!

Enjoy!" - Fettle Animation
