Shakespeare in perspective. Twelfth night. Season 2, episode 4
Description
The BBC produced Shakespeare in Perspective, a series of 25-minute personal introductions to individual plays by an eclectic range of presenters from the literary (Anthony Burgess, Dennis Potter, Jilly Cooper) to the scholarly (Germaine Greer, Frank Kermode, Michael Wood) to the celebrity (Roy Hudd, George Melly, Barry Took). These usually took the form of straight-to-camera addresses from assorted locations with some connection to the play, which were intercut with extracts from the accompanying BBC Shakespeare production, usually screened later that evening. This Shakespeare in Perspective episode, Twelfth Night, was written and presented by painter and poet David Jones and was filmed at The Other Place, Stratford-upon-Avon, England, and Warwickshire, a property of the National Trust in Warwickshire, England, with extracts from the BBC Television Shakespeare production of Twelfth Night directed by John Gorrie.
