All's Well That Ends Well (1981)
Helena loves Bertram, but he's of noble birth, while she's just a doctor's daughter. But Bertram is at the court of the King of France, who is ill, and Helena has a remedy that might cure him and win her the right to marry Bertram. But does Bertram want to marry her?

Antony & Cleopatra (1981)
Mark Antony, one of the three rulers of the Roman Empire, commands the eastern Mediterranean. Despite his infatuation with Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt, he has to return to Rome. As his fellow ruler Octavius schemes, Mark Antony rejoins Cleopatra and, driven by blind passion, they confront the mighty empire.

As You Like It (1978)
Orlando is forced to work like a servant for his brother Oliver, so he goes to win his fortune in a wrestling contest, where he meets a lady of the court, Rosalind. Rosalind (daughter of the deposed duke) is companion to Celia, niece of the deposed Duke, and when the current duke banishes Rosalind from the kingdom, she, Celia, the court jester (and incidentally Orlando) all end up in the forest or Arden, where the deposed Duke holds court. Romantic mixups, cross-dressing, love poems nailed to trees, and a lion await them all.

The Comedy of Errors (1983)
Aegeon of Syracuse has come to Ephesus to seek his son, who went in search of his missing twin and mother months ago. Too bad that Ephesus has just declared war on Syracuse, and will instantly put to death any Syracusean found within their borders unless a ransome's paid. Meanwhile, the son, Antipholus, and his servant, Dromio (also an identical twin), keep running into strangers who seem to know them...

Coriolanus (1984)
Shakespeare's play about a proud Roman general who conquers the Volscians, leads them against Rome in revenge for his banishment, and is killed by the Volscian general when Coriolanus is persuaded to spare the city

Cymbeline (1982)
Cymbeline, the King of Britain, is angry that his daughter Imogen has chosen a poor (but worthy) man for her husband. So he banishes Posthumus, who goes to fight for Rome. Imogen (dressed as a boy) goes in search of her husband, who meanwhile has boasted to his pal Iachimo that Imogen would never betray him. And Iachimo's determined to prove him wrong.

Hamlet (1980)
Prince Hamlet of Denmark is told by his father's ghost that his uncle Claudius has murdered him and married his widow. Hamlet vows revenge and feigns madness, but this has disastrous consequences for his relationship with Ophelia, while his preference for talk and thought over action leads to fatal errors.

Henry IV: Parts I & II (1979)
While King Henry IV attempts to unite the warring factions making up his kingdom, his son Prince Hal prefers the rumbustious company of Sir John Falstaff. King Henry IV's reign is threatened by rebellion, and his son, Prince Hal, has been led astray by the freewheeling Falstaff. Only when Hal turns away from Falstaff and his lowlife friends will he see the honor in ascending to the throne. With Henry IV falling ill, Hal's moment of decision is at hand. Anthony Quayle, Jon Finch and David Gwillim star in a production from the BBC's presentation of the complete works of William Shakespeare.

Henry V: Parts I & II (1979)
Young King Henry of England asserts a hereditary claim to the throne of France, gathering an army and embarking on a course that will lead to one of England's greatest battlefield triumphs and forever change the face of Europe. Follows King Henry V as he unites his people, deals justly with traitors, leads his soldiers to victory, and ensures peace by marrying a French princess.

Henry VI: Parts I, II & III (1983)
As Henry's marriage to Margaret cedes the last of his father's French gains, the presence of a weak king encourages dissent. Feuds rage between Gloucester and Beaufort and between York's faction and the other lords until York sets up Jack Cade to lead a popular revolt. By using actors in multiple roles, director Jane Howell highlights the similarities and contrasts between various characters throughout the story.

Henry VIII (1979)
A production of Shakespeare's play focusing on the period of Henry's life where he was growing tired of Catherine of Aragon and very fond of Anne Boleyn. Also stresses the plotting of Cardinals Woolsey and Cranmer.

Julius Caesar (1979)
The events leading up to the assassination of Roman emperor Julius Caesar, and the chaotic aftermath.

King Lear (1982)
King Lear, old and tired, divides his kingdom among his daughters, giving great importance to their protestations of love for him. When Cordelia, youngest and most honest, refuses to idly flatter the old man in return for favor, he banishes her and turns for support to his remaining daughters. But Goneril and Regan have no love for him and instead plot to take all his power from him. In a parallel, Lear's loyal courtier Gloucester favors his illegitimate son Edmund after being told lies about his faithful son Edgar. Madness and tragedy befall both ill-starred fathers.

The Life and Death of King John (1984)
The life and death of England's 'bad king', in conflict not only with the French and the Pope but also those who dispute his claim to the throne.

Love's Labour's Lost (1985)
When the King of Navarre and three of his cronies swear to spend all their days in study and not to look at any girls, they've forgotten that the daughter of the King of France is coming on a diplomatic visit. And the lady herself and her attendants play merry havoc with their intentions.

Macbeth (1983)
Macbeth and his wife murder Duncan in order to gain his crown, but the bloodbath doesn't stop there, and things supernatural combine to bring the Macbeths down.

Measure for Measure (1979)
When the Duke of Vienna takes a mysterious leave of absence and leaves the strict Angelo in charge, things couldn't be worse for Claudio, who is sentenced to death for premarital sex. His sister, Isabella (a nun-in-training), however, is a very persuasive pleader. She goes to Angelo, but instead of freeing her brother, she gets an offer from Angelo to save Claudio's life if Isabella sleeps with him. The only sympathetic friend Isabella has is a priest who, in actuality, is the Duke in disguise...and he has a plan.

The Merchant of Venice (1980)
A rich merchant, Antonio is depressed for no good reason, until his good friend Bassanio comes to tell him how he's in love with Portia. Portia's father has died and left a very strange will: only the man that picks the correct casket out of three (silver, gold, and lead) can marry her. Bassanio, unfortunately, is strapped for cash with which to go wooing, and Antonio wants to help, so Antonio borrows the money from Shylock, the money-lender. But Shylock has been nursing a grudge against Antonio's insults, and makes unusual terms to the loan. And when Antonio's business fails, those terms threaten his life, and it's up to Bassanio and Portia to save him.

The Merry Wives of Windsor (1982)
When Sir John Falstaff decides that he wants to have a little fun he writes two letters to a pair of Window wives: Mistress Ford and Mistress Page. When they put their heads together and compare missives, they plan a practical joke or two to teach the knight a lesson. But Mistress Ford's husband is a very jealous man and is pumping Falstaff for information of the affair. Meanwhile the Pages' daughter Anne is beseiged by suitors.

A Midsummer Night's Dream (1981)
The BBC Television Shakespeare adaptation was directed by Elijah Moshinsky and broadcast on 13 December 1981 in a dark-hued, somewhat claustrophobic and vaguely menacing production very strongly influenced by seventeenth-century Dutch painting, starring Nigel Davenport (Theseus), Helen Mirren (Titania), Robert Lindsay (Lysander), Pippa Guard (Hermia), Brian Glover (Bottom) and Phil Daniels (Puck). A few days earlier, on 10 December, the accompanying Shakespeare in Perspective documentary was presented by Roy Strong.

Much Ado About Nothing (1984)
Benedick and Beatrice fight their merry war of words. But when Beatrice's friend, Hero, is humiliatingly jilted by Benedick's best friend, Claudio, Benedick has to choose which side he's on. But unknown to all, Claudio's been tricked by the bastard Don John, and (unfortunately), it's up to Dogberry and Verges to solve the case.

Othello (1981)
Othello (Anthony Hopkins) is a noble black Moor held in high regard by Venice for his service as a military general. However, he makes a deadly enemy in his ensign Iago (Bob Hoskins) after he promotes Michael Cassio (David Yelland), not Iago, to the position of personal lieutenant. To gain revenge, Iago secretly attempts to break up the new marriage of Othello and his lovely wife Desdemona (Penelope Wilton) by having Desdemona's former suitor Roderigo (Anthony Pedley) inflame Desdemona's father, Senator Brabantio (Geoffrey Chater), against Othello as a sorcerer who used witchcraft to woo his daughter.

Pericles: Prince Of Tyre (1984)
When Pericles discovers the dread answer to Antioch's riddle, he flees for his life straight into famine, shipwreck, love, fatherhood, and another shipwreck; he loses his wife and daughter, and doesn't find them again until the story moves us through resurrection, attempted murder, pirates, prostitution, and divine revelation.

Richard II (1978)
Shakespeare's historical play about the dynastic struggle between Richard II and Henry Bolingboke (later Henry IV).

The Tragedy of Richard III (1983)
Shakespeare's play about Richard of Gloucester, a self-proclaimed villian who usurps the crown. Through family machinations, political marriages and military coups, this play portrays the tumultous reign of King Edward IV and the ascension of Richard to the throne, an intricate period in English history.

Romeo & Juliet (1978)
A dramatization of Shakespeare's play entitled Romeo & Juliet produced in 1978. The tragic tale of two star-crossed lovers in 14th-century Verona, their romance doomed by the longstanding blood feud between their respective families.

The Taming of the Shrew (1980)
Baptista will not allow his saccharine younger daughter Bianca to marry until someone can rid him of his obstreperous older daughter Katherine. The swaggering Petruchio, eager to wive it wealthily in Padua, agrees to do just this. Meanwhile, Bianca has three suitors: the gray-bearded Gremio, the youngish Hortensio and the young and handsome Lucentio.

The Tempest (1980)
An elderly magician, Prospero, lives on an almost deserted island with his daughter Miranda, servant Ariel and slave Caliban - but their lives change after the men who exiled Prospero are cast ashore following a tempest.

Timon of Athens (1981)
Timon of Athens is one of Shakespeare's least-performed plays, directed by Jonathan Miller from an intelligently-streamlined text edited by David Snodin, it was a low-key but effective production that made good use of Jonathan Pryce in the title role, especially when it came to conveying Timon's lack of knowledge of humanity aside from ''the extremity at both ends''. The supporting cast included Norman Rodway (Apemantus), John Shrapnel (Alcibiades), John Bird (Poet), John Fortune (Painter) and Diana Dors (Timandra).

Titus Andronicus (1985)
Having subdued the Goths, warrior Titus Andronicus returns to Rome to bury his sons, with Gothic Queen Tamora and her retinue as captives. The newly-dead Roman Emperor's two sons, Saturninus and Bassianus, are competing for their father's title. According to Roman custom, Titus sacrifices Tamora's eldest son to the Gods; having the deciding vote, he also chooses Saturninus as Emperor. Both acts have tragic consequences.

Troilus & Cressida (1981)
In a generally well-regarded production which presented a fuller account of the text than its predecessors, Miller transposed the action from ancient Troy to an indeterminate period between the medieval era and Elizabethan England, with visual inspiration drawn from woodcuts by Dürer, Cranach and Altdorfer. The production was also notable for the casting of Jack Birkett (credited as 'The Incredible Orlando') as Thersites after he made a strong impression on Miller when he saw Derek Jarman's 1979 film of The Tempest.

Twelfth Night (1980)
Viola and Sebastian are lookalike twins, separated by a shipwreck. Viola lands in Illyria, where she disguises herself like her brother and goes into the service of the Duke Orsino. Orsino sends her to help him woo the Lady Olivia, who doesn't want the Duke, but finds that she likes the new messenger the Duke's sending. Then, of course, Viola's brother shows up, and merry hell breaks loose. Meanwhile, Olivia's uncle and his cohorts are trying to find some way to get back at Olivia's officious majordomo, Malvolio.

The Two Gentlemen of Verona (1983)
The romantic complications of various residents of Renaissance Italy, notably the two young gentlemen Proteus and Valentine.

The Winter's Tale (1981)
King Leontes of Bohemia suspects his wife, Hermione, and his friend, Polixenes, of betraying him. When he forces Polixenes to flee for his life, Leontes sets in motion a chain of events that lead to death, a ferocious bear, an infant left in the snow, young love, and a statue coming to life.
