"Romeo and Juliet with Joseph Fiennes." Denton, Richard. Shakespeare Uncovered. PBS. 13 Feb. 2015. Radio.
This is an episode of a series entitled Shakespeare Uncovered that was broadcasted by PBS. Each episode breaks down and examines one of William Shakespeare's plays. This one in particular has actor Joseph Fiennes narrate the play Romeo and Juliet. I found this very useful to refresh my understanding of Romeo and Juliet; it discussed how actors who played the characters came to understand the story, the character choices, and emotions of the play. I will most likely allow my students to watch clips to help give them a better understanding of the play.
