Hamlet: Prince of Zoomers Episode 1 - "The Apparition"

The King is dead. 

For two nights the guards on watch on the Elsinore castle tower have seen a shocking sight: a ghostly figure which looks exactly like the dead king! They bring their smart friend, Horatio, to the tower one night to prove what they have seen is real. An exciting new web series for The Glenwood Shakespeare Company presenting a Hamlet for the times: read in the style of a Zoom teleconference. 

Fifteen the Movie

"Fifteen" the Movie!

Glenwood's entry for the 1-Minute Film Competition. A king battles a powerful enemy and the loyalty (the theme of the competition) of his remaining soldiers is put to the test. A great little action adventure with a strong theme and a neat twist. You might have to watch it twice - there is so much happening!

This version has extended credits to see all of the film makers. Be sure to check out the playlist for the movie for plenty of behind-the-scenes action and insight.

Once More Unto the Breach!

A visual exploration of this famous speech from Shakespeare's Henry V!

Playing Shakespeare: Henry V

Highlights from Shakespeare's Henry V as performed by Year 2 at Glenwood Public School. Part of a Friday afternoon Drama group, we explored the text and talked about language and then staged some of the scenes for the camera. You probably need a good understanding of the story to follow - it's hard to compact a three hour play into twenty minutes! Who said you can't get kids into Shakespeare??
