• A remarkable silent film version of Hamlet in which Claudius and Gertrude have a daughter, disguise her and bring her up as a prince. In the midst of the action-packed plot (including scenes of Hamlet at Wittenberg University with fellow students Horatio, Rosencrantz, Guildernsten and Fortinbras) a subtext of the star-crossed love between Hamlet and Horatio is subtly woven.

• 17th March – The Tempest
