Playing Shakespear - John Barton - On DVD
Wed, 4 Aug 2010, 01:29 pmI have often heard it said that if you want to play Shakespeare then get your hands on John Barton's Book Playing Shakespear. Based upon a TV series done some years back now, it is considered essential reading by anyone doing or contemplating Shakespearian Theatre.
The TV Series will very shortly be available on DVD and I thought I should let everyone know. JB HiFi will be stocking this collection (3 DVD Box Set) for $40 as of the 12th this month from their online store. See the link below.
DVD Region coding
Wed, 18 Aug 2010, 10:27 amYes, let me reiterate El's very valid point. Most DVD players these days can be modified with a very simple point and set code via the remote to read all regions. A simple google search should assist in that regard. There were whispers that such action invalidates warranties but;
1) Players are so cheap these days - who cares
2) You'd have to be unlucky for yours to snuff it in what is generally a 12 month warranty term
3) I've been advised by sales people at Harvey Norman that it's a load of rubbish - it has no effect on the warranty terms
