The documentary series will be made available from 8 November at 9pm.
A whole host of archived productions and Shakespeare-based films will be released across October and November to celebrate the contributions made by the First Folio.
There will also be specially created new introductions for many of these, featuring David Tennant on Hamlet, Richard Eyre on King Lear, Janet Suzman on Wars of the Roses, Gregory Doran on the Shakespeare Gala from the RSC, Russell T Davies on A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Mirren on As You Like It, Hugh Quarshie on Othello, Steven Berkoff on Hamlet at Elsinore, Simon Russell Beale on The Hollow Crown, and Ian McKellen on All is True.

Dadzilla is important to me, along with Fazdad soooo here's some stuffs about them meeting their kids!
Godzilla and Maddie
Godzilla doesn't meet Maddie until after the merger and the new 'Monster Park' is almost ready to open. Emma and Mark Russell (Maddie's parents) are going through a very difficult divorce and Vivienne Graham takes her while they... sort their differences. Serizawa is Godzilla's handler/behavorist/mechanic/whatever you want to call it, and ofc introduces his Favorite Niece to his greatest creation.
Maddie is 12ish years old, and all of 4'10". Animatronic Godzilla is around 14' tall. But she's a fearless little thing, and leans right over the railing to pet G's snout.
He's smitten from the get-go. His mechanical heart belongs to her now, This Is His Child.
Freddy and Gregory
Going into canon divergence here (obviously), and having Gregory living at the 'plex for a while before he's caught by Bonnie sneaking around after hours. But Gregory is smart and has befriended the wet floor signs, who cause distractions/something to hide behind.
Bonnie is slowly believing that the 'plex is haunted bc Gregory just seems to appear and only shows up when its extremely crowded or in the dead of night. Freddy is having to go to increasing lengths to reassure Bonnie that ghosts don't exist (HA!).
Gregory is 10, and small for his age at around 4 foot nothing. Freddy is around 7'8" in this au. They meet in... similar circumstances as the game. Gregory is hiding from someone, and ended up in Freddy's stomach hatch.
Since Gregory looks like a pathetic waif of a wet cat, Freddy was immediately like "Don't worry, Small Child! I will protect you! :D" when really its everyone else that needs to be guarded from Gregory alkdal
He's feral.

Some women retailers were so well established that they issued their own coins – trade tokens to use as small change during the constant shortage of official coinage. Six trade tokens struck by women dating from 1660-70 have survived.

props to their fight coordinator for giving the werewolf a style that really conveys ‘wild animal.’ There’s a moment that caught my attention (gifs would be so helpful right now, aahhhhh, i wish oh well) where Jack, rolling to his knee after getting knocked out of the air, claws the back of a guy’s knee. And I was like, huh. If I wanted to take down large prey like a moose, would I want to aim for tendons and/or femoral artery in the hind leg to disable and weaken it?
Answer: YouTube videos of hunting techniques of wolves says it probably wouldn’t be my first choice - aiming for the back leg puts you in range of skull-crushing kicks, so mostly wolves’ll go for the shoulder, the throat being the number one target. Though there were a couple examples I saw where successful kills were made by hanging on to a hind leg and slowing the bison down until other pack members managed to get to the neck.
Jack does do the knee-target thing a second time, only then it’s more of a leg sweep and we don’t see any blood spray. He actually lacks a lot of follow-through, which I find very interesting, if it was made for character reasons and not, like, keeping it family-friendly. Like, all my knowledge of dog fighting technique comes from White Fang, so take it with many grains of salt - Jack London was a novelist, not an animal behaviorist - but dog fighting’s not a subject I’m keen on actually researching for veracity’s sake.
Anyway, the titular White Fang’s winning technique has just two steps: 1) knock his opponent off their feet. Don’t waste time growling or posturing, just rush in and shoulder them to the ground. 2) tear out their throat. bam! go straight for the jugular. (this technique serves him extremely well until he trips over a bulldog.) Watching Jack fight, he’s very good at step 1, knocking mooks around left and right, but there’s only one instance of follow-through, and he wastes time biting the guy’s ear off before killing him.
tl;dr: Jack’s werewolf is not as much of a killing machine as he thinks it is. (A killer, yes, but an inefficient one, lol)

starter for @tkachukmatthew for warner.
gregory russell. demon. old as heck. bisexual. any pronouns.
"look who it is…" he trails off, forcing the corners of his mouth to raise as his heart -- the one that plenty were unconvinced that he had -- drops to his stomach. it's been hundreds of years since he'd seen him last, yet not one day had passed where he hadn't been on his mind. not one, not ever. no matter how busy, or dangerous or relaxing a day could be. it was that stupid angel that was on his mind. it was frustrating and humiliating, considering the circumstances that they left their...situation in. "are you lost? what are you doing here, warner?"
