Product Description

Introduced by Daisy Goodwin, featuring Alison Steadman, Matthew Macfadyen, Christopher Lee, Lisa Tarbuck, Ioan Gruffudd, Damian Lewis, Amanda Holden, Ralf Little, Imogen Stubbs, Stephen Tompkinson and Prunella Scales.

Passionate, amusing and touching, this poetic journey explores the highs and lows of romance through the world’s most memorable love poems recited by the best-loved actors. From Shakespeare to Wendy Cope; from Tennyson to Maya Angelou; from D.H. Lawrence to John Hegley, the themes of love’s pain, ecstacy, uncertainty and fulfillment have been explored in beautiful, touching, bitter and witty verse. Seductive, humorous or uplifting, these poems are shown to be relevant to our lives today. Filmed in the style of a mini-drama and set in modern locations, over 35 actors and celebrities recite poems that capture the emotions and passions of love, from the heady days of seduction to the pain of breaking up.

I really liked this DVD. The poems were really "to fall in love with". I appreciated very much that all poems had English sub-titles.

This is the fifth time I have bought this DVD. It is so good that I give it to friends, hoping that they, too, will appreciate the power of poetry presented with sensitivity, understanding and wit.

4.0 out of 5 stars If you don't like poetry, try this .... 28 July 2010
By Rosemary
Format:DVD
I enjoyed this very much, and I think it's an excellent way of bringing poetry to people like me who rarely read it. It's a particular delight to hear the poems read by professionals who really know how to do it, and I found the little stories being played out (extremely well by some excellent actors) very helpful in giving context to the poetry.

Two minor things - I felt that Ms Godwin sometimes lost the balance between older and more modern poets, veering rather more towards the latter than I would have liked, but that is subjective and a matter of personal taste. More important was that unfortunately, I found Ms Godwin's commentaries intrusive, and the inclusion of details of her personal life unnecessary. Personally, I would have preferred to have her introduce each section rather than each and every poem, and then stand back and let the poetry speak for itself.
