On Much Ado About Nothing

This most excellent play, and the film mentioned below, has MUCH of value:
  • The language of Shakespeare
  • The scenery of Italy
  • The work of a local lad made good.
Kenneth Branagh, born 10 December 1960, is a Belfast actor, director and producer. His account of his early years, now 25 years old, describes growing up in the York Road area of North Belfast.
He has directed or starred in several film adaptations of William Shakespeare's plays - plus much else that had great success on the local, national and international stage.
Look on YouTube for this recent upload: it has the text as captions.

On Good Vibrations

This film includes a lot of scenes set in and around Donegall Street in Belfast.

Read more about the film here (Wikipedia) and here (BBC).
