This #NationalShakespeareDay, we're wondering... what does Shakespeare mean to the world? We asked a group of students who have come from all over the globe to study drama in the birthplace of the bard. Watch their wise, thoughtful and insightful answers here, and then enjoy their performance of All The World's A Stage at https://inversefilms.co.uk/ 🌍️
A glimpse behind the scenes of the making of THE STRANGER'S CASE. "This was one of the most moving days of shooting of my career," says inVerse director #JackJewers. "The fact that the refugee footage resonated so closely with star Yasin Morad's own experience made it a very powerful experience."

THEY THAT HAVE THE POWER TO HURT performed by Cerys Matthews
Voiced with spine-tingling power by Cerys Matthews, this found footage short turns a Shakespearean sonnet that’s usually seen as love poem into a searing critique of violence and corruption.

OUR REVELS NOW ARE ENDED performed by Amber Anderson
Hauntingly narrated by Amber Anderson, this film paints a chillingly beautiful portrait of the isolation of life during lockdown – and the feeling of liberation when it was over. “And our little life is rounded with a sleep…”

THE STRANGER'S CASE performed by Crystal Clarke
Shakespeare wrote this impassioned defence of refugees, but never saw it performed in his lifetime. Voiced by Crystal Clarke and with a stunning central performance from Yasin Morad, who came to the UK as a refugee, this intensely moving film rings as true today as Shakespeare’s words did in 1593.

ST CRISPIN'S DAY performed by Eliza Butterworth
Movingly performed by Eliza Butterworth, the third film in the inVerse series draws a line between the bravery of the Ukrainian people and Shakespeare’s rousing words of courage from Henry V – the most famous battle cry in all of fiction.

ALL THE WORLD'S A STAGE
Shakespeare is for everyone. So when a group of young actors from different parts of the world came together to recite the same passage, it seemed like a great idea. There’s just one catch: no one’s told them they’re meant to be doing it in their own language…

#TRAILER ALERT! #InVerse Series 2: Lovers and Madmen is going ON TOUR and we can't wait to share it with you. You can find all the tour dates on our website. In the meantime, here's a little something to whet your appetite... https://inversefilms.co.uk/
The Look
The Romans knew how to have a good time. The last of the five inVERSE films explores themes of rejecting false nostalgia about the past, and embracing the richness of the modern age. To us, it sounded like a celebration of inclusivity and tolerance. It was written 2,000 years ago by the poet Ovid. Of course, he was writing about a very different age to our own, but the message holds as true today as it always has been. And what more fabulous harbingers of this message than Drag Queens United?
Directed by Jack Jewers. Each episode of inVERSE takes one of the world’s oldest poems and reimagines it for the modern age.
All five films are available to watch NOW for free at inversefilm.uk
Long Wall
The poignant feelings of separation and loss in this poem echo across the centuries. Though the words were written over 2,000 years ago, to us they seemed to evoke an image of refugees, far from home.
Starring Sophia Eleni. Directed by Jack Jewers. Each episode of inVERSE takes one of the world’s oldest poems and reimagines it for the modern age.
All five films are available to watch NOW on our website inversefilm.uk
My Heart
Those giddy, dizzy feelings you can get when you really like somebody are nothing new. 'My Heart' is based on a poem from ancient Mesopotamia that proves just that.
Starring Joanne Chew. Directed by Jack Jewers. Each episode of inVERSE takes one of the world’s oldest poems and reimagines it for the modern age.
All five films are available to watch NOW on our website inversefilm.uk
The Dawn
A rallying cry for hope in a turbulent age. ‘The Dawn’ is based on ‘Salutation to the Dawn’ by the Sanskrit poet Kālidāsa. ‘Today, well lived, makes every yesterday a dream of happiness. And every tomorrow a vision of hope…'
Each episode of inVERSE takes one of the world’s oldest poems and reimagines it for the modern age. ‘The Dawn’ is directed by Jack Jewers. Narration by Emma Kniebe. All five films are available to watch NOW on our website inversefilm.uk
Love Song
A timeless declaration of love and desire, that feels as fresh today as it did when it was written - a long, long time ago.
Directed by award-winning filmmaker Jack Jewers. Narration by Adam Roche. ALL films are available to watch NOW on our website inversefilm.uk
