Start of The 91福利社 Television Shakespeare 3 December 1978
On 3 December 1978 the 91福利社 began its ambitious plan to broadcast a television version of each of Shakespeare's 37 plays, starting with Romeo and Juliet. The project was devised by Cedric Messina and took seven years to complete. The Bard's most obscure and rarely performed works got equal treatment to his best known plays, and the 91福利社 built a comprehensive resource that was widely used in schools, boosted by the new popularity of video recorders.
