and now for something completely different

Working with Mendes on the BBC's "epic film versions" of Richard II, Henry IV part I and II, and Henry V will be some of British theatre's leading lights, including Sir Richard Eyre, Simon Russell Beale and Rupert Goold, director of Enron....The four plays have not been adapted by the corporation for TV since 1978 and 1979, during the BBC Television Shakespeare project, which brought the playwright's entire body of theatre work to screen over seven years. They will be broadcast on BBC2 and are part of a £10m season in 2012 to celebrate Shakespeare, which includes a live broadcast of another play, yet to be revealed.

MY TETRALOGY IS GOING TO BE ON TEEVEE. THIS FILLS ME WITH GREAT GLEE.

(I wonder then if Simon Russell Beale is playing Falstaff? Because HOW COOL WOULD THAT BE.)
