Shakespeare Subtitle Project

Translating the works of Shakespeare into modern language subtitles, with comedic touches that do not detract from the meaning. Click the poster image for the video.

If you already have a digital copy of the movie, the link to the subtitle file is below the image.

Some films (well actually, just one so far) have a link below that for the film with the “teacher’s edition subtitles” which do not have any swearing and include more recent slang.

If any teachers out there want to use this as a teaching tool, the subtitles can be edited to fit your needs. If you email your edited subtitles to me, I will post a new link to the film with your subtitles.

Romeo + Juliet Subtitles

Coming Soon!

How to use the subtitles:
1. You will need a digital file of the movie with a file format such as .mp4, .mkv, .avi, etc.
2. add the subtitle file to the same folder as the movie file.
3. rename the subtitle file to match the movie file name exactly. (file extensions will still be different)
4. Play the video file with a video player, such as VLC. or copy the folder to a thumb drive, to play from your TV.
5. If the subtitles do not play automatically, you may have to activate subtitles from the video player menu.
