Waste of Shame, A
- Synopsis
- A drama exploring the ‘love triangle’ described in Shakespeare’s sonnets - the identity of the Dark Lady, the Fair Youth and Mr WH. Writer William Boyd comments, "the lustful, misogynistic tone of the Dark Lady sonnets seems to me to lead naturally to the conclusion that she might have been a prostitute".

MK7 6AA - Notes
- NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
