The Passionate Shepherd to His Love | Media Adaptations
A recitation of “The Passionate Shepherd to His Love” is included in the 1995 film Richard III, directed by Richard Loncraine and starring Ian McKellen and Annette Bening. In an early sequence of the film, Marlowe’s poem is set to music and sung in a 1930s big-band rendition. Since so many early Elizabethan lyrical poems were meant to be sung, setting Marlowe’s poem to music is in keeping with its poetic origin. The film is available in VHS or DVD format.
