OP at Shakespeare’s Globe for OU
Spent a fine morning being filmed running around the Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre with Dad: he explaining the origins of the Original Pronunciation experiments, me acting some examples.
Performed excerpts from Henry V, Romeo & Juliet, As You Like It, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and all of Sonnet 116 – which sounds SO different in Shakespeare’s accent – then were interviewed about our work together.
All for an Open University film. Lovely to work with Dad again. Lovely to be back in that terrific space.
Now to Poland to give a series of Shakespeare talks, Ash Cloud permitting… (has it really been capitalised?)
