Lesley Jeffries introducing the annual @Babelzine lecturer @bencrystal What a fabulous talk on Shakespeare’s original pronunciation - so entertaining you didn’t notice the thorough grounding in linguistics, theatre and ethics that was underneath. Brilliant

It was absolutely brilliant and you brought Shakespeare to life in a way I’ve never encountered before. My son loved it too, thank you so much.
