What did Shakespeare's accent sound like and what can we learn from hearing and speaking his works in that accent? And with no recordings or transcriptions available to us, how do we know?

Actor and author Ben Crystal ('Shakespeare's Words', 'Shakespeare on Toast') explores the fascinating 400 year old sound of Shakespeare's plays and sonnets.

This presentation hosted by the University of Otago on 7 June 2017 was made possible with the help of Dawn Sanders of the Shakespeare Globe Centre New Zealand (SGCNZ).
