Performance, Plague, and Politics in Shakespeare's London

Help us make the first feature film ever made (that we know of) spoken entirely in Original Pronunciation, the accent of Shakespeare: https://igg.me/at/sudburydevil/x/15029872#/ Did William Shakespeare write King Lear under quarantine? That is the question. In this video I introduce you to the actor's process in Elizabethan theater; dive deep into first-hand accounts of the bubonic plague epidemics that Shakespeare lived through; explore the politics of late 16th and early 17th century England, onstage and off; and discuss OP, Original Early Modern English Pronunciation, the accent and dialect in which the Bard's plays were originally performed. The rest is silence.
