Disappearing London - Red Phone Box

What’s it like to speak Shakespeare around the globe?

As we celebrate the 450th anniversary of Shakespeare’s birth, UK actor, author and producer Ben Crystal relates what it’s like to speak the work of a playwright who has contributed so many new words and phrases to the English language. 

You can also attend the English Language Council Lecture with Ben Crystal in London or watch it as a live-stream (both free registration) on 12 February. The lecture is presented by the English-Speaking Union and the British Council in partnership.
