| Romeo & Juliet |
Not long ago, I posted a short video about the way the English language has changed over the centuries.
I raised the question about how understandable Shakespeare’s English would be to modern audiences: not only in the sense of unfamiliar words and phrases but also in terms of the sounds.
Lo and behold, wandering through YouTube at some point when I probably should have been working on the WIP, I found the answer as well as more glimpses of what goes on at the new Globe theater.

why, it's not so different to north Suffolk/south Norfolk/Waveney valley but spoken a bit faster
Absolutely fascinating. Thanks so much for posting this.
That was so interesting. I love Shakespeare and found the new way of looking at the verse to be stunning. It's almost a new language to be learned. Makes me almost wish I had another life to live where I could immerse myself in all this at The Globe. Wow, hog heaven!
