Description
Theatre royalty Sir Richard Eyre joins the show to discuss Shakespeare’s King Lear, in particular the ‘Come, let's away to prison’ speech. Why does he believe it's the most beautiful language in all of Shakespeare? Who did it best: Ian Holme or Anthony Hopkins? Do actors need to have experienced something to act it? And do you really acquire wisdom and ease in older age? Richard and Lucy get into it all in this deep-dive episode into the joys and curses of Shakespeare, directing and the theatre industry. Hosted by Lucy Eaton, theatre producer and West End & screen actress best known for her role as Lucy in hit comedy ‘Staged’. Other episodes include Goodness Gracious Me’s Sanjeev Bhaskar, Blackadder’s Tim McInnerny and James Bond’s Toby Stephens.
