Talking Shakespeare With David Tennant

Like many other performers and venues, the Royal Shakespeare Company has had to adjust to life without performance for now. Their solutions? Past performances streamed on the BBC, open-air performances in Stratford-upon-Avon and Gregory Doran’s Talking Shakespeare series.
