David Tennant and “the magic of Shakespeare”

Available for over a year

David Tennant says Shakespearean roles are like Olympic events for an actor. He’s presently rehearsing for Macbeth - one of 18 plays that would have disappeared if, seven years after Shakespeare’s death, the actors John Heminges and Henry Condell hadn't published their friend's greatest plays in the First Folio. That was 400 years ago. In the latest episode of our 5 Minutes On podcast - the BBC's Culture Editor, Katie Razzall, has been speaking to the actor about this milestone and his rehearsals before he returns to the stage.
