Simon Schama: Full session
The historian takes us on his journey of fascination with all things Shakespearean which was set alight when he first saw Henry V as a child, leading to a triumphant if somewhat squeeky recital at his primary school, aged nine.
Full of insight and passion, Schama engages with context as well as trivia, starting the session with a song from Kiss Me Kate, allowing us all to brush up on our Shakespeare.
