Everyday Shakespeare
Manage episode 374928934 series 1301275
Michael Rosen talks to Ben and David Crystal about the Shakespeare quotes we use every day, without even realising.
We’ve all heard someone roll their eyes and say “the lady doth protest too much, me thinks” - or head back to their desk muttering “once more unto the breach!” Shakespeare had a way with words that makes his writing extremely relatable, even today. Ben and David Crystal tell Michael why so many of the bard’s sayings have slipped into our everyday chat.
