Scottish actor and TV staple Mark Bonnar gets down and dirty with 'Hamlet', in particular the "Rogue and peasant slave" speech from Act 2, Scene 2: He talks about the intricate beauty of iambic pentameter verse, argues against the common misconception that Shakespeare is inaccessible and explains why he's never played the eponymous character. A far cry from 'Line of Duty' and 'Guilt', this is a truly exceptional stage actor in his theatrical element!Hosted by Lucy Eaton, star of lockdown smash-comedy Staged (BBC/Netflix/Staged), West End actress and theatre producer. Other episodes include The Crown's Freddie Fox, Miranda's Patricia Hodge OBE and Hamilton's Giles Terera.Follow us on Instagram and Twitter at @PodHearMeOut, and watch visual clips from the show on our Youtube channel: https://bit.ly/3l7vRht** Join the family by becoming a Hear Me Out Patreon! www.patreon.com/podhearmeout **A Lucy Eaton Productions podcast.
