As the world marks the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death, leading British actor Sir Ian McKellen launches the app 'Heuristic Shakespeare - The Tempest’ and tells Weekend's Julian Worricker about his own early encounters with the Bard's work. The app is aimed both at school students learning about Shakespeare for the first time, or anyone who wants to have a better understanding of his work.
