Simon Schama

The historian takes us on his journey of fascination with all things Shakespearean.

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 squeaky 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.
