演題: Original Pronunciation Shakespeare — as He would have heard it?

講演アブストラクト:
What did Shakespeare's accent - and that of his actors and audience - sound like? What can we learn from hearing and speaking his works in that accent? And with no recordings or transcriptions available to us, how do we know? Actor and author Ben Crystal (Shakespeare's Words, Shakespeare onToast) explores the fascinating 400 year old sound of Shakespeare's plays and sonnets, Original Pronunciation, showing a world hidden beneath our modern accent readings full of rhyme, rhythm, and a very subtle humour. And a not-so-subtle one too.

BEN CRYSTAL ACTOR / WRITER /PRODUCER

Ben was the co-writer of Shakespeare’s Words (Penguin 2002) and The Shakespeare Miscellany (Penguin 2005) with his father David Crystal. His first solo book, Shakespeare on Toast – Getting a Taste for the Bard (Icon 2008) was shortlisted for the 2010 Educational Writer of the Year Award.

Springboard Shakespeare, a quartet series of introductions for Arden Shakespeare / Bloomsbury - was published June 2013 and An Illustrated Dictionary of Shakespeare was published April 2015 with OUP (writing again with his father) and was shortlisted for the 2016 Educational Writer of the Year Award.

In 2011 he performed the title role in the world contemporary premier of Hamlet in Original Pronunciation, and in 2012 he was the curator and creative director on a CD of Shakespeare in Original Pronunciation for the British Library.

He is a leading voice in original practices, and the artistic director of Passion in Practice and its Shakespeare Ensemble. Together they have performed staged readings in OP of Macbeth, Henry V, and Dr Faustus at the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, Shakespeare’s Globe, and produced cue-script rehearsed sold-out limited-runs of these plays at a Wanamaker-like Loft in London.

In 2015, they performed Pericles in OP at Daniel Harding’s Interplay Festival at the Berwaldhallen in Stockholm. Pericles: Recomposed was raised in three days, underscored by Max Richter’s Four Seasons: Recomposed, and played live by the Trondheim Soloists with violinist Daniel Hope.

In 2016, they performed Twelfth Night at the Middle Temple for the British Council Shakespeare Lives! programme, re-raised Pericles: Recomposed for the Savannah Music Festival, and curated the British Library Shakespeare’s 450th Birthday Night celebrations.

Ben has most recently been invited to present his work in Europe, the USA,
