#10 Tim McInnerny
Tim McInnerny, Lord Percy Percy of Blackadder and Simon Gould in 10 Percent, finishes off the series with a discussion about William Shakespeare's Richard II. He explains to Lucy why it's more important to understand the rhythm of Shakespeare's verse than understanding the meaning of all the words; he talks to Lucy about the experience of being part of a cult comedy such as Blackadder and why playing Hamlet is more about the actor than it is about the part.
Hosted by Lucy Eaton, theatre producer and West End & screen actress best known for her role as Lucy in hit comedy ‘Staged’. Other episodes include Toby Stephens, Richard Eyre, Sanjeev Bhaskar and Joanna Vanderham.
