Lisa Harrow and Benjamin Henson - Pop-Up Shakespeare

From Sunday Morning, 11:05 am on 28 February 2016

400 years after the death of William Shakespeare - the bard is in town. An exact replica of the famous Globe theatre has sprung up in Auckland, where a series of Shakespeare plays are being performed. British director Benjamin Henson and Kiwi actress Lisa Harrow join Wallace to talk about their interpretation of The Tempest and why it is - 400 years on - that Shakespeare remains as relevant today as he did in his own era.
