Living Shakespeare: Dame Evelyn Glennie on The Tempest (UK)

In this episode, Dame Evelyn Glennie talks us through her unique way of hearing and interpreting Shakespeare’s The Tempest.

As a musician, she hears the sounds in the words of the characters. And as she just happens to be profoundly deaf, this takes on new meaning as she uses her ability to hear with her whole body to explore the ‘sound colours’ in the text.
