Is this a podcast I see before me?

Lovers of The Bard can enjoy a film and podcast commissioned by Bury Libraries to mark the 400^th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death.

The artist Yan Tan Tethera performs as Professor Jigget, reciting extracts from two of Shakespeare’s plays in his unique and hilarious style. These extracts, from Hamlet and The Tempest, are delivered in both original Shakespearean and the Professor’s modern translation.

Take a look at the video and podcast:
