Patrick Stewart Performs the Complete Sonnets of William Shakespeare
When stages went dark during the Covid crisis, all sorts of impromptu performances popped up online. Patrick Stewart’s pandemic hobby was to recite one Shakespeare sonnet each day on social media – a project inspired by him reading one to his wife over dinner. Now, all 154 from the 1609 quarto are collected on Audible – including Stewart’s favourite, Sonnet 116 (Let me not to the marriage of true minds). Almost four hours long, the recording includes his personal commentaries. Available from 7 April.
