#2 Mark Bonnar

Scottish actor and TV staple Mark Bonnar gets down and dirty with 'Hamlet', in particular the "Rogue and peasant slave" speech from Act 2, Scene 2: He talks about the intricate beauty of iambic pentameter verse, argues against the common misconception that Shakespeare is inaccessible and explains why he's never played the eponymous character. A far cry from 'Line of Duty' and 'Guilt', this is a truly exceptional stage actor in his theatrical element!Hosted by Lucy Eaton, star of lockdown smash-comedy Staged (BBC/Netflix/Staged), West End actress and theatre producer. Other episodes include The Crown's Freddie Fox, Miranda's Patricia Hodge OBE and Hamilton's Giles Terera.Follow us on Instagram and Twitter at @PodHearMeOut, and watch visual clips from the show on our Youtube channel: https://bit.ly/3l7vRht** Join the family by becoming a Hear Me Out Patreon! www.patreon.com/podhearmeout **A Lucy Eaton Productions podcast.

Hear Me Out puts the audience back in the stalls (or, closer still, the rehearsal room), inviting theatre-loving audiences to re-connect with theatre-makers in a unique celebration of language and performance. Hosted by Lucy Eaton, it's the insider chat that audiences would love to have. The format is simple: Lucy asks 'What is your favourite speech?' From the brilliance of the language to the personal anecdotes behind the choice, it’s part Desert Island Discs, part literary analysis and part post-show chat in the theatre bar. Guests include: Denise Gough, Patricia Hodge and Adrian Lester. Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
