Ben and David Crystal

YEOVIL LITERARY FESTIVAL 2023 EVENT

BEN AND DAVID CRYSTAL: EVERYDAY SHAKESPEARE, LINES FOR LIFE
Westlands, Wheeldon Suites 2&3

In their new book, Everyday Shakespeare: Lines for Life, the Crystals – son and father – gather the finest lines from lesser-known corners of Shakespeare’s plays and poems. Together they create an entertaining trove of trivia, miscellaneous facts, historical context and opportunities for reflection:

'Better three hours too soon than a minute too late.'
'Make not your thoughts your prisons.'
'Wisely and slow. They stumble that run fast.'

Join the Bard and two of his biggest advocates to revel in the joy of language and the wondrous complexities of life. Ben Crystal is an actor, author, and creative producer and explorer of original practices in Shakespeare rehearsal and production. He is an Associate Artist at the Shakespeare North Playhouse, and a patron of Shakespeare Week. David Crystal, OBE, is known throughout the world as a writer, editor, lecturer, and broadcaster on language.
