Text work on blank verse from Much Ado About Nothing Voice

    • Performing Arts

Chris Saul works with Jeannette Nelson, the National's Head of Voice, on a speech delivered by the Friar in Much Ado About Nothing. It's a speech Chris didn't know, and had to work on hard to understand. By reading through the verse by doing an exercise involving patting his knee on possible beats, which might be accentuated, Chris is able to help convey this meaning to the audience.
