Shakespeare plays and sonnets performed using 400-year-old Original Pronunciation.

This video demonstrates why historically informed performance can be so illuminating.  Puns and lewd jokes, hidden in RP, leap out when performed in certain versions of OP.  Rhymes that don’t work in RP, do in OP: love vs. prove, speak vs. break, etc.  The ca. 1600 OP is so rich sounding; I would love to hear a production using it!

HBBO asked about unexpected “classics”.  Here’s one.

YIIIIS. I use this in class and lost the video and now here that motherfucker is!

This is why Chaucer ought to be chanted in Middle English as well.
