About this listen

Are you a fan of 'Withnail and I' and do you remember Richard E Grant and the brilliant, but sombre ending, set in the pouring rain? 
 This Episode concerns that famous speech from Hamlet where he describes his latest mood to his ‘excellent good friends’ Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. 

Hamlet begins: 'I have of late, but wherefore I know not, lost all my mirth'. 

 Part 1 examines the construction of the speech and how to memorize its 'skeleton' and in Part 2, the extra words are added to memorize this classic speech 'Word for Word'.
