Bertram Joseph and Franklyn Kelsey discuss and illustrate the style of Elizabethan dramatic verse speaking
Mr. Joseph has put forward the view that the style of Elizabethan acting can best be approached from a study of the various Renaissance authorities on oratory and rhetoric. In this programme Mr. Kelsey, following Mr. Joseph's direction. will attempt to produce for modern ears a near equivalent to what Elizabethans experienced from the same words and rhythms.
