@vonskippy This is not the first to stage a Shakespeare play in its original pronunciation. In 2005, the linguist David Crystal published a book about a similar experiment in the Globe Theatre in London: "Pronouncing Shakespeare: The Globe Experiment" (Cambridge University Press). David Crystal's book describes the research on the Early Modern English sound system, how the actors coped with the task of learning the pronunciation (which included the use of their own dialects!), how it affected their performances and how the audiences reacted.
