Hidden Shakespeare author Nick Fogg, who is attending Shakespeare’s 450th anniversary celebrations in his native Stratford-upon-Avon this weekend, is appearing today (Friday) on German TV talking about the Bard.
He was in London on Wednesday when he was contacted by a German TV station, which had covered a lecture he gave at The Globe Theatre, in London, and also the Marlborough International Jazz Festival, of which he is the director.
“It’s the equivalent of Channel 4 or BBC2,” he told Marlborough News Online. “They took me to the Shakespeares (sic) Head tavern in Great Marlborough Street where they were going to film. But an American TV crew had the same idea.
“So we went to the north end of the Millenium Bridge, overlooking the Thames towards the Globe Theatre and filmed there. And they asked me some very good questions about Shakespeare’s overall contribution to human civilisation.”
The hour-long programme is being broadcast in Germany this afternoon.
