The Globe Theatre in London will soon become the first professional
theater company in centuries to stage an entire run of a Shakespeare
play in the original pronunciation. The actors in Troilus and Cressida
will recite their lines with accents that are believed to be close to
what would have been heard in Shakespeare's day. Robert Siegel talks
with actor Peter Forbes, who is playing the role of Pandarus in the
production.
