U.K. company tries accents of Shakespeare's time

A theatre company in London, England, will become the first in about 350 years to stage a complete Shakespearean play in its original pronunciation.

I found this bit interesting: "Block says the production's 14 actors picked up the accent with relative ease, putting the play back in touch with its richness of sound. The actors also find they are speaking their lines faster and making them more conversational."
