What's on this week...

Every week, we aim to keep you updated with Language and Literature-related programmes (whether on television or radio) and relevant theatre productions. Here's what's coming up in the next week or so:

Television
English Language students may be interested in a new BBC2 series hosted by the comedian and actor Stephen Fry. Called Fry's Planet Word, the five-part series explores linguistic achievements and how our skills for the spoken word have developed. If it's as good as his recent BBC Radio 4 series, it'll definitely be worth staying in for...(or catching up on iPlayer.)
Fry's Planet Word begins on Sunday September 25th at 9pm, on BBC2.

Theatre 
Fans of Shakespeare may like to know that there are a couple of productions running in London theatres: 
The Tempest is currently on at Theatre Royal Haymarket until 29th October;
Hamlet begins its run at the Young Vic from 28th October – 21st January 2012 - and stars the rather wonderful Michael Sheen as the tormented protagonist.
