WHERE WORDS PREVAIL

Cicely Berry, voice director, Royal Shakespeare Company was talking today on the BBC Radio 4 Midweek programme, hosted by Libby Purves. Audio link is here.


She stated that one of her favorite quotes is from Thomas Kyd’s play The Spanish Tragedy which is an Elizabethan play of the mid 16th century:



“Where words prevail not, violence prevails.”
