To mark the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death, we asked leading actors to perform key speeches from his plays. Here, Damian Lewis performs Antony’s lines from Act III, Scene 2 of Julius Caesar. Antony has been granted permission to speak at Caesar’s funeral so long as he does not implicate the conspirators in his death, but he skilfully turns the crowd against them.

Ralph Fiennes performs Richard, Duke of Gloucester’s soliloquy from Henry VI, Part III. Fiennes is starring in Rupert Goold’s production of Richard III at the Almeida theatre, London. Richard III was the first Almeida Theatre Live broadcast in partnership with Picturehouse Entertainment. It was seen in cinemas around the world.
