To be, or not to be… hip hop and Shakespeare

Sunday night with Nikki Tapper

Available for over a year

Is putting Shakespeare to a hip hop soundtrack to appeal to BME kids racist? A youth worker from London says it is, and used his speech at the Conservative Party Conference to attack people who he says 'dumb down Shakespeare' in this way. Joe Aldred and Nikki Tapper discussed this issue on 91¸£ÀûÉç WM's Chatback Show with Dr Lorna Cork, a senior education advisor at Birmingham City Council, with a love of the English Language.
