Sir Derek Jacobi in Conversation with Richard Clifford

Sir Derek Jacobi is an icon of stage and screen, known for his work at the Royal National Theatre, and holds a BAFTA, Olivier, Emmy, Screen Guild and Tony Award. With peers such as Ian McKellen and Trevor Nunn, and as one of the founding members of the National Theatre, Derek is an enormous talent with Shakespeare running through his blood.

Six decades and so many favourites… such as ‘I, Claudius’, ‘Gladiator I’, ‘Gladiator II’, ‘Last Tango in Halifax’, ‘The Crown’, ‘The Day of the Jackal’, ‘Nanny McPhee’, ‘Gosford Park’, The King’s Speech’ and much inbetween.

His Shakespeare work is vast with notable performances in ‘Hamlet’ and ‘Othello’ to name a few. And not to forget, his audio book work as the narrator for the BBC children's series ‘In the Night Garden’. An incredible body of work.
