What would Shakespeare think of 21st-century language?

Would he lament its ‘destruction’, or applaud its many innovations? Shakespeare, after all, is believed to have invented over 2,000 words and phrases we still use today – is there really any harm in a hashtag here and there?

Come spend an evening with a powerhouse panel as Shakespeare’s words come roaring off the page to spar with the modern vernacular. Prepare to be #shooketh.
