Judi Dench has returned to a Shakespearean role she played 50 years ago in a new video.
The actor recited excerpts from Portia’s “the quality of mercy” speech from The Merchant of Venice in the clip posted on Twitter by Jade Anouka.
She appears alongside Harriet Walter, Paapa Essiedu, Paterson Joseph, Meera Syal, Kobna Holdbrook-Smith and Simone Kirby to deliver the monologue about the power of kindness.
