azforeman, 
Some more Shakespeare in early 17th century pronunciation
This time it's the end of The Tempest. Dialogue starts at 24 sec in
I gave Prospero a conservative accent based on the dialect recorded by Shakespeare's contemporary Alexander Gil. Alonso has a more innovative dialect
The opening sequence's theme is the sources Shakespeare relied on, including Strachey's 1610 report of a Bermuda shipwreck
