Victoria star David Oakes has said he would like to see the lesser known Shakespeare plays taught in schools.
The actor, best known for playing Prince Ernest in the ITV period drama, said an attempt should be made to broaden people’s horizons, rather than just teaching the most popular texts.
“We always had Midsummer Night’s Dream and we had Hamlet, I didn’t do Richard III but you get to know the famous ones.
“I remember going to university and doing Cymbeline for the first time and playing Posthumus and going ‘This is awesome, this is ridiculous’.
