I Go To Die | Derek Jacobi | Figures of Speech

Derek Jacobi reads I Go To Die, the final speech given by Socrates after he was sentenced to death.
At a time of political turmoil, unprecedented world events and an increasingly divided society, what does inspiring leadership sound like?
Figures of Speech, a major new digital film project for 2017, will interrogate the vitality of speech to remember.
Made in collaboration with the Almeida Theatre.

Sir Derek Jacobi could read my grocery list and I would be enthralled on the edge of my seat.

Sir Derek is spell bindng ! Thank you.
1500 years and mankind has not learned. There will always be repressors. Let there always be those like Sir Derek to keep reminding us of Socrates' words.

Beauty and truth make existence worth keeping. Were it not for art, philosophy, and above all music, I should have taken my life _long_ ago.
