Trevor Nunn, Samantha Bond and Derek Jacobi

Michael is joined by director Trevor Nunn and actors Samantha Bond and Derek Jacobi.

Michael Ball presents his Sunday show featuring listener interaction, great music and special guests.

This week he's joined by acclaimed director Sir Trevor Nunn. Trevor has almost completed his ambitious challenge of directing all 37 of Shakespeare's plays. In the 400th year since Shakespeare's death, he chats to Michael about his new production of King John.

Michael also welcomes Sir Derek Jacobi and Samantha Bond to the studio. They are coming together with a host of performers for A Right Royal Knees Up, a celebration of the Queen's 90th birthday. They'll be telling Michael what's in store for the event.
