Judi Dench reveals she can still remember Shakespeare but not ‘what I’m doing tomorrow’

In a new interview, the Oscar winner talked about ageing and losing her eyesight, days ahead of her 91st birthday on Tuesday.

“I can’t remember what I am doing tomorrow, I swear to you,” Dench told Radio Times.

The actor said she felt “lucky to still be able to remember great reams of Shakespeare”, which she has been performing her whole life.

In 2012, Dench revealed she had age-related macular degeneration, a degenerative eye condition .

While the condition doesn’t cause total blindness, it can make doing everyday activities quite difficult.

Dench described her condition as a “crusher” and said she missed being able to watch the television.

“Well, I miss seeing Clive Myrie doing Mastermind but I can hear the questions,” she said, explaining that her eyes were now in the “wet” stage
