Thank you Martin! This is a subject in which I'm very interested. It's just terribly unfortunate that Ben and David Crystal decided to call it "Original Pronunciation"-- it smacks so much of "Authentic Performance" that I'd much rather hear "OP" called "historically informed pronunciation". I'd also note that the "r"s of Elizabethan London would not have been rolled, but would have been pronounced as the "pirate r", [ù], and not the trill or tap ([r] and [þ] respectively.)
