    I love the "here, cousin" like he is calling a naughty dog. It's wonderfully mocking. The reluctance letting go of the crown is superbly contemporary and human.

      But the audience reaction was terrible.
      Why the laughter. ?
      It's not funny.
      Hollow crown version is the true masterpiece of this. I get films different, but this seemed rushed.
      If you know the history you know.

      @@rajaharrag667 It means that while Richard is intelligent, he lives in his own fantasy world, unable or unwilling to see that his actions have serious consequences for himself and others. Perhaps because he's never had to deal with the real world, or just doesn't want to. He's like an immature, dramatic teenager who acts like they're the star of their own tv soap opera.

    I believe Tennant nailed the element of Richard that wallows in self-indulgent word-play and drama. By finding the humour in Richard's pathetic need for ceremonial and cathartic language and behaviour, he tricked the audience into sympathizing with him perhaps more than we'd initially intended. The moments where his cold aloofness suddenly failed him (ie. later on in this scene, and during the III.ii speech, for example), and we saw his raw humanity exposed in all its hurt, anger, and fear, were thus able to hit home like a straight-right to the gut. Frankly, I can't wait for the DVD!

    • @mzytryck

      Well said. I like this version a lot more than Ben Whishaw's Hollow Crown one, because Whishaw played him as such a wimp that it was embarrassing (both for the other characters and the audience) to watch his self-indulgent whining, whereas Tennant provokes exasperation because, annoying as he may be, he has enough presence and charisma that you want to watch him anyway.
      Don't get me wrong, I think Whishaw's interpretation was a perfectly good one for the character, and he portrayed Richard's total unworthiness for authority perfectly, but I prefer a Richard who has the force of personality to command attention despite your dislike for him, rather than a simpering nonentity you'd rather ignore.

I'll have to see if I can catch the King and Country Cycle in London - I have enough time, but not quite so much money - I'd love to see how different it'll be from last time. That apart I love him, and I will defend him against everyone who says a bad word about him.

    David Tennant's interpretation is totally different than Ben Whishaw's. I don't see why one has to be better, or worse than the other. Each has their own style. I was not able to get to London in time to see Tennant live, but am really looking forward to the DVD/Blu-Ray being released in a couple of weeks so I can see the rest of it. This clip is brilliant!

The worst section is the 'aye.no.' section - he physically cannot bring himself to give up the crown even though he knows he has to. People who don't understand the scene always titter during it and it's so annoying!

    Sorry, Jeremy T, I don't see any frivolity here. Of course Richard II is not a comedy, but that doesn't mean it doesn't contain comic characters and comic moments. York is arguably a comic character; the Duchess of York certainly is. This is a very tense scene, so a little release at the start on the audience's part is understandable; the tension is already building before the end of this clip and no doubt continues to build as the scene continues. I'm going to see it in three weeks at the Barbican, so then I'll be able to judge properly. Looking forward to it.

    This isn't a whole lot different than the way Derek Jacobi played the scene--the abdication is dispassionate and formal. People who haven't seen the whole play aren't getting much of a picture of the intense emotion that comes before and after. They certainly shouldn't judge the performance as a whole from this five minute segment of a three hour play.

      They are laughing at the way Tennant calls Henry to take the crown, he does it playfully, almost patronising his cousin. It is a well timed bit of comic relief to break the tension and a clever interpretation by the actor. I don't think it demands 'dead silence' If something is funny, the audience should laugh. A well directed play will offer many such devices. The target audience for this production is broad and includes a great many young students. It is a very good production.

    Old care done and new care won. Its fascinating because there are two very different states of rule here. Richard had lineage and status quo, a king keeping what he had always had. Henry is the new man in the arena, he will never be able to rule as a king born to rule can, forever shadowed by the usurpation. Richard was the latest in a long royal line and his kingship was a natural and ordered divine gift, Henry's kingship was unnatural, born of kindred blood spilled, and doubtful in the eyes of heaven.

      Giang Huynh I totally agree with you. I mean, that's the consequence of playing such a culturally popular character. You can't really play any other part without The Doctor lurking behind it. They're also probably laughing because they're trying to interpret the language. The repetition and "physical comedy" allows them to understand what's going on.

    • @sallyatticum
      @sallyatticum 7 років тому +6

      They absolutely played it for laughs. It was even funnier in the revival two years later. Richard was mocking Bolingbroke. He was very sarcastic and showing how foolish he was.

    • @heliotropezzz333
      @heliotropezzz333 6 років тому +12

      I saw this at the theatre. They were not laughing because they were remembering that he played Dr Who. Theatre fans know he's played lots of theatre roles. Laughter is close to sadness and tears. People laughed at any bit of humour to be found because it relieved the tension. There is tragic humour in it because Richard II speeches are tragic but at the same time Richard II is such a drama Queen, drawing as much drama and pathos out of the situation as he can. This is in stark contrast to Bolingbroke (Henry IV to be) who is a bluff unimaginative tough practical military man. Richard is losing in this scene but still seems to dance rings around Bolingbroke in his loss. Bolingbroke doesn't quite know how to react at times.

      It's shakespeare. He was interested in good theatre (and the biases/sensibilities/politics of his day) he didnt care about accuracy. If you want proper history read a book

      I think I preferred Ben Wishaw's interpretation too, but maybe it's not a fair comparison, since TV and stage acting involve significantly different techniques?
      I did see this production at the Barbican and there were many things about it I enjoyed; but there was one thing that to a certain extent spoiled it for me; that was the portrayal of Bolingbroke as little more than a thug, a bruiser. That's not Shakespeare's Bolingbroke at all; yes, he is politically ruthless, but he is far from unfeeling and there is, or should be, a whole subtext of affection, soured maybe but affection all the same, between Bolingbroke and Richard which this production did not explore at all.
      If you want to see Bolingbroke done properly, then look at Rory Kinnear's superb interpretation opposite Ben Wishaw in 'The Hollow Crown'.

      Fair enough, "properly" was a bad choice of word. Of course directors and actors make choices; sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. This one just didn't work for me.

    The audience reaction to, "here cousin" is terrible & baffling.
    Why the laughter. ?
    It's not funny.
    Hollow crowns version is a true masterpiece of this particular scene.
    I get film is different, but this (theatre) seemed rushed.
    If you know the history you know.

      The other version I mentioned just seemed more dramatic. But I get it.
