I was priviledged to play the Chorus in Henry V.
Who the hell disliked this? Seriously. I will find you.
You stir my soul. Thank you
Thank you performers for doing this. You are ALL Muses of Fire.
🎭🔥❤️
This gives me chills. Gives me hope.
Suuuure
You were so good you scorched me!
One of my all time greatest theatre-going experience was The Guthrie’s History Plays. I spent the summer in the rush line, seeing the shows 9, 11, and 12 times, including one glorious day of all three plays in one day. The poster is still hanging on my wall. Thank you, Guthrie.
Great idea, like that it is in black and white. But the sound doesn't sync up with the video. Is anyone else noticing that the mouths move before their lines begin?
Seems to have been fixed.
Sorry, folks, but Shakespeare would roll over in his grave. (Okay; maybe for Mark Rylance--who is usually stunning-- he would just roll his eyes.) The First Folio texts --original printed versions of plays as Shakespeare wrote them--don't have a period at the end of every line! Here's the original: "O For a Muse of Fire, that would ascend /The brightest Heaven of Invention:/ A Kingdome for a Stage, Princes to Act,/and Monarchs to behold the swelling Scene." It's ONE sentence. Line breaks don't mean end-stop, and commas mean "keep going." Capitalized words were his way of telling the actors to emphasize the word one way or another-- not necessarily punching it as most of these actors do. If you doubt my word, study with a Royal Shakespeare Company founder, actors, teachers, and coaches from the RSC and the National Theatre, Ian McKellen, and artistic directors from England's most respected theater companies, like I did. Or try reciting the line as written. No gimmicky renditions necessary.
We all bow to your superior training/knowledge, and will from now on always consult you before even WATCHING a video meant as a fundraiser for a theater where people can study such things, as this video is.
Mark Rylance has it
