POSSIBLY THE BEST SHAKESPEAREAN ACTRESS
She is such a master of performance 🎭
Haha the sip of wine at the end was iconic
This is very good, spectacular cadence & the right bit of emphasis as the proper places.
Focus on her eyes if you can. This is a genius performance.
A true master of Shakespeare!!! Wow!!
Nobody can compete with Eileen!
Iago's motivation: Othello bedded his wife and in this scene she not only admits it, she blames Iago for it.
Whoa. She asks the questions but to make her point. Realistic and scary. Whoa. Don’t mess with her! And you can see that she has been thinking this for quite some time.
I'm so impressed! Bravo
Eileen Atkins just chilling
Damn - incredible acting
DAMN! MIC DROP!
Great job. 👏
Perfect. Fresh, too.
Sublime!
The white wine made it 10x better
Brava!
Whats crazy is that in 2018 men still act the same way and William wrote this centuries ago .
Greek plays still hold up too, and for the same reason. People are people.
Aristophanes, an ancient Greek playwright some 2400 years ago, sometimes called the Father of Comedy, wrote such gems as "under every stone lurks a politician"
"Youth ages, immaturity is outgrown, ignorance can be educated, and drunkenness sobered, but stupid lasts forever."
"Look at the orators in our republics; as long as they are poor, both state and people can only praise their uprightness; but once they are fattened on the public funds, they conceive a hatred for justice, plan intrigues against the people and attack the democracy." (And boy doesn't this one seem super relevant about now?)
He also may have invented the fart joke. Or at least popularised it.
Tl;dr Society changes, but human nature has stayed largely the same for millenia.
Bravo, madam. Quite eloquent.
if class were a person, it would be Eileen Atkins
I have a Shakespeare solo from Othello. Can I send the link?
❤
That bistro is noisy, though.
Loved this ✨ my fave scene 😍
Check out my monologue of Emilia and let me know what you think 🎭
What is fiction?
Lies wrapped tightly by truths...
What is Non-Fiction?
Truths wrapped tightly by lies...
What is NICTION?
Lies and Truths wrapped tightly to tell an interesting story.
So women are just like men in their likes and desires, but it is men's fault when women fail. I think that is called passing the buck, or maybe in this case passing the shilling.
@@tetrakis7755 Mayhap kissing up to Queen Elizabeth and her court? Been known to happen...
I like this. It's like she's having a real girl chat, sharing her wisdom. So natural!
