Posted Hide Post It'll be the last show of the season, so it'll run mid June to the beginning of July. Check the website for more info. Being a history, I don't know how well it'll sell, so you may have a decent shot at seats. But go the first weekend, before the show at the Park starts, if you want to get decent parking. ******************************** The only really sane person in there is Igor, and possibly the turnip.

Posted Hide Post I'm in the "don't know, don't care" camp. My favourite is Coriolanus. The best one I saw was with Toby Stephens in 1994, which was just... wonderful. Most of the other productions I've seen have been great, too, but I got rather put off my Coriolanus-collecting by seeing a preview of Ralph Fiennes' version in 2000, which was a dead ringer for Leonard Rossiter and was conducted entirely in SHOUTING. *********************** There once was a bard of Hong Kong Who thought limericks were too long. - Gerard Benson.

Posted Hide Post I didn't see Coriolanus in 2000, but I saw Fiennes' Richard II and was quite moved by his petulant king. My sister got the best deal, though - Ralph Fiennes told her to "make it quick, darling." One of those wonderful quotes when plucked out of its context. (It was in answer to her question whether she could take a photo of him with her.) __________ We scraped along like rats, but now we will soar like eagles… eagles on pogo sticks!

Posted Hide Post I was horribly disappointed, as I'd always admired Fiennes until then. I'd seen his Hamlet, which I'd really enjoyed, and much of his TV and film stuff is pretty good, too. (BTW - I saw in the 'news' recently that a flight attendant has just been sacked for having sex with him in a business class aeroplane toilet - classy....) *********************** There once was a bard of Hong Kong Who thought limericks were too long. - Gerard Benson.

Posted Hide Post Then again, if Fiennes did Coriolanus that badly, then he was directed badly. It's not as if actors come up with what they do on their own. (Unless, of course, he's got such a huge ego that he chose to do a one-note screaming Coriolanus. Then again, he's varied enough in his other acting.) __________ We scraped along like rats, but now we will soar like eagles… eagles on pogo sticks!

Posted Hide Post Spider would have been fine (love that movie)! But the whole Rising Damp vibe really didn't work... I even saw Charles Dance do Coriolanus an age ago, and I expected it to be terrible - just a bit of cheesecake (and the reviews weren't good). But it worked unexpectedly well, and I really enjoyed that one, too. *********************** There once was a bard of Hong Kong Who thought limericks were too long. - Gerard Benson.

Posted Hide Post Macbeth's my favourite Shakespeare play, at least of the ones I've seen/read. The best production I saw of it, was an outdoor production in Canada. Luckily the weather was pretty decent. The highlight of the production was the "Birnam wood shall come to Dunsinane" bit, where a whole army of actors holding branches stood up on the cliff top about half a mile away from where the rest of the performance was. It was timed so that they were sillouetted against the setting sun, and was very dramatic!

Posted Hide Post Othello really spoke to me, especially in my first year of University when we actually learned it. I have read Hamlet and watched a production of it by a friend's father playwright. I remember reading A Midsummer Night's Dream, then watching a newer film version of it in theatre, and writing a bonus paper on it. But of all of them, The Tempest sounds like a play I could really get into. That is next on the list somewhere. ______________________________ Do not leave me with a bowl of anything for an extended period of time.
