Love's Labour's Won.....

[gness]

...or Much Ado....another fantastic live offering from Stratford by the RSC.

I laughed til I cried....and was thrilled by the acting and the whole production ....the set...the lighting.....it was just stunning.
What a brilliant director Christopher Luscombe is.....

I do urge you to see these Live Streams at your local cinema.....Gx

p.s. I'm a bit in love with Edward Bennett......♥

I still have never seen a Shakespeare play but last week saw a production of "Twelve Angry Men". It wasn't brilliant though. Oh well.

[shoota]

Again?

Havn't you seen some Shaxberd already this year?

Glutton for punishment (which isn't necessarily a bad thing ;-)......)

[gness]

Shame on you young man!.....☺

When they do an encore of the last two I will let you know and nag you into seeing them....

July will see The Merchant of Venice and August Othello.....I have seen that by NT.....if RSC is half as good you will love it....x

[tonyav]

I like Stratford on Avon it's on the way to Avon park drag strip.
Glad you enjoyed it gness.

[jim360]

I did see Olivier's Henry V and Ian McKellen's Richard III but both were films I guess.

[gness]

Glutton for Shakespeare, Shoota...especially these live streams....I adore the language and the way his plays can be set at any time and still be so relevant....
Imagine knowing Shakespeare...he must have been an exciting guy......

Punishment?...Hmmm....well I'm an open minded....ish......xx

[Maydup]

I had to chose between that and another play this evening gness, and went for the live performance hoping I might catch an encore of LLW sometime. Pleased you enjoyed it.

I recommend Treasure Island if you get a chance to see an encore. It was very well acted on an anmazing set from the NT.

[gness]

You could stop off on the way, Tony.....☺

Jim.....films can be okay...but live theatre.....can't beat it....x

[gness]

Maydup....I had to miss Treasure Island...but I'm sure there will be an encore...and I do urge you to see tonight's offering if it comes back....it was just fantastic....a whole cinema applauding.....I will see it again...x

[Peter Pedant]

Jim - I am sure someone will fix it for you
to see a Shakespeare play I mean

See the Scottish play ( apparently to say Macb is bad luck)
which is apposite - you are in edinburgh innit /
and .... it is also the shortest

and have fun

[gness]

There is out of season, Tony....you would have really enjoyed tonight's play... I know your sense of humour.....your really would..... and the totty way okay too..... ;-)
But I'm smitten with Edward...x

[Maydup]

How about Antony Sher in the Henry's, did you have the pleasure gness?

[shoota]

Totty?

[DaisyNonna]

Group of us from school used to catch bus to Stratford on Saturdays whenever the play changed and but tickets to stand at the back of the stalls. Known by Box got to know us.
One Saturday group of four Americans who had booked were stranded somewhere. There were four of us that day and we were offered the stall seats at the same price as our standing tickets. Not exactly dressed for it but it was bliss.

[tonyav]

Toty mmmmm.

[gness]

Yes I did, Maydup.....I first saw Antony Sher in The Revenger's Tragedy at Stratford in the mid eighties and have loved him ever since.....

They were showing clips in the interval...or playtime as we still call it...tonight of what he is doing but people were chatting and I didn't catch it.
I'll see anything he is in....x

[gness]

Totty.....did I say totty....not like me..... ??

Statford's great isn't it, Daisy....x

[gness]

Tell you where is great fun....The Globe in London.....mind you I went on the hottest day of the year and passed out....
I came to in a sick room with an Irish chap who had also passed out...we Irish can't take the heat....but it's a good way to meet people.....♣

Love Stratford but also loved Birmingham Rep where I first beheld Derek Jacobi when he was a a very young actor. Cor!
