Is this the guy from Dunkirk ?

2:39 Him stammering to show how he's starting to be overwhelmed with his emotions right before he breaks down and starts to cry, 👨‍🍳 💋

Its the moment where Richard realizes he's not all that.

He's falling the fuck apart, and chooses comedy to keep it together. I get it, man, I do exactly this. Come, sit: let's tell sad stories of the death of kings. <3

I really rather like this, it’s a great juxtaposition to Tennant scooting across the stage tearing out his hair (a brilliantly visceral and uncomfortable scene) this is so… sad. It’s funny, but tragic and quiet and hits something very true about the monologue and the character.

Wonderful Richard! I would love to have seen this. The poet wears authority and becomes a king . . .

Now go watch Ben Whishaw

you can feel the tragedy in it. the humanity and the genuine mortal fear. excellent rendition.

Are you by any chance the same person who used to be strangebrooch on 8tracks? If so, just wanted to say I loved your playlists there, especially the Christmas ones. I would love to get the tracklists if you still have them. If this isn't you, sorry!

Where may I purchase this in complete

oh my god, he was actually able to draw laughs from that line.. so interesting compared to more morose deliveries.

This scene is just short of brilliance. I can see what Rylance was trying to do but I just wish he didn’t deliver it in such a robotic, memorised way…it came off unnatural

A man playing The Duchess of York? I thought we'd come a long way in the theatre, sadly not.

For what can we bequeath but our bodies our lands our souls our very best.... Interesting the Declaration of Independence ends with precisely this pledge

I have to say, the humorous take Mark Rylance went for in this role caught me completely off guard. David Tennant, in an equally fantastic performance, screams and pulls his hair out and it’s uncomfortable but mesmerising. Ben Whishaw in the 2012 TV adaption is melancholy and quiet, but captivating as an effeminate man who is simply in over his head. Humour is a new one on me and as of writing I haven’t seen the rest of this production, but it puts a unique spin on this scene. Shakespeare is what you make of it. He only wrote the words after all.

Whoever wrote these plays, is up there saying. "At last, there is an actor worthy of these words." Bravo, Bravo. I laugh and cry and thank the heavens for living long enough to see and hear Mark Rylance.

I dunno. I find his acting silly.

I love this joyous little dance

Let's hear it for the musicians! 🔥🔥🔥

I was shocked at the laughs at first, but in the end, I had to agree it's a fresh interpretation. Strangely enough, the chap interpreting Richard II looks and sounds like Kenneth Connor in the Carry Ons: someone hiding profound sadness under a mask of amusing clumsiness.

Mark Rylance is the worst actor ever. He is the greatest charlatan that has ever graced the stage. He is a actor of our time. He is revered because he is of our time . The greatest actor of our time. Weak in voice, weak in form, weak in conviction. weak in grace. Yes he is the most respecale actor of our time. Pleasant. Mildly deceptive , with a pleasant joke at the end. Thats life in the 21st century. Read Shakes-sper again yea cunts!

Splendid!

Ayo is Macbeth good???

I love his calculated halting delivery; every little hesitancy means something, it's like a emotional verse punctuation he's invented for himself and allows him to slip into little sides of nervous humor and then come thundering back.

I love Marks tremolo and halting delivery because every halt sends another charge of meaning into the word halted on and the next word. Its particularly good with Richard because he is as weak a king as he is powerful in poetry, and in the end his rhetoric is is his only weapon.

Thought we had a knock knock joke coming at 2:26

Exceptional

Everyone in the comments: WOW soooo awesome!!!👏 me: why did my teachers make me watch this 🤦‍♀️...

Fun fact: The two brothers on that stage: John of Gaunt and Edmund of York are the patriarchs of the Houses of Lancaster and York respectively (since John of Gaunt's title was the Duke of Lancaster). 50 years later their descendants would fight the Wars of the Roses.

One of the most underrated monologues, from one of the most underrated plays.

Mark Rylance baffles me.. He has an utterly unique break down for the text.. He yields completely to the Shakespearean text, yet he makes it entirely his own and makes it sound entirely extemporaneous.. The only thing about which I am a bit ambivalent in his take on the major Shakespearean roles, is that they are so rudimentary that they might be a bit similar.. I mean they are not as different from each other as how Laurence Olivier's Lear and Othello are different from each other, which is absolutely two different people.. But.. the man is ,notwithstanding, sufficient as Shylock says.. He is not trying to make them externally different, he is trying something else, something vital, and stunningly succeeding in doing so

I wish somehow I can watch the whole play

Ryelace , Ry-No-Chance more like !

Rylance , Ry-is-pants more like !

Why can't one see this whole performance anywhere? Or buy the blu ray or something?

Of course he goes up at the beginning. Starts recovering while dropping lines. Some cheap laughs, followed by brilliant moments.

I have decided I shall go there in the spring, FFS it's only a couple of hours away by bus

I'm glad he gets laughs but this is pretty bad.

Оно конечно толерантность. ...Но блять афроангличанин среди приближенных короля.// ...Шекспир в гробу икает.

I saw this at the Globe and I have to say I didn't enjoy Mark Rylance's performance at all, especially in this scene., where he throws away one of the most moving speeches Shakespeare wrote to get a few easy laughs from the audience. Having watched the re-runs of Blackadder 2 lately, I've realised what was nagging at me all the time I was watching this. It's Richard played as Lord Percy...

He lives with Fred

Rylance would make for a great Caractacus Potts if they decide to bring back Chitty Chitty Bang Bang to broadway.

The all-male cast is wonderful, not because drag is funny, or because men can do anything that women can't, but because it forces the male actors to inhabit other modes of being, and practice 'femininity' as a craft, which is a thing that women learn, and are forced to learn, all their lives. It allows you to see how much of femininity, as opposed to femaleness, is a social construct and a habit. So it's liberating to all, to see the artifice of the historical idea of a woman. And how beautiful and totally convincing they are, if not as woman, then as ladies.

WHY CAN'T I BUY THE DVD OF THIS!?

This is appalling. A truly dreadful performance. Rubbish acting by Rylance.

Stunningly bad performance from Mark Rylance. In fact so bad that I ask myself how he got his reputation as a good actor. Unclear whether the producer or Rylance is principally responsible for this cynical sneering badly acted badly performed facile mockery of what is in my opinion Shakespeare's most underestimated play. This scene is not supposed to be funny for how would the writer, obessesed as he was with kingship and the divine right of kings, mock what was sacred to him? But a modern performance has no qualms about making this play look and sound ridiculous. This is Richard II for Dummeis performed in the style of Up Pompey but Frankie Howard was a much better actor than Mark Rylance will ever be

Brilliant

This is like a school play. Terrible !

Mark Rylance is such a treat to watch. And many props to the gentlemen who are doing this jig in those long skirts!

Fooking bloody brilliant!!!
