Mercy me, David is altogether too lovely to be a man. He's altogether too lovely to be a woman. He's altogether too lovely to be anything other than a seraph, descended unto us poor mortals by way of Paisley, Scotland and masquerading as timelords and deposed kings.
The other guy is asking him if he is going to surrender (submit).So the guy with the crown (David) goes on about how he, as the king, is losing his place, and how because he is a king he must be gracious while doing so. What he is describing is giving up all the riches of being a king to become a monk ( I’m not a big religious person so idk if he means a priest or something so I’ll just say monk). He says “I will trade my large kingdom for a little grave” (pretty straightforward) talks about how he feels that “why shouldn’t he be put to rest in a small grave that people will step on? They already stomp on his heart now, what difference will it make?” After he says this he realizes that his words have made the other guy cry, and nd goes to console him. He says “crying so much will make it rain” and. “ should we just forget our troubles? Worrying so much will only kill us faster.” (Things kinda get blurry for me about here) I think he’s doing that think where you you make fun of yourself to make a sad person laugh (as far as I can tell) Kiss happens (Please keep in mind that I’ve never seen or read this play but I do read and watch quite a bit of Shakespeare, I don’t want to be an over explainer😵💫 and I thought translating (kinda) this without context would be a cool challenge👍 Hope this helps!!!
The same year as this production, I was in a production of Richard II playing Aumerle and played him as very much in love with Richard. In all the court scenes, the actress playing the Queen and I had a silent "he says stupid things sometimes, but god, we love him" sort of relationship, often giving each other looks over the man our characters both loved. When it came to this scene, both myself and the actor playing Richard felt like this moment should have a kiss between Richard and Aumerle as Richard steadies himself for what is to come and Aumerle is silently weeping his heart out as Richard talks. The director turned down the idea and said that it didn't make any sense at all. But the international livestream of the David Tennant production was the week after our's closed, and I cannot tell you how vindicated we felt seeing them have a kiss in the exact spot where we felt like the text and how we played the characters naturally should have one!
@@Evergreen2219 unfortunately that was common during the time of richard ii. Richard's actual wife in the play is called "sister" and "cousin" multiple times. It wouldn't be out of the question in that time period for a relationship of that sort to emerge, especially amongst royalty.
My god he is an amazing actor. Back in the renaissance, being gay was absolutely taboo. You can see all the emotions on his face after that kiss. Both of them and the way that they react afterward is so spot on. Also, you can tell that he wants to kiss him again and doesn't, hence the touch on the cheek. DT is a genius.
@@FishpondsLady it depends on which scholar you follow. Some people cite the beginning of The Renaissance as early as the 13th century. Personally, I do not believe it started that early. I usually align the beginning of the renaissance with the rise of the humanism movement in Italy in the early 14th century. Anyway, regardless, this play was amazingly well done!
The sag of the shoulders after he puts the crown on too, you can feel the frustration of it - if he wasn’t King he’d kiss him again, but he can’t. I saw this live, it was perfection
@@AlannaKathyi wish i had a Tardis so that I could see this live too! Did you watched in the first or second run of the play? I read that in the second run the kiss was somehow deeper 🥺
i have ABSOLUTELY no idea what is going on here, why they were upset, why they kissed, who that other dude was in the play. but this whole clip is such a mood that's worth watching again and again
@@like_miaow Oh yeah Richard is incredibly fucked up. I don’t really understand the decision to have them kiss here, it’s not in the script at all or even hinted that they’d have a romantic relationship. I also don’t love that they have the most inept king in the second tetralogy be the “effeminate” king. I recommend watching this production, it’s mostly just David Tennent rolling around on the floor barefoot while everyone else looks on in disbelief. It’s surprisingly funny for one of Shakespeare’s historical plays. I do not recommend the others in the second tetralogy, though.
Just for my own reference, from what I've read: Bolingbroke is winning and taking over Richard's kingdom, Aumerle (Richard's cousin) is loyal to Richard but they're losing and there's nothing they could do; they're basically doomed and Richard's probably going a bit mad here (swinging between "we will fight them how dare they" and "i might as well relinquish and let them dig our graves") poor Aumerle is probably having an equal amount of mood here smh
@@like_miaow that’s pretty much it. It’s a little weird because Bolingbroke didn’t explicitly try to take the kingship, he just wants his land back but Richard kind of gives up. Richards pretty much insane for the whole thing, he got put on the throne when he was 10 and does not do a good job. Aumerle is much more sane.
The silence from the crowd says it all. Their acting is perfect! The way he cries, yet laughs, the expressions, the hesitations, the wordless communications…
There's such a thing as Active Silence. It happens when an audience is so wrapped up in a performance they dare not speak to not destroy the moment they're watching. Yet the silence is palpable.
i dont think i can genuinely think of someone who performs a better kiss on stage, like the genuine passion, the cheek grab, no matter what this man is in, or who he kisses, every time it makes you romantasize the idea of being kissed like that, 10/10 every time
2:05 the way david starts breathing heavily, the look in his eyes, the slow movements that show fear but confidence? All of it is on point of having the confidence to confess your love by kissing someone! There was so much passion and yet shyness! David once again you have left me in awe!
David Tennant is truly an amazing actor... It's usually so hard for me to understand what is being said with these Older English plays, but the way he delivers his lines, I can understand what they mean because he understands what his character is saying, doing, living. This was the first time I saw one of these characters as a Person rather than a 'Poetic' Thing. He's not just reading the lines, he understands what they mean. He really makes this character come alive. This king is a person. What a tender, tender moment. Just beautiful. I should really find the full play to watch sometime.
That’s what makes this amazing Shakespeare acting. I mean it’s obviously great acting-acting, too, but it takes a great deal of skill and practice to do this with Shakespeare-to perform it so wholly and so genuinely that the story and the emotions and the humanity in it come across even if not a single word of dialogue makes sense. Tennant truly is a master at this. It’s amazing to watch
Other plays give you words that are easy to understand. Shakespeare gives you words that are hard to understand, so it takes so much more to make yourself into the person speaking those words for the first time, finding and choosing them in the moment with intention. You have to understand the character so fully. It’s marvelous that people can understand the same characters so differently and yet pull of the performance equally well, and I think it happens because in order to become the character, to some extent the character must become you? At any rate, it’s not easy, which makes it all the more stunning to witness when it’s done as compellingly as this.
i watched this whole play and I think David Tennant is up there with Dame Judy Dench in terms of shakespeare acting skills. He's able to deliver every line so masterfully that even if you don't know shakespearean lingo, you can still understand what he means by his delivery, the emotion and intention behind it and his body language. He's also fantastic in Much Ado About Nothing, Hamlet, and Romeo and Juliet. I got to study him in Richard II and it was my favourite assessment ever. This kiss especially added so much depth to the script without having to change a single line, and made the ending all that more tragic.
I'm pretty sure I can't unsee DT as Crowley anymore, and now the headcanon of "DT's roles were played by Crowley when he was very bored" is living rent free in my head
I will never get over the look on his face and his intense gaze right before he kissed him. It looked like pure love and admiration, so absolutely beautiful.
This scene is so amazing. One of the things that fascinate me about this play is the tension, the discrepancy, between Richard the king and Richard the person. His language and the way he acts are very performative, artificial, and it takes a big chunk of the play until we get a glimpse behind that image, that act of being king. I think Shakespeare did a great job getting into the headspace of this man who had been told all his life that he was king by God's grace and who absolutely believed that to be true, right up until he was deposed by men. And the way they handled this in this scene is just so good. First, he's being quite melodramatic, and then this kiss is such an honest, tender, human moment and you can see the man behind that facade. I love it. And it also shows how much you can do with Shakespeare's plays, in how many ways you can interpret and stage scenes, because there are so few directions in them. It gives you a lot of room today for your own thoughts and ideas about the play and the characters.
Is it weird to say that I think he is underrated as an actor? Extremely underrated? I know he has a very ardent fanbase and is very much beloved by the UK for being Ten, but I still don’t think he gets his flowers enough. He’s so good in everything I’ve seen him in. He can do the lightest comedy and the heaviest drama. He can smile and utterly delight a wee child, and he can glower and utterly terrify an adult. He’s the sonic screwdriver of actors: he can do EVERYTHING that you can possibly imagine. Also if they ever did a live action Nightmare Before Christmas movie, he HAS to be Jack Skellington. LOOK AT THE MAN.
I am Italian, I came here because of Good Omens and I feel the sudden urge to take a PhD in English Literature and to learn Shakespeare's opera omnia by heart just to understand what's happening in this scene. ❤️ David Tennant!
I admire your English--it is superb. As for studying Shakespeare, it is sublime, and you will never regret it. He's universal, like Tolstoy and Dante and Voltaire.
OH MY GOD, SAME! I’m a 18-year-old Italian who absolutely fell in love with Shakespeare AND Good Omens thanks to this man, I can’t express how much I admire him and all of his roles 🥹🫶
This makes me realize that I remember not a single thing about the plot of this play, yet I remember the exact feeling after the live stream of this performance to a cinema here in Hamburg finished. I clapped and cried when the actors took their bows and then - I just sat there. Too stunned to speak, too moved to move. Even after my friend had managed to get me out of the building, it still took me a good full 15 or 20 minutes of utter silence (and I'm normally a chatterbox!) to be able to step out of my brain again and out of the impact this production had had on me to rejoin reality. It is to this day the closest I've ever gotten to see David Tennant performing live - and in such a stunning production too - and may remain that for many years to come if hopefully not always, but it will stay with me forever.
This wrecked me every time I saw it live. The two of them were so electric in this scene. Plus Olly Rix was just superb in this role. He really stood out. I hope he’s back on a stage soon.
aziraphale eventually came back to crowley, and when crowley realized that aziraphale had chosen him, he kissed him once again. and aziraphale cried. not because of crowley or their time apart or regret for leaving heaven. aziraphale cried, grieving the loss of his whole identity, his former core beliefs. aziraphale grieved the system he so believed could be changed, be saved. aziraphale grieved the potential for good. and crowley held him. he held his angel until the tears were spent, and then it was just them.
No. The point is that he's laugh crying because the king is trying to cheer him up in a tender moment. There is more than a teaspoon worth of emotion to be felt.
I saw him live in 2017 when he did "Don Juan in Soho", a modern British retelling of the Don Juan story. He was absolutely sublime! I was in standing room, and was laughing so hard I nearly collapsed to the floor, he was that funny. He is a master at comedic timing. I met him backstage after the show too, he was in a hurry and exhausted, but he still did his best with the huge throng of fans waiting for him. I managed to get his autograph and a selfie. I immediately freaked out in exhilaration after I got out of there.
0:48 It's almost as if he talks about the Richard after him. This is Richard II, however Richard III was found buried in this exact description. "...where subjects feet may trample on their sovereigns head..." Richard III, found under a car park.
it’s honestly so fucked up that I watched this even before good omens season 2 came out. the universe really said I needed to see another emotionally devastating kiss with david tennant 😭
This is Crowley just filling in for an actor so the show can go on and Aziraphale can be happy in order to return the favour in 1941 and you cannot convince me otherwise.
thank you so much for posting this lol, I was also sick of scouring tumblr trying to find this scene. i studied richard ii in my shakespeare class and this is legitimately my favorite portrayal of this scene. beat for beat, the acting conveys such a full scope of emotions on both tennat's and rix's part that you could genuinely spend hours analyzing the sheer weight THIS performance has in relation to both the original text and the entire play as a whole
FUCK KILL ME ладно я не могу выразить свои эмоции на английском. Чувствую себя просто восхитительно, но внутри словно органы отказали. Ппц. Я не знаю таких слов что описать своё состояние. Помогите
@one_smol_duck it wasn't even the kiss (although that helped)!!!! it's just got such a vibe to it that like. idk. I feel like I need that whole monologue tattooed oh my brain
I was so curious why this was popping back up in my recommended all of a sudden, but then I remembered the Recent David Tennant Production that had come out and thought, “ahh, this is what they’re watching to cope.”
And someone on another topic was complaining that David looked "disgusted" when he 'had to kiss" Michael in GO, because"that's not what he wanted" and "not all actors should be forced to do that stupid LGBTQ crap". Seriously, I didn't know if I should laugh or get mad at the stupidity. 😂
Oh my god. I had my hand over my mouth. This was SO passionate and real and *human.* honestly, it captured the “oh. What now?” Feeling that happens after a confession of love so perfectly. The playing around with the crown and the cheek touch GOT ME PLEASE OH GOD
Aw, where was this clip back when the play was streaming to cinemas? Q.Q (This scene you could hear a pin drop -- nearly fell off my chair when they kissed *-*) Ta muchly for sharing

Agreed. The way David/Richard held his face in hands felt so loving.
I may be a lesbian…. But David❤️
He’s got pretty princess hair :)
im pretty sure that at 2:56 he almost broke into laughter but then had to stay in character by crying.
The audience is laughing and that could be distracted.
Yeah i thought i saw a second of an almost smile on David too 😅
Yeah, I heard a laugh
No. The point is that he's laugh crying because the king is trying to cheer him up in a tender moment. There is more than a teaspoon worth of emotion to be felt.
I agree with @@kylezo . He is laughing and crying.
This is so beautiful ... I've watched this clip over and over, every day. The voice, the physicality, the tenderness .....Thanks for posting
Thats literally my life
David Tennant is such a good actor goddamnit. The tenderness in that kiss. The love. The soft touch. AAAAAA.
i love how gentle and unsure the kiss is, fits the tone of the scene and the characters perfectly :)
He's is a wonderful actor. I'd love to see David live. His Hamlet was superb as was this . I love him
I saw him live in 2017 when he did "Don Juan in Soho", a modern British retelling of the Don Juan story. He was absolutely sublime! I was in standing room, and was laughing so hard I nearly collapsed to the floor, he was that funny. He is a master at comedic timing. I met him backstage after the show too, he was in a hurry and exhausted, but he still did his best with the huge throng of fans waiting for him. I managed to get his autograph and a selfie. I immediately freaked out in exhilaration after I got out of there.
@@tatianamelendez490 whaou, you're so lucky ! it's literally my dream
@@rajaharrag667 One day it'll happen, my dear.
@@tatianamelendez490 it's very unlikely but I hope so 😃
@@rajaharrag667 Never say never, my dear. When the opportunity arises, grab it. That's how I got to see him.
0:48 It's almost as if he talks about the Richard after him. This is Richard II, however Richard III was found buried in this exact description. "...where subjects feet may trample on their sovereigns head..." Richard III, found under a car park.
THIS CHEMICALLY CHANGED ME. IM SOBBING
What the actual fuck is your username ❤
@@XemeraldXD I worked very hard on it :3
david tennant also known as babygirliest man ever to grace a stage
2:09 the kiss starts here
Crowley just became friends with Shakespeare and decided to join one of the plays
2:10 this is my favourite kiss ever, so gentle and elegant.
Every comment has already praised him as much as i could.. all i can say now is; fuck his hair is luscious
no dialoge from 2:00 onwards. so many things said. amazing talent and direction, beautiful piece of theatre.
it’s honestly so fucked up that I watched this even before good omens season 2 came out. the universe really said I needed to see another emotionally devastating kiss with david tennant 😭
2:23 - 2:26 that sob in the background. XD They have that person in tears!
This is Crowley just filling in for an actor so the show can go on and Aziraphale can be happy in order to return the favour in 1941 and you cannot convince me otherwise.
That was beautiful recitation of Shakespeare - to be honest I’ve never heard it done better
More naturally I mean
thank you so much for posting this lol, I was also sick of scouring tumblr trying to find this scene. i studied richard ii in my shakespeare class and this is legitimately my favorite portrayal of this scene. beat for beat, the acting conveys such a full scope of emotions on both tennat's and rix's part that you could genuinely spend hours analyzing the sheer weight THIS performance has in relation to both the original text and the entire play as a whole
David Tennant. Long hair. Yes. Nicely played.
I found this video today and i watched it 10 times already. I feel like a creep but this is just... So beautyfull
The DRAWING REFERENCES from these, what, 5 seconds of pre-kiss and kiss? Tumblr is boiling with thin, dark dukes with long red hair.
FUCK KILL ME ладно я не могу выразить свои эмоции на английском. Чувствую себя просто восхитительно, но внутри словно органы отказали. Ппц. Я не знаю таких слов что описать своё состояние. Помогите
i love how when the audience laughs that one dude coughs and you know he was just holding it in so he wouldn’t wreck the moment
I’m just here coping after watching the finale of Good Omens season 2. David Tennant is brutally hot.
2:05 his face is everything
I volunteer to become an actor in this play. 🙋♀️
Preferably the role that young man has. 👀
Don't we all ? 😂
David really does suit that hairstyle quite well omg, gorgeous
Having read Richard II, I'm so glad I bought this on DVD, too. What a genius.
2:57
David smiled a bit after the other person broke character 🥺
i think it was purposeful actually
That was very deliberate.
These are pros and they don't break character so easily
Yeah....neither one "broke character." Not sure what you're talking about.
That's really good crying.
David is great in anything. It would be good to see him in a one -man show. Just him, the stage and the audience
This is art. Pure art
This is the only rendition where Richard II’s actor actually seems casual about the delivery. Like, this feels like a slice from that era
this video has some kind of hypnotic quality to it, I've watched it like three times in a row
RIGHT?!?! I swear to god shakespeare was on some shit when he wrote this play, all of richard's monologues are hypnotic af. It's fascinating.
@one_smol_duck it wasn't even the kiss (although that helped)!!!! it's just got such a vibe to it that like. idk. I feel like I need that whole monologue tattooed oh my brain
His acting is insane. He's one of the best actors of our time. This man is incredible.
he looks so pretty with long hair
fuck yeah
That looks like such a sweet kiss, so lucky
David Tennant. Uff. He makes any role he plays his own.
That little sigh at the end says so much🥺
This was so soft oh my god I lost a heartbeat 🥺
Long hair David is so fuckin stunning
I was so curious why this was popping back up in my recommended all of a sudden, but then I remembered the Recent David Tennant Production that had come out and thought, “ahh, this is what they’re watching to cope.”
And someone on another topic was complaining that David looked "disgusted" when he 'had to kiss" Michael in GO, because"that's not what he wanted" and "not all actors should be forced to do that stupid LGBTQ crap". Seriously, I didn't know if I should laugh or get mad at the stupidity. 😂
They clearly didn't actually watch the show. No disgust there at all.
WHAT???
We're talking about David "boykisser" Tennant, man
Which dumb*ss said that??? xDDDD
thank you for posting this. you're doing god's work
Thanks so much for posting this!
What a privilege to witness David Tennants' magnificent works. Woah, chills.
Like idk whats going on but I'm here for it
David Tennant is our favourite boykisser :3
Oh god, thank you for posting this
Whoelse thinks he sounds like Stevie from Family guy here 0:19
"I'll give my jewels for a set of beeds" ^^
However, amazing performance!!
David looks so pretty with long hair
Seems that David is always kissing someone…. Beginning to think he has a clause in his contracts … 🤭
That kiss had so much emotion bro
Im not watching this at two am. You are
The doctor sort of looks like Donna here, it's truly the doctor donna
Oh my god. I had my hand over my mouth. This was SO passionate and real and *human.* honestly, it captured the “oh. What now?” Feeling that happens after a confession of love so perfectly. The playing around with the crown and the cheek touch GOT ME PLEASE OH GOD
Holy jesus. How did the audience not spontaneously combust?! 🤯😇🥰
Not fair that his hair is slightly red. It doesn’t help my heart.
THANK YOU FOR THIS.
One of the few times I am so glad RUclips recommended this in my feed. Damn! DT is amazing!
Aw, where was this clip back when the play was streaming to cinemas? Q.Q
(This scene you could hear a pin drop -- nearly fell off my chair when they kissed *-*)
Ta muchly for sharing
