For students studying Shakespeare, this must be fantastic. Pity it wasn't available when I was young. I am now 87! Kind regards to all lovers of Shakespeare, the world's most popular author. England, November, 2023.

Please consider subscribing to our channel - ruclips.net/user/ShakespeareNetwork New Film adaptation - MISANTHROPOS - www.misanthropos.net - Timon of Athens - Shakespeare on Film! Adapted by Maximianno Cobra, from Shakespeare's "Timon of Athens", the film exposes the timeless challenge of social hypocrisy, disillusion and annihilation against the poetics of friendship, love, and beauty.
Very nice priduction, but difficult to follow in the text as it jumps around quite a bit. Only Sir Alec Guinness could have pulled off Malvolip with such snobbery and arrogance in a comic character. Bravo! Sir Ralph Richardson was his usual craftsman-like self. Highly recommended production, especially for novices to the delights of Shakespeare. Even though one can detect echos of Plautus, Shakespeare did an excellent weaving job of other plays as well. Thanks. PS: Y'all should seriously consider subscribing to this channel.

So was Feste in love with Olivia, too? Is that last speech a kind of critique of his own life as a fool--does "swaggering" refer to his lifestyle? Steele's performance of that song is about the most poignant I've heard. Somehow in its summary of the logic of life it sits up there with Macbeth's "Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow...."
There's an essential element lost in all modern productions. Originally, female parts were played by young boys. That's right, Lady MacBeth, Ophelia, Gertrude, Juliette, all boys. So the joke is that it is a boy dressed as a woman playing a woman dressed as a boy.

Thank you for being there.
RIP and long live Sir Ralph Richardson (December 19, 1902 - October 10, 1983), aged 80
You will always be remembered as a legend.
Everything he's done has been amazing in my opinion.
Wonderful actor.

45:23 "She sat like patience on a monument, smiling at grief." Ooph!
Some are born great, some achieve greatness, others have greatness thrust on them!
I love how Plowright plays both roles.
...and Richardson is fantastic in it like everything he'd ever done.
Surely that's how it works? If you play Olivia, then you play Cesario?
@@neilaspin008 That's not what she means - Plowright plays Sebastian and Viola.
Well, technically, playing 3 parts, even if one of them is playing another.
The speech that Viola makes to Orseno is heart wrenching.
Eternal Love to the Theatre
Absoluely beautiful. Thank you!
Our pleasure! Cheers!
Only ever seen snips and always wanted to see this in full - thank you!
I saw this production in 1986 when it was arranged by our English teacher as we sat for Cambridge exams 5:34
30:45 O mistress mine
40:56 Come away, death
You’re awesome.
Thanks so MUCH FOR POSTING.
Wow!!! This is wonderful. Thank you.
Alec Guiness is brilliant as Malvolio. (Madge out of Benidorm as Maria tool).
Is that Roy Castle as Valentine!? Dedication! X

It's Mrs. Wilson!
23:38 - If I did love you in master's flame..."
Great!
It's weird for me seeing all these British actors I only ever see old in their younger days.
So this is what Obi Wan was doing while he was in hiding.

The Globe did an all male production about a decade ago that made it to Broadway. Mark Rylance. Roger Lloyd Pack.
For "modern", read: the last three hundred-plus years! And they were apparently always boys, never adult men in female roles.
why did sir andrew have to fight cesario?
Sir Toby tricked him into thinking that he had to fight Cesario to impress Olivia
