“Gods of my father’s country! You saw me on my knees before the Great Dog of Corinth. Humbled, holding my heart in my hand for a dog to bite. BREAK THIS DOG’S TEETH!” … I played the audio recording so many times that these lines have been engraved in my mind. I didn’t know it was possible to see a full video recording. Thanks so much!
Assiste-se aqui, ao verdadeiro Teatro da Dramaturgia Grega Clássica. Cenário único, ambiente palaciano simples, grandes atores em cena, belíssima fotografia em branco e preto "NOIR". Judith Anderson, IMPECÁVEL e maravilhosa como Medea e não terá nenhuma rival no papel. Parabéns ao canal por exibir essa obra de arte cinematográfica eterna. Não há melhor Medea.
Glorious language from a perfect vocal instrument. Emotion enhanced by technique. This must be how the Greeks heard it in their language. Epic, majestic, revolting, transcendent. Everything.
I love love love how morbid the Nurse's account of "the incident", like seriously, Euripides went ALL OUT. (Spoilers) The princess caught fire, she tried to take off the wreath and dress but it was hot and clinged to her flesh. She burned and burned, collapsed on the floor, untouchable. And her father tried to smother the flames but then he caught fire too and was overcome with pain and collapsed with her. He tried to get up but they were glued together and it tore the flesh from his bones LIKE DUDE THAT IS SO METAL?!?!
Amazing performance. Breathtaking. I had no idea... reading comments and resarching it - I had no idea Mrs. Danvers had such a background. Now entering Judith Anderson binge-mode.
A marvelous surprise to have seen this comment today! I'm very glad my little channel has brought you joy. ❤ On my journey through the arts, with the goal to write about Dame Judith and her life (after my current book I'm writing for her!) I try to be very careful and appreciative of legacy. That she never had children of her own, Anderson keeps her particular immortality through her artwork-- so long as her artwork is remembered, and I want it to be! It is a beautiful thing to be reminded of the lasting presence of her family. My love to you!
Tre Medea, Anderson, Caldwell, Rigg..una piu' diverse dall'altra per personalita', per stile..e tutte tre stupefacenti!.per me Caldwell was a real dog as Medea was..historic!♥️
where the heck has this been hiding all my life? saw her HAMLET in 1971, which was preposterous but I dug it. yes and let's not forget Euripides please.
What a marvelous thing for you to have seen! I would love to hear about your experience. I always admired her dedication in having taken on such a role, even despite the criticism and dissuasion she received for attempting Hamlet-- and Anderson is often left out of contemporary discussions on Hamlets who have been portrayed by women historically. I think it's a disservice to her, who was over 70 years old when she gave herself that challenge. She was a sharp mind to the end, and I believe her Hamlet is a strong testament as to why!
OMG OMG ABSOLUTELY CANNOT WAIT like there’s only so many times I can play the decca recording Edit: that was a lie I am listening to it now and I can listen to it infinitely 🤣
That record changed my life two and a half years ago!! And it took me two years to get my hands on a copy of the film from 1959, so with the help of my dear friend I was able to immediately digitize it to one day share it with the world too (After I got to spend many months enjoying having it all to myself, that is)! I have the play memorized, it's nothing short of spectacular-- and it really warms my heart more than you know to learn that it's special to you too 💘 Before the premiere launches on Monday, there will be one smaller treasure I'll be uploading which I hope you'll like!
@@medeajerdana That is amazing to hear!!! It’s always an awesome feeling to that the actresses I’ve become obsessed with already have devotees. And thank you for your efforts!! It’s hard to get physical copies of anything where I live. As much as I was willing to give away a limb to see this play lol I am so grateful 🤧 Also when this is up I will have it converted to mp4 or something and listen to it nonstop and Jeffers’ version will get etched into another brain!!
Ahhh if this was but a few minutes shorter I would dub it onto a C-90!! I wish it was easier to find 100+ minute blank cassettes. Maybe I will try increasing the audio speed to 1.25 while dubbing during certain sections, but it won't be easy or ideal. Great performance
As barbaric as Medea was I'm glad she got her revenge on Giason and Creon... She was smart bc she made an alliance w Athens before she took off on her golden chariot.
With all my love, please enjoy.

I made it available for the world, not two weeks ago! I'm glad you enjoy her magnificent performance too!
I keep replaying many lines as well. The lines are all so poetic, vivid, succinct.
