    I dont understand why people think this is bad.
    Personally, i think it is quite good and i like how she is showing emphasis in her words.
    Though i may not be an actor, i can still see the effort done in this video.

      Clear indicator of problems in your head is your use of "I" five times in three sentences, without capitalization once no less. Yes you do not understand.

    I don't think this is over the top at all. It's a modern interpretation of Shakespeare and it needs to be put in context of the entire play. Portia is trying to save a man's life and the audience has already hears the graphic details of Shylock's request.

    I think it is pretty good, though Balthazar could have been a bit less with the swirling around and throwing the money all over the place. If he did all this desperation but focused on groveling to Shylock and throwing the money at his feet it would have been more on point I think.

    Seems to deliberately making it as far from declaiming a famous speech as possible. Goes to far in my view. We should be allowed to savour the lines a little.

      I believe that is the RSC house style - to be more naturalistic. She is not delivering a great speech to the court, but trying to touch Shylock's heart and win him.

      @@JohnSmith-zq9mo There used to be a fashion for opera singers showing off how hard they were working. Now you only hear that in 'power ballads'. Listen to a singer like Bryn Turfel make his singing sound like a conversation.

    This production was so awful in so many ways. I felt sorry for Makram J. Koury as his performance was over-shadowed by the focus-pulling and over-acting of so many of the cast. Was there a competition to see who could most wave their arms about meaninglessly? This was probably the fault of the director who should have not allowed this. I fear this happens too often at the RSC. Why does someone not read "Hamlet's speech to the players" - to everyone who gets a job there?

I would suggest reading the play and if you have notes about tiresome cross-dressing, take it up with Shakespeare's ghost because he wrote it.
