YOU GUYS.

I have been really bad at actually watching the Globe to Globe productions after having a screaming fit of glee about them on lj, because they always seem to vanish before I have a chance -- but I knew I didn't want to miss Ashtar Theatre's production of Richard II in Palestinian Arabic: I wouldn't have anyway, but it even got a glowing ( Read more... )

lea's compulsive ricardianism, go look at this thing, richard ii, globe, other people's reviews, things that are awesome

I once had to sit through a production of The Taming of the Shrew (in period costume) in Berber when we lived in Morocco.

Oh, I will definitely be watching that this week. :)

Palestinian R2 macmauve May 29 2012, 17:28:29 UTC

Hi, I went to this one - more cos it was R2 than cos in Arabic - yeah I really liked it (thought the rather Sadaam looking Bolingbroke added to it!) and Metwasi was fab Richard. Did you like the bit with the mirror in Act 1 then in Act 4?

Mark R, Liam Brennan et al started rehearsals for R3 yesterday - hope they put that on ThisSpace too!

I wouldn't be surprised if they did a full-fledged cinema broadcast for R3/Twelfth Night.

Also, Liam is in R3, yay! Who does he play?

(also also, yes, I did like the mirror bit! And the parallel staging at beginning and end. Also the entire crown-transfer sequence in the deposition scene was brilliant. :D)

Really hope the cinema DVD broadcast of 12th Night / R3 at some point but guess we'll see after the West End run :-) Hope they show it like the NT live shows.

Liam is Clarence (and the Lord Mayor)in R3 in a production where they are cutting Margaret! That s going to be interesting! Loads of the original 12th night guys are back for both shows, including Jimmy Garnon & Paul Chahidi :-)R3 casting on Globe website :-)
