the hollow crown

Received my Master's in Shakespeare at the University of Kent in Canterbury. Mostly focuses on Shakespeare theatre and modern performance. With lots of Sleep No More and West Side Story (what I wrote my dissertation on).

I saw this production and it was INCREDIBLY FUN and what the pictures don’t capture is that Harry is really somewhat small so during his Dramatic Speeches he’d get picked up & yell from his boys’ shoulders

Last night I discovered that William Shakespeare named his son Hamnet and I feel like this is an awful secret I shouldn’t know

I found this poem by @frogyell and laughed at it for two days straight so take this doodle as a symbol of my appreciation. 😂

I have so many problems with Mel Gibson’s Hamlet, but the fact that he plays “get thee to a nunnery” as a warning to Ophelia that shit’s about to go down is so fantastic and effective.

Like why do productions insist on the abusive brothel connotation when it’s infinitely more powerful and gut-wrenching delivered as Hamlet trying to take care of Ophelia without giving himself away.

[hamletthedane]

Reblogging myself to say that I saw a live Hamlet production the other day that did Gibon’s interpretation of the nunnery scene and the audience nearly cried it was such a good, emotionally moving, and logical interpretation of the scene.

Destroy Fuckboy Nunnery Interpretation 2K17.

[oldshrewsburyian]

I read Olivier as doing the same thing. He performs Fuckboy Nunnery Interpretation(™ @dark-haired-hamlet) loudly and passionately for the listeners he knows are there… and then kneels down and all but strokes Ophelia’s hair and very gently, with tears in his voice, repeats: “To a nunnery, go,” and I dissolve.

Do you guys want to hear a really good idea I have for a production of Hamlet?

[crowsstars]

Heck yeah
