As many of you may have noticed, these days lots of stages are legally posted on streaming sites so people can forget a bit about what’s going on outside and enjoy the time spent indoors. It’s really interesting to follow not only the 2.5D stages, but other stages as well.
My friend @amyntaschoice intorduces me to Richard III. As written on the poster, Richard III is “A remote reading experiment plan made by home waiting actors“. The 7th Generation Laboratory is a unit project operated by volunteer members of Saitama Next Theater. This time, their work is based on the concept of William Shakespeare’s “Richard III,” where actors waiting at home read together for a theater-like performance.
I have to admit that I was skeptical about this kind of performance, and I started watching it only for a single actor, but now I’m in love with the performance and all the actors. They have all my appreciation and respect!
The performance is divided on Scenes that are about 15 miuntes long. The videos are uploaded on the 7th Generation Laboratory YouTube channel every Monday at 10pm Japan time. You can also find them on Twitter. So far we have 5 Scenes:
Scene 1 - A villain’s declaration
Scene 2 - The wedding in front of the coffin
Scene 3 - Dream that comes true
Scene 4 - Premonition
Scene 5 - Sick kingdom
Scene 6 - If
Scene 7 - Two men performance
Scene 8 - Nephew killing
Scene 9 – The last ace up his sleeve
Scene 10 - Light
Scene 11 (Last Scene) - THE DARK HERO
I love the series so much that I decided to make the subs for them. You can find the subtitles for all Scenes here. As the series will continue, I’ll continue to sub the Scenes as well.
Give the series a chance and support the actors in these hard time, even if it’s just a view or two, a like and a share, so they could see that their work is being appreciated. Here are a few of the actors that take part in this project:
Uchida Kenshi – Lord Gloucester/future King Richard III
Shumoto Erika – Queen Elizabeth
Sugiura Keisuke – Kind Edward IV
Miyazaki Shuto – Lord Buckingham
Doi Keito – Queen Margaret
Ayano Durniok – Duchess of York
Aoyagi Takaya – Lord Rivers
Bonus: They posted some NG video and they are hilarious. Althoug, thanks to the questions they received about the songs they used and BGM, they made a playlist with it. The songs are amazing, so if you have time, just listen a few of them. You will find the links to all the videos below,
