Comments on: Slings & Arrows: Season Two http://www.shakespeareteacher.com/blog/archives/90 Mon, 01 Dec 2008 20:57:52 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: Bill http://www.shakespeareteacher.com/blog/archives/90#comment-142 Bill Tue, 20 Feb 2007 20:05:42 +0000 http://www.shakespeareteacher.com/blog/archives/90#comment-142 That sounds like a great line-up. We should check out Stratford this year. Slings & Arrows has reinvigorated my interest, and they're doing King Lear. Favorite line in Season Two? Hard to say with such dense writing, but the one that's sticking out in my head right now is "Trust you? If you want people to trust you, Richard, don't fucking quote Richard Nixon." I'm also thinking of the scene between Richard and the Minister of Culture, but I can't quote any of the lines from memory. That sounds like a great line-up. We should check out Stratford this year.

Looking back, it made the biggest impression on me of any other element of the things I saw that week: Maccers, Henry VIII, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, Pericles, Cymbeline, A Man for All Seasons. But I have to say, my favorite line of Season Two is when Arsinee Khanjian (wife of one of my all time favorite film directors Atom Egoyan's, btw) tries to stave of the curse, spins around 3 times and falls off the stage and Oliver says "The air is positively THICK with irony."....

"Let's see where the conference room is today." Iachimo is a great role, and the right actor can really shine in it. Feore must have been amazing to see.

Iachimo is a great role, and the right actor can really shine in it. Feore must have been amazing to see.

It's over 20 years and I remember him climbing out of the truck like a snake as if it were yesterday...
