Patrick Stewart's Macbeth will be filmed. This is the production ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) breadandroses and I saw in New York a year and a half ago. It's fucking brilliant. Speaking of, anyone *cough* got a line on that David Tennant Hamlet (with PS as Claudius)? Email me if so... I'm rereading Antony Sher's Year of the King, his journal/sketchbook of his preparations to play Richard III. I last read it as a sophomore in high school, so it's fascinating not only as an exploration of one man's acting process, but also as an exercise in noting what my fifteen-year-old self did and didn't notice. I'm quite sure I didn't get the "will sir be dressing left or right tonight?" joke about the hump, not knowing about the need for men to pick an avenue down which to direct the tackle. I certainly didn't go "ZOMG RICHARD WILSON!!" back then. ILU, British Theater Gay Mafia. (Incidentally, who knew Gaius was in A Passage To India? I need to woman up and finish reading the novel, and then watch the film. Judy Davis, the Raj, and now bonus RW? It has the makings of yet another flavor of tasty Kivrin!crack.) Tags: books, movies
