I think that Elizabethan actors had an instinctive apprehension of all this. They didn‘t have some of the distractions that we have in our day. They depended more than we do on the spoken word. It was like food, and they probably used words much more sensually, almost eating words.

Spiked cider, John Barton, and a little background Beethoven for a very on-brand evening in 🎻🥃🎭 #shakespeare #phdlife
More photos from Act IV. This photoset is pretty much the entire act...but of course it is far more complex than that. I read an article in Newsweek about the second run of this production and loved how the interviewer described this scene... HEEEEEEEEEEEEERE COUSIN!!! 😂

“Edward‘s seven sons...were as seven vials of his sacred blood, or seven fair branches springing from one root.”

This is probably really hard to see without the ability to zoom. Here is a link to the post on my tumblr account where you can zoom in and see all seven sons properly. lol

Loving this play SO much. It‘s even helping me with my Hume paper, but it‘s way more fun to read than Hume. lol #othello #shakespeare #shakespearereadalong #davidhume #gradschoolproblems #humeproblems #rsc
