Don Gwinn Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 The St. Crispin's day speech is a great passage, and Shakespeare is just so quotable. "Cry havoc! And let slip the dogs of war." "O, he is the courageous captain of compliments. He fights as you sing prick-song, keeps time, distance, and proportion; rests me his minim rest, one, two, and the third in your bosom: the very butcher of a silk button, a duellist, a duellist; a gentleman of the very first house, of the first and second cause: ah, the immortal passado! the punto reverso! the hai!" ____________________________________* Ignorant Taekwondo beginner.http://www.thefiringline.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punchdrunk Posted November 8, 2002 Share Posted November 8, 2002 I love playing Shakespeare. My favorite roles I've played are: Richard III in "Henry VI part 2 & 3" - Great challenge speech towards Clifford. He's more of a straight up fighter until the second half of part 3 when he starts turning sneaky. That's the setup for Richard III the play. Until then this role is the closest thing to a cross between a Bond villain and a professional wrestler that I have ever played on stage Pandarus in "Troylus & Cressida" - This guy is such a conniving adorable bisexual rogue and has so much fun matchmaking and causing trouble that it is almost heartbreaking when he is overcome with the pox by the end. Polonius in "Hamlet" - I could play this character a hundred times and still come up with more reasons for his mix of pedantry and wisdom. Plus he is a household favorite because my wife played him in an all female version of the show. One cannot choose to be passive without the option to be aggressive.
