I'm on it

Lear:
Behold yond simpering dame,
Whose face between her forks presages snow;
That minces virtue, and does shake the head
To hear of pleasure’s name;
The fitchew, nor the soiled horse, goes to ‘t
With a more riotous appetite.
Down from the waist they are Centaurs,
Though women all above:
But to the girdle do the gods inherit,
Beneath is all the fiends’; there’s hell, there’s darkness,
there’s the sulphurous pit, burning, scalding,
stench, consumption; fie, fie, fie! pah, pah!
Give me an ounce of civet, good apothecary,
to sweeten my imagination.

If you actually listen to old men they don't actually talk like stereotypes of old men

To be honest mate it wasn't a full characterisation I just went for a voice

not funny at all, severe cringe

>>11485336
Little bit flat imo. I'm not following that dude into any breaches

>>11485355
Yeah I agree - saw a version that was done really softly and intimately that actually really worked for me but the immediacy and stirring of the troops is definitely more important

hello hello

I like Kenneth Brannagh's delivery for the rousing/brotherhood aspect of it. Lacks subtlety but I guess Harry is still pretty immature at agincourt so maybe that's not a bad thing

Caesar, I never stood on ceremonies,
Yet now they fright me. There is one within,
Besides the things that we have heard and seen,
Recounts most horrid sights seen by the watch.
A lioness hath whelped in the streets;
And graves have yawn'd, and yielded up their dead;
Fierce fiery warriors fought upon the clouds,
In ranks and squadrons and right form of war,
Which drizzled blood upon the Capitol;
The noise of battle hurtled in the air,
Horses did neigh, and dying men did groan,
And ghosts did shriek and squeal about the streets.
O Caesar! these things are beyond all use,
And I do fear them.

hey, i see you're getting swamped with requests, but give this a try if you have a spare minute:

CORIOLANUS
You common cry of curs! whose breath I hate
As reek o' the rotten fens, whose loves I prize
As the dead carcasses of unburied men
That do corrupt my air, I banish you;
And here remain with your uncertainty!
Let every feeble rumour shake your hearts!
Your enemies, with nodding of their plumes,
Fan you into despair! Have the power still
To banish your defenders; till at length
Your ignorance, which finds not till it feels,
Making not reservation of yourselves,
Still your own foes, deliver you as most
Abated captives to some nation
That won you without blows! Despising,
For you, the city, thus I turn my back:
There is a world elsewhere.
