William Shakespeare? 66 00:04:39,442 --> 00:04:42,312 We're peddling him on the streets. 67 00:04:42,737 --> 00:04:45,406 I remember our English teacher sent us to see... 68 00:04:45,573 --> 00:04:49,357 a local college production of King Lear. 69 00:04:49,535 --> 00:04:51,528 I went with my girlfriend... 70 00:04:51,704 --> 00:04:53,613 and after about 10 minutes of these people: 71 00:04:55,416 --> 00:04:59,829 They were doing this kind of Shakespearean acting. 72 00:05:00,004 --> 00:05:04,333 I just tuned right out. We made out in the back row and left at intermissión. 73 00:05:04,550 --> 00:05:07,172 I was brought up in a school... 74 00:05:07,345 --> 00:05:11,093 where Shakespeare was taught very kind of... 75 00:05:11,265 --> 00:05:13,721 straightforwardly and dully, to be honest. 76 00:05:13,893 --> 00:05:18,602 We read it aloud and it made no sense, because there was no connection made. 77 00:05:19,065 --> 00:05:20,856 My own experience... 78 00:05:21,025 --> 00:05:25,521 was in the fields in Michigan, where I was raised on a farm... 79 00:05:25,696 --> 00:05:29,480 and an uncle, who was a Northern guy, black Northern guy... 80 00:05:29,659 --> 00:05:32,328 came out of the field one day and started narrating... 81 00:05:32,495 --> 00:05:36,160 Antony's speech, the funeral oration. 82 00:05:36,332 --> 00:05:40,412 - From Shakespeare's Julius Caesar? - Yeah. We'd heard stuff from the Bible... 83 00:05:40,586 --> 00:05:43,587 but my first time as a kid, I was hearing... 84 00:05:43,756 --> 00:05:46,627 great words having great meaning. 85 00:05:48,344 --> 00:05:49,672 What brings us to Montreal? 86 00:05:51,347 --> 00:05:52,675 To Paris? To London? 87 00:05:52,848 --> 00:05:55,684 What takes us into dungeons, to parapets... 88 00:05:55,851 --> 00:05:59,137 - To Japan next. - To Japan, maybe, is a quest. 89 00:06:00,773 --> 00:06:02,766 It has always been a dream of mine... 90 00:06:02,942 --> 00:06:07,236 to communicate how I feel about Shakespeare to other people. 91 00:06:07,446 --> 00:06:12,155 So I asked my friend Frederic Kimball, who is an actor and a writer... 92 00:06:12,326 --> 00:06:14,900 and also our colleagues Michael Hadge... 93 00:06:15,079 --> 00:06:17,202 and James Bulleit, to join me. 94 00:06:17,373 --> 00:06:21,952 And by taking this one play, Richard III... 95 00:06:22,128 --> 00:06:25,413 analyzing it, approaching it from different angles... 96 00:06:25,840 --> 00:06:28,710 putting on costumes, playing out scenes... 97 00:06:28,926 --> 00:06:33,553 we could communicate both our passión for it... 98 00:06:33,723 --> 00:06:36,842 our understanding that we've come to... 99 00:06:37,018 --> 00:06:38,595 and in doing that... 100 00:06:38,894 --> 00:06:42,762 communicate a Shakespeare that is about how we feel... 101 00:06:42,940 --> 00:06:47,649 and how we think today. That's the effort we're gonna give it here. 102 00:06:47,862 --> 00:06:50,020 We've done Richard three times. Twice. 103 00:06:50,197 --> 00:06:54,575 You did it at the Studio, we've done it in Boston and on Broadway. 104 00:06:54,744 --> 00:06:58,824 At least, the head start is that I've done it. You've done it. 105 00:06:58,998 --> 00:07:02,248 But the problem, Frederic... The audience hasn't done it. 106 00:07:02,418 --> 00:07:05,039 - They haven't done it. - It's a difficult play. 107 00:07:06,714 --> 00:07:09,287 If someone were to ask you about Richard III... 108 00:07:09,467 --> 00:07:11,958 what would you remember about it? 109 00:07:12,136 --> 00:07:17,296 To be honest, I really don't remember that much, if anything at all. 110 00:07:18,142 --> 00:07:22,222 Did you know that Richard III had a deformed arm and a deformed back? 111 00:07:22,396 --> 00:07:24,638 - No, I didn't. - You didn't know that? 112 00:07:25,024 --> 00:07:28,357 The play, Richard III, about the guy with the humpback? 113 00:07:28,527 --> 00:07:30,152 - No. - You got me there. 114 00:07:30,321 --> 00:07:31,352 Mm-mm. 115 00:07:31,530 --> 00:07:35,362 He was a humpback? "A horse. A horse. My kingdom for a horse"? 116 00:07:35,534 --> 00:07:38,488 - That comes from Richard III. - It does, yes. 117 00:07:38,871 --> 00:07:42,121 I mean, nobody knows who Richard III is. 118 00:07:42,708 --> 00:07:44,997 - Nobody. - It's a tough play to get. 119 00:07:45,169 --> 00:07:47,625 The relationships between those characters. 120 00:07:47,797 --> 00:07:51,960 - Who can keep it straight? - Well, I think the question is... 121 00:07:52,134 --> 00:07:55,503 what is the understanding? I mean, the understanding is... 122 00:07:55,680 --> 00:08:00,591 It's a simply... Can you follow the story line and the plot? 123 00:08:00,768 --> 00:08:05,181 We've provided this kind of docudrama-type thing... 124 00:08:05,356 --> 00:08:10,184 to inform some of the scenes so you know where you are. 125 00:08:10,403 --> 00:08:14,566 For instance, there's an early scene with the queen... 126 00:08:14,740 --> 00:08:17,065 and her brother and her two sons... 127 00:08:17,243 --> 00:08:20,244 which is outside in an anteroom... 128 00:08:20,538 --> 00:08:24,452 waiting for the king to call them in because he is inside, sick. 129 00:08:24,625 --> 00:08:29,501 The queen is worried. She's afraid the king will die, who is her husband. 130 00:08:29,672 --> 00:08:34,168 And when he dies, the only... 131 00:08:34,343 --> 00:08:39,254 The only people left to inherit the throne are her two young sons... 132 00:08:39,473 --> 00:08:40,802 by the king himself. 133 00:08:40,975 --> 00:08:44,510 She has two sons by a previous marriage, which are in the scene. 134 00:08:44,687 --> 00:08:49,515 And she's afraid that the character I play, Richard III of Gloucester... 135 00:08:49,692 --> 00:08:53,108 is going to take hold of the situation... 136 00:08:53,362 --> 00:08:58,154 and somehow manipulate them into thinking... 137 00:08:58,576 --> 00:09:02,027 that they're, you know... That the kids are... 138 00:09:02,204 --> 00:09:05,620 I'm confused just saying it. I can imagine how you must feel... 139 00:09:05,791 --> 00:09:07,867 hearing me talk. It's confusing. 140 00:09:08,043 --> 00:09:10,879 I don't know why we even bother doing this at all. 141 00:09:11,046 --> 00:09:12,873 But we'll give it a little try. 142 00:09:14,717 --> 00:09:18,797 Let's see what we can come up with. First of all, let's get a smaller... 143 00:09:18,971 --> 00:09:22,838 Let's work out of a smaller book than this. This is hard to carry. 144 00:09:23,017 --> 00:09:25,686 - Excuse me, but look at this. "Hello?" - I think... 145 00:09:25,853 --> 00:09:29,685 "Yes. It's my entrance? Oh, I see." 146 00:09:35,488 --> 00:09:39,948 It's good sometimes that you open it, and it is Richard, it's not Hamlet. 147 00:09:40,117 --> 00:09:42,739 Sometimes in Shakespeare, there's a tendency... 148 00:09:42,912 --> 00:09:44,620 to confuse the plays. 149 00:09:46,707 --> 00:09:50,372 The first act is about a sick king, and everybody maneuvering... 150 00:09:50,544 --> 00:09:55,621 Sure. Around. I wish that this play... 151 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:59,169 could begin... 152 00:09:59,345 --> 00:10:00,803 on the body... 153 00:10:00,971 --> 00:10:03,545 On the sleeping king... 154 00:10:03,724 --> 00:10:06,760 Edward IV, your brother, in bed. Yeah. 155 00:10:06,936 --> 00:10:11,811 And it pans up and you are standing over him, looking at him. 156 00:10:13,234 --> 00:10:15,025 Yeah. 157 00:10:15,778 --> 00:10:18,447 - Yes, but he's alive, the king is alive. - Yes. 158 00:10:18,614 --> 00:10:23,193 I would prefer having him off in the distance. I'd like... 159 00:10:23,369 --> 00:10:26,820 - Good. You can watch him. - I'd like to walk... 160 00:10:26,997 --> 00:10:29,286 - Frederic? Can you get the other end? - Yeah. 161 00:10:29,458 --> 00:10:31,202 I'd like... Hi, how are you? 162 00:10:31,377 --> 00:10:34,046 Frederic and I decided to go to The Cloisters... 163 00:10:34,213 --> 00:10:36,704 a museum that has a medieval setting... 164 00:10:36,882 --> 00:10:40,927 which is good for us because the play takes place in this period. 165 00:10:41,095 --> 00:10:43,586 We thought we'd rehearse in this atmosphere. 166 00:10:43,764 --> 00:10:46,255 We're shooting him. We're shooting him. 167 00:10:46,433 --> 00:10:50,265 I'll be with you in a minute, if you can just wait for me out there. 168 00:10:51,730 --> 00:10:55,265 - So you're here. - Okay. Okay. 169 00:10:55,651 --> 00:10:57,976 - And here we are. - Okay. 170 00:10:59,697 --> 00:11:04,026 Now, you're Richard's brother, the sick king, and I'm Richard.

Hopefully somehow... 287 00:18:05,497 --> 00:18:07,739 the role and the actor will merge. 288 00:18:07,916 --> 00:18:11,665 The actor will find the role. An actor will read one part... 289 00:18:11,837 --> 00:18:15,585 another actor reads another. Hopefully, the casting will get done. 290 00:18:17,843 --> 00:18:19,752 Who 's got Dorset? 291 00:18:20,637 --> 00:18:22,677 Who's got Dorset?

Yes. 297 00:18:36,403 --> 00:18:38,609 You two guys better sit on each other. 298 00:18:40,407 --> 00:18:42,696 We used two actors in the same part. 299 00:18:44,036 --> 00:18:49,540 It'll take us four weeks of rehearsal to figure out what parts we're playing. 300 00:18:50,375 --> 00:18:54,788 In more modern plays, we feel that we understand it. It's there for us. 301 00:18:54,963 --> 00:18:59,459 But in Shakespeare, you have an entire company on the stage... 302 00:18:59,634 --> 00:19:04,676 good actors not knowing where they're going. Where they are! 303 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,474 As Americans, what is that...? That thing... 304 00:19:13,648 --> 00:19:15,890 that gets between us and Shakespeare? 305 00:19:16,068 --> 00:19:21,275 That makes some of our best actors just stop when it comes to Shakespeare? 306 00:19:21,490 --> 00:19:24,360 The problem with being an American in Shakespeare... 307 00:19:24,534 --> 00:19:28,828 is you approach it reverentially. We have a feeling, I think... 308 00:19:28,997 --> 00:19:32,449 of inferiority to the way it has been done by the British. 309 00:19:33,043 --> 00:19:37,123 I think Americans have been made to feel inhibited... 310 00:19:38,006 --> 00:19:41,458 because they've been told so long by their critics... 311 00:19:41,635 --> 00:19:44,090 by their scholars and commentators... 312 00:19:44,262 --> 00:19:46,338 that they cannot do Shakespeare. 313 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:50,803 Therefore they think they can't, and you become totally self-conscious. 314 00:19:50,977 --> 00:19:53,978 American actors are not self-conscious. 315 00:19:54,147 --> 00:19:56,638 But they are when it comes to Shakespeare. 316 00:19:56,817 --> 00:20:01,313 Because they've been told they can't do it, and they foolishly believed that. 317 00:20:02,239 --> 00:20:06,735 Perhaps they don't go to picture galleries and read books as much as we do. 318 00:20:06,910 --> 00:20:11,038 I think it's the effect of how everyone looked and behaved... 319 00:20:11,206 --> 00:20:14,741 that one got a sort of Elizabethan feeling of period. 320 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,415 Experienced classical actors... 321 00:20:17,587 --> 00:20:21,834 have a few things that they can use at a moment's notice. 322 00:20:22,008 --> 00:20:24,844 The understanding of iambic pentameter, for one thing. 323 00:20:25,011 --> 00:20:27,337 Everybody says, "lambic pentameter." 324 00:20:29,266 --> 00:20:31,139 What is that supposed to mean? 325 00:20:31,351 --> 00:20:34,305 Some say there are no rules. I say there are rules... 326 00:20:34,479 --> 00:20:37,397 like the iambic pentameter, that must be learned... 327 00:20:37,566 --> 00:20:39,689 and can be rejected once learned. 328 00:20:39,901 --> 00:20:43,816 "Pentameter" means "meter," and "pen," meaning "five." 329 00:20:43,989 --> 00:20:46,028 So there's five beats. 330 00:20:46,241 --> 00:20:48,447 Which, at its worst, sounds only like: 331 00:20:48,618 --> 00:20:52,237 "Why, so. Now have I done a good day's work." 332 00:20:52,414 --> 00:20:54,371 De-da de-da de-da de-da de-da. 333 00:20:54,583 --> 00:20:56,789 And iambic is where the accent goes. 334 00:20:57,002 --> 00:20:59,409 That's de-tum de-tum de-tum de-tum. 335 00:20:59,629 --> 00:21:03,497 And five of them: Da-da da-da da-da da-da da-da. 336 00:21:03,675 --> 00:21:08,004 Make a pentameter line, five iambs. 337 00:21:08,180 --> 00:21:12,758 An iamb is like an anteater. 338 00:21:12,934 --> 00:21:17,643 Very high in the back and very short, little front legs. Da-da! 339 00:21:19,357 --> 00:21:24,732 Shakespeare's poetry and his iambics... 340 00:21:24,905 --> 00:21:28,689 floated and descended through the pentameter of the soul. 341 00:21:28,867 --> 00:21:34,288 And it's the soul, the spirit of real, concrete people going through hell... 342 00:21:34,456 --> 00:21:38,240 and sometimes moments of great... 343 00:21:39,044 --> 00:21:42,045 achievement and joy. 344 00:21:42,214 --> 00:21:44,787 That is the pentameter you must focus on... 345 00:21:44,966 --> 00:21:48,086 and should you find that reality... 346 00:21:49,054 --> 00:21:52,174 all the iambics will fall into place. 347 00:21:52,849 --> 00:21:58,223 Dive, thoughts, down to my soul. Here Clarence comes. 348 00:21:58,939 --> 00:22:00,848 Brother, good day. 349 00:22:01,024 --> 00:22:04,274 What means this armed guard that waits upon your grace? 350 00:22:04,444 --> 00:22:07,778 His majesty tendering my safety, hath appointed this conduct... 351 00:22:07,948 --> 00:22:09,525 to convey me to the Tower. 352 00:22:09,741 --> 00:22:13,192 - Upon what cause? - Because my name is George. 353 00:22:13,620 --> 00:22:15,031 Clarence... 354 00:22:15,997 --> 00:22:17,990 what is the matter?

You know? 406 00:25:09,504 --> 00:25:12,291 And it's hard to understand, to grasp them. 407 00:25:12,465 --> 00:25:16,415 They're not fancy words. That's where we get confused. 408 00:25:16,594 --> 00:25:20,295 But they're poetry. It's hard to grab hold of some rap slang too. 409 00:25:20,724 --> 00:25:24,673 It's hard to get hold of it until your ear gets tuned. You have to tune up. 410 00:25:24,894 --> 00:25:27,468 In a contemporary play, someone says: 411 00:25:27,647 --> 00:25:31,146 "Hey, you. Go over there, get that thing and bring it to me." 412 00:25:31,317 --> 00:25:33,939 That would be the line.

You'll get it. 422 00:26:04,684 --> 00:26:07,258 And if he were dead... 423 00:26:08,062 --> 00:26:10,221 what would betide on me? 424 00:26:10,398 --> 00:26:12,723 No other harm but loss of such a lord. 425 00:26:12,901 --> 00:26:16,768 The loss of such a lord includes all harm. 426 00:26:16,946 --> 00:26:21,324 They're trying to soothe her because she is an hysteric. 427 00:26:21,534 --> 00:26:25,579 - She is way out of control. - But does that weaken... 428 00:26:25,747 --> 00:26:28,072 the reality of what's happening? 429 00:26:28,249 --> 00:26:30,621 It strengthens the incompetence of others... 430 00:26:30,794 --> 00:26:33,082 But why should they be incompetent? 431 00:26:33,254 --> 00:26:36,172 - Why make them weaker? - Because they went to Ludlow... 432 00:26:36,341 --> 00:26:39,211 with little train and got their heads cut off. 433 00:26:39,385 --> 00:26:44,297 But then it's no great deed on his part if you make them weak. 434 00:26:44,516 --> 00:26:46,757 They're not weak. They're not weak... 435 00:26:46,935 --> 00:26:49,604 nor do I think that they're stupid. I think... 436 00:26:49,771 --> 00:26:53,685 By diminishing their importance, you diminish his actions. 437 00:26:53,858 --> 00:26:57,938 - It's bound to happen. - It's a very human, familial thing to say: 438 00:26:58,154 --> 00:27:01,191 "Calm down. It will be all right." But underneath it... 439 00:27:01,366 --> 00:27:05,031 they know what the scoop is, and I keep throwing back at them: 440 00:27:05,203 --> 00:27:08,572 "Stop!
