PLAYING SHAKESPEARE (1982): 1. THE TWO TRADITIONS
(DVD description)
A SERIES OF MASTER CLASSES WITH THE GREATEST SHAKESPEAREAN ACTORS OF THEIR AGE
SIT IN ON NINE INTENSIVE ACTING WORKSHOPS conducted by the legendary John Barton of the Royal Shakespeare Company. How does this world-renowned troupe make classic plays accessible to modern audiences, without compromising the text's integrity? How do actors search Shakespeare's verse for hidden clues to their characters' motivations? How do they balance intellect and passion to make theatre's most famous soliloquies seem fresh?
The answers come from Barton and 21 of Britain's finest actors, including Judi Dench ("Shakespeare in Love," "Iris"), Ben Kingsley ("Gandhi," "Schindler's List"), Peggy Ashcroft ("A Passage to India"), Ian McKellen ("The Lord in the Rings," "Gods & Monsters"), Patrick Stewart ("X-Men," "Star Trek: The Next Generation"), and David Suchet ("Agatha Christie's Poirot).
Also starring Sinéad Cusack, Susan Fleetwood, Sheila Hancock, Alan Howard, Donald Sinden, Michael Williams, and more.
1. THE TWO TRADITIONS
Shakespeare wrote for a performance style that differs in many respects from modern, "naturalistic" acting. Barton urges the actors to marry both traditions for the richest, most faithful characterizations.
