If a link to this production exists, I need it please

I need to see Goggle Gloucester

Do I have a history test tomorrow which I should be studying for? Yes.

BUT Goggle Gloucester is clearly a priority.

I should be reading A Worn Path but the amount I don’t care about it is astronomical.

In an attempt to find a specific production of King Lear, I accidentally found this other production of King Lear, which I didn’t watch yet

But I skipped to the end to see the last scene

And. Edgar and Edmund’s duel.

Let me tell you how it went.

Edmund: *charges at full speed at Edgar*

Edgar: *literally just holds out his sword in front of him*

Edmund: *runs right into it*

That’s it that’s the entire duel

Ok so

I’ve watched Act 1 and 2 so far- and I have much to say about it-

(But I don’t want to completely derail this post so I’m gonna put it under a cut)

(I only started taking notes on it at 1.2, so there are very few notes on 1.1)

1.1- Regan’s fake crying! I love it

-Cordelia’s confidence is turned up to a solid 100%, which you don’t see in most productions. Normally she’s played as naive or innocent, but here it seems like she knows she can get banished and still is like “yup this system is stupid and I’m gonna make that clear to everyone”

1.2- Edmund at “my dimensions as well compact” be like “yes I’m hot yes I know that I’m hot. Deal with it.”

-FINALLY a production of Lear where Gloucester’s actually angry instead of just mildly concerned!!

-Edmund in most productions of King Lear: “well I totally don’t want to give you this letter, but since you asked a few times, I guess I have to”

Edmund in this production of lear: “oh heck gotta give you this letter before you literally start beating me what the heck Gloucester please dont attack me”

-Edmund during the Foppery soliloquy “ah yes I am now a stand up comedian”. No but seriously he says it has if he’s a stand up comedian. I love it.

-Edgar. Why. Why would you point your knife at Edmund. He’s supposedly trying to save you.

1.3- OSWLAD. That’s all I have to say.

1.4- Kent *puts on a hat*. Kent “I am now disguised. No one will recognize me”.

-Lear’s knights are loud and obnoxious. As they should be.

-Lear: “your name?” Kent: “Ken- CAIUS!!”

- Oswald: “my lady’s father”. Lear: “mY lAdY’s FaThEr”

<I didn’t take notes on 1.5>

2.1- I think Edmund pronounced Curan as “Karen” and that distracted me so much that I wasn’t focused on the rest of their conversation

-by Edgar and Edmund’s “epid sword fight part 1″ (part 2 will be their duel btw), Edmund does some exaggerated stabbing with sound effects (”hyah! Hyyyyah!!”) and Edgar just stands there holding a knife.

-Ok. The way he says “And so. Farewell”. I love it. The tone of voice. It’s like he’s saying “welp. That was easy.”

-I HAVE NO WORDS IM CRYING CORNWALL BANDAGED EDMNUDS HAND IM SORRY THIS WHOLE POST IS CANCELLED THAT’S MY THING THAT’S ONE OF THE THINGS I WROTE IN MY THING (you all know what my thing is. Or you don’t. It’s ok- I don’t except you to)

2.2- Kent: “I love thee not”. Oswald: *is deeply offended*

-Oswald is about to cry and tbh if I were him I would also be- imagine if some stranger just started insulting you for no reason

-Oswald *sees that Kent has a knife*. Oswald “oh HECK ITS A KNIFE HELP PLEASE I DONT WANNA DIE TODAY”

-i ship Regan and Cornwall so much right now

2.3- Edgar be like I’m gonna strip now. Also I’m gonna go feral (I know. I know that’s what it’s like in every production because that’s literally the play. But still)

2.4- The stocks is literally a cage. An actual cage.

-I’m very distracted by Regan’s heels. I know they’re average height heels. But I could never survive in those.

-oooo Regan’s doing her fake crying thing again and I APPROVE

-Cornwall looks kinda like that guy from Studio C (the youtube channel)? Is it just me? I think the guy’s name was Matt or something? Maybe it’s just the camera angle and lighting in this scene? Idk.

-Regan’s really like “I can and will fake cry without hesitation”

-Regan: “SHUT UP YOUR DOORS!!” Regan: “oh- I really didn’t mean to scream that loudly-”

ANYWAY that’s all I have for now.

Should I have made this a separate post? Probably.

## TALES FROM ENGLISH CLASS

This girl just asked if she could be Ophelia today.

Ophelia is dead.

That’s it that’s all I have to say for today’s class.
