- We welcome actor, writer, commentator and beloved British television personality Stephen Fry now appearing in the Shakespeare's Globe production of "Twelfth Night." Although this is Fry's Broadway acting debut, he worked on Broadway before as the librettist of the 1986 musical hit "Me and My Girl." Fry shares his observations on how Broadway has changed in the last 28 years, as well as his expertise on many topics relevant to Shakespeare and the wildly successful revival in which he's now appearing.

Theater Talk is a series devoted to the world of the stage. It began on New York television in 1993 and is co-hosted by Michael Riedel (Broadway columnist for the New York Post) and series producer Susan Haskins.
The program is one of the few independent productions on PBS and now airs weekly on Thirteen/WNET in New York and WGBH in Boston. Now, CUNY TV offers New York City viewers additional opportunities to catch each week's show. (Of course, Theater Talk is no stranger to CUNY TV, since the show is taped here each week before its first airing on Thirteen/WNET.)
The series is produced by Theater Talk Productions, a not-for-profit corporation and is funded by contributions from private foundations and individuals, as well as The New York State Council on the Arts. - Zábava
Among my very favorite memories of my years in New York: 12.14.13, seeing Twelfth Night, and...at the end of the show (I sat on the stage)...Fry coming out to announce the passing of Peter O'Toole. As sad as that was to hear (but no surprise), Fry's loving and respectful speech and storytelling was moving and hilarious. I treasure that memory.
One of my favorite people in the world.
hammertapping So, you're a Christian?
Mark Kingston No, you're a fuckwit.
hammertapping Racist?! Oppressive?! He is one of the most intelligent, well spoken, talented and morally just personalities in the UK. He is a vocal campaigner for equal rights, both in race and in terms of gay rights and I challenge you to find ONE newspaper article from a well-established source with proof to back up this rubbish that you're spouting - and when I say article, I don't mean just any nutcase troll online spouting loads of shit. And as far as I'm aware, his own controversial public remark was commenting on the high levels of anti-semitism in Poland. He was forced to retract the remark, but judging from what we saw during the Euro 2012 football tournament, we know that this opinion is not so far from the truth. So if you're hating on him for being against anti-semitism, then YOU saw are an utter cock-womble!!
@hammertapping Where is your evidence, you mupty?
You guys might want to rethink the title of the tv station lol, I guess I might be mildly dyslexic, but you don't want to know what I read it as first.
I’m not dyslexic and I read the same thing.
love him and Mark and Clare and Jenny and Peter and Will and Sam ad the Globe, they are so great in the midst and above at the same time...
I bought the dvd of 'Twelfth Night' a few months ago and it's one of the best ever!! I've watched it over and over !
Me, too! My husband and I love both Stephen Fry and Mark Rylance in everything they do-- so great to see them be able to act together in "Twelfth Night"! (Have you read Fry's three volumes of memoirs? My husband and I read all three them aloud to each other-- so good and highly recommended if you're a fan of his too and haven't read them yet!)
Very interesting thanks for the upload
Master of Laketown! xD
Listen to Mark Rylance on authorship. Strained attempts at explanations here revealed: Twelfth Night epiphanies.
"return to David Dinkins police tactics"
Hahaha . . .
In fact the turnaround in crime began under Dinkins with his "community policing". And the turnaround at Times Square, which they begin the interview talking about, was started by Dinkins getting Disney to agree to come in.
Well the guy is from the New York Post, so what did I expect?
Lord Salisbury, the last PM from House of Lords.
He looks so similar to Judy Dench.
I like Stephen but he does have a tendency to mutter.
One of those people who talk themselves to sleep.
The thing that galls most is that he’s wrong. Sam Barnett doesn’t play Olivia, he plays Olivia’s brother. How present was Steven in all this?
He plays Viola's brother. Olivia's brother is dead, which is why she is in mourning.
Barnett plays Viola's brother, Sebastian, but the actors playing the twins switched roles. There is a dvd with Barnett playing Sebastian, but clips here show him playing Viola. Olivia's brother is dead at the play's beginning, and Sebastian, Viola's brother is thought to be dead. Mary Rylance plays Olivia.
@@emilystockard8027 My bad, thank you for educating me!
Was he any good? Stephen Fry turns his hands to many activities but acting hasn't been his greatest strengths. I recall he has four good turns; Jeeves, Oscar Wilde, a comedy Duke of Wellington and General Melchett.
I saw Fry play Malvolio at the Globe, and I thought he did the job very well.
I never thought he was a good actor. That Oscar Wilde film was terrible.
As Malvolio he was utterly perfect, working the crowd incredibly well-- try and locate a DVD recording of the RSC Twelfth Night if you can, it's certainly worth it !
He was an excellent Malvolio and earned a well deserved Tony nomination
Kingdom?
I understand the ranting, I mean a like the guy a lot, but I can not feel easy about it when I know he dislike my race, Arabs, I try to overlook that esp with ppl in showbiz but it is not that easy, one day all these ppl will be looked at as we look at anti-Semites now, till then, lets just enjoy the show
Abdulaziz Ahmed I'm confused, when has he said anything about Arabs?
Saxo Ungrammaticus He hasn't. That's simply paranoid ranting from nutters
Fry is so overrated, as far as his opinions. You can watch Twelfth Night 2012 on CZcams. The whole company is wonderful. Especially Mark Rylance and the men playing Toby Belch & Maria, and Aguecheek & Feste. #glorious
