I WAS ASSIGNED A ROLE OF JACQUES IN A ACTING COMPETITION AND WE WON BECAUSE OF THIS VIDEO
Congratulations, Aatmika! We're glad we could help.
Same shit happening to me right now
I love the rendition of the actor. The way he delivered his part was magnificent.
Feels like I went from lover to pantaloon.
I am a 13 year old girl and Im proud to be attending Camp Shakespeare this summer. I was assigned the role of Jaques and all thanks to me watching this over and over again I might be able to memorize one of the many huge paragraphs I was given. '~' scary. But thanks to these wonderful actors I am determined to make it happen! :)

Wonderful
All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages. At first, the infant, Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms. Then the whining schoolboy, with his satchel And shining morning face, creeping like snail Unwillingly to school. And then the lover, Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier, Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard, Jealous in honor, sudden and quick in quarrel, Seeking the bubble reputation Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice, In fair round belly with good capon lined, With eyes severe and beard of formal cut, Full of wise saws and modern instances; And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts Into the lean and slippered pantaloon, With spectacles on nose and pouch on side; His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide For his shrunk shank, and his big manly voice, Turning again toward childish treble, pipes And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all, That ends this strange eventful history, Is second childishness and mere oblivion, Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.
Someone please explain this scene to me

Sadly most interpretations don't include the most important part of this speech, the stage direction right after that disprove, in four words, all of it: "Enter ORLANDO bearing ADAM". This speech that reduces the human condition to that of an animal, stuck in the unchanging stage of life is disproven by the humanity of Orlando, ready in his youth to sacrifice all he has to save an old man who had left a good life and abandoned all he had worked for to be with Orlando. Shakespeare never meant for All the World's a Stage to be taken out of context from his piece, the whole speech is to mock those who think like Jaques.
This explains the 2020 election!!!!
School assignment anyone?
someone explain this in frat terms
I know all your play
I thought that was Tim minchin
Alas I have stumbled upon *d r a m a*
is the man sitting near the fire Ben Affleck??
I've never seen this scene sneered before...

Thou seest we are not all alone unhappy.
This wide and universal theater
Presents more woeful pageants than the scene Wherein we play in.

I thought this was supposed to be melancholic, not angry or contemptuous.
I'm 11 and there at ges stay back and extra school at Saturday free KFC from sir roy
the one who came here by class 7 images book reading the poem like
Is he blind?
my, that was disappointing. not good.
agree
Undoubtedly a great contemporary actor with a lot of life, and energy, but he completely ruined Shakespeare's verse. The speech is written in verse, therefore must be treated differently than any other speech. He got the beat changes, but he took too many breaths, too many pauses. It must be spoken "trippingly on the tongue" - this guy did not do so.
Great transitions - seemingly seamless - but would have made it even more seamless would have been speaking the verse properly. No breaths in the middle of the line - regardless if there is a caesura. No run-on lines - regardless if there is a lack of punctuation. Just a couple of the things that he did that are not technically correct. His mis-scansions (good CAPon lin'd, not good caPON lin'd), and his lack of smoothness and coolness really took away from the speech. His 'whirlwind of passions' did not allow him to 'beget a smoothness' as Shakespeare would've wanted.
Every great shakespearean actor takes an anticipated 'lift' (as it is called in singing) at the end of the line - not necessarily a breath, unless needed - in order to set up the following thought. If Shakespeare wanted you to breath in the middle of the line, he would've ended the line and gone to the next, or just simply written in prose.
Brilliant actor, but does not do justice to the text itself.
+Niko Combitsis I agree that the verse does need to respected but I don't think it does Shakespeare any justice to stick religiously close to it like music. An actor must foremost "let his own discretion be his tutor" and "o'erstep not the modesty of nature". Remember that the iambic pentameter is our natural rhythm of speech, and it's really there more for the actors benefit than the audiences. The most important thing is to understand the words and the meanings before you worry about the rhythm of it. And taking artistic licence where necessary is not disrespectful and should be encouraged, personally I can't stand it when an actor over does the verse and pauses at the end of every line, it just doesn't sound natural. Okay it is poetry and should be treated as such, but ultimately it is more important that the emotions and the meanings are there, and that it's acted properly.
Any formulaic approach to the verse would drain the life out of the text, and rob the words of meaning.
Anthony Gretton It's really interesting to hear other people's take on how the perceive Shakespeare should be done, so I' intrigued by your comment for sure, and I appreciate you challenging me!
Sir Peter Hall, one of the best Shakespearean directors of this time (still living) insists the text is spoken this way. As does Peter Brook, Jon Barton, Cecily Berry (sp?) (all still living) and a number of other fantastic Shakespearean directors, actors, and coaches - all of whom, incidentally have something to do with the RSC and therefore arose out of the British tradition of acting, which is by extension, Shakespeare's tradition. I could be wrong in assuming your heritage, but I believe you are speaking from an American tradition, and this is, not to belittle your opinion, simply not the way Shakespeare was intended. The American contemporary theatre is a type of theatre reliant very much on emotion, and it's extremely anaesthetizing to see pure emotion and no delivery. If you can find the meeting place between the two, then you are where you should be, but if you give only delivery and emotion, then you have fallen short of giving a good performance.
I understand the the Iambic Pentameter is meant to mimic our own human speech, and I am not for a moment insinuating we should treat it as high poetry, on the contrary, I am saying we should treat it as normal human speech, as Shakespeare intended. You see, in life, we hardly speak with commas, and proper pauses, etc. so to assume we must follow punctuation, or emotion, simply has no humanistic backup here. In our natural rhythmic speech, we hardly speak as we would write something! The sentence, "I want to tell you how I truly feel, Eliza" would probably be said in life, "I, uh.... look, I wanted to tell you... how I truly feel... Eliza?". We VERY OFTEN take liberal pauses in our speech (perhaps the above example is a bit farfetched, but you get the point, I hope), so to follow to the comma, or follow the line to the emotion is ill-advised, and rather not-useful to us. If one follows the Verse line, they can EASILY be led to the emotion of the speech (which helps the actor, and by extension helps the audience as well. There is a dual purpose to proper verse speaking).
Take this line from Coriolanus:
"Cut me to pieces Volsces men and lads,
Stain all your edges on me boy! Falsehound!
If you have writ your annals true, 'tis there,
That like an eagle in a dovecote, I
Fluttered your Volscians in Corioli.
Alone I did it. Boy."
Take a look at the thought break at the end of the fourth line. If you were to run that line on, you would lose nearly all the emotional severity of this moment. However, if you said, "like an eagle in a dovecote, I...." and took a pause there, putting an accent on the word "I" (because you are trying to express how alone you truly are in this battle) and allowed your mouth to fill with air, and allow the emotion to bubble at the tip of your tongue and then burst out with "FLUTTERED your Volscians, etc.", you would have a MUCH more powerful performance of that text. But if you were to run it on, IGNORE the verse, and simply say, "like an eagle in a dovecote, I fluttered your Volscians in Corioli" you'd be, to put it simply, butchering an emotionally charged text.
The verse is there to aid you in delivering it with the proper character, the proper emotion. I teach master classes on how the verse can actually dictate both the emotion and the character, and it is very simply understood if one simply looks at the scansion of the lines - you mustn't go any further than scansion and topography a lot of the time! A deeper understanding of what you are saying is a given, and any actor who does not have that is asking for trouble, and no amount of technique can help them - but the problem lies in whether they can properly deliver the meaning they have extracted from the text. Because once you have the meaning, emotion, etc. the jibe is not simply finished there, I'm sure you know this!
All the great Shakespearean actors and directors agree that Shakespeare wrote in this style for pneumonic purposes, with the dual purpose of HELPING the actor uncover, dust of, and polish the inner workings of each character. John Gielgud, Laurence Olivier, Ben Kingsley, Alan Howard, Henry Ainsley, Jon Barton, Maggie Smith, Kenneth Branagh, Dame Judi Dench, are just a fraction of the well known Shakespearean actors who believe this. Trippingly on the tongue is ultimate goal.
I might make a video to better explain what I mean, if you'd like that, I'm happy to do this!
Ian McGarrett The meaning can be extracted through this "formulaic approach". Just as one math formula can solve billions of equations, so one acting technique can solve the many problems actors face on a daily basis.

What would you cite as a well delivered piece of heightened verse? Or as a good interpretation of a passage from Shakespeare?. There is a lot of material out on CZcams to choose from.
bruh
Master my, Yoda, can better be than he.
exagerated. A little more reflextion would be better
I agree completely.

overacting that man
I HATE SCARY MAN🫣🫣
Yet another blathering of Shakespeare’s words. Awful. The actor unable to fresh mint it as though he is speaking the lines for the very first time and having the thoughts for the very first time. If you want to see this speech done to the level it deserves, go to John Barton’s playing shakespeare series and watch Richard pasco knock it out of the park and sound like he is speaking the words for the very first time and thinking the thoughts for the very first time (even though Richard pasco performed the role 100’s of times before on stage). This is another pitiful rendition that reeks of repetition and gives people a good excuse to stay at home and watch a good movie rather than go to the theatre.
wow: I'm actually disappointed, that was really bad acting
Jeeze. Overacting or what.
