Julius Caesar: Behind the Scenes | Shakespeares Globe | Rent or Buy on Globe Player @ShakespearesGlobe

Shakespeares Globe globeplayer.tv/videos/julius-caesar-english

We take you behind the scenes of Julius Caesar. Artistic Director Dominic Dromgoole and actors from the production talk about the themes of the play and the experience of filming live theatre.

Opposing dictatorship and republicanism, private virtue and mob violence, Shakespeare’s tense drama of high politics reveals the emotional currents that flow between men in power.

When Caesar returns to Rome from the wars a virtual dictator, Brutus and his republican friends resolve that his ambition must be curbed – which in Rome can mean only one thing: the great general must be assassinated. But once the deed is done, the idealistic conspirators must reckon with the forces of a new power bloc, led by Mark Antony and Caesar’s nephew Octavius. When their armies close at Philippi, will Caesar’s ghost be avenged?

TRANSCRIPT

00:00 I dream'd there was an Emperor Antony:
O, such another sleep, that I might see
But such another man!
His face was as the heavens; and therein stuck
A sun and moon, which kept their course, and lighted
The little O, the earth.
His legs bestrid the ocean: his rear'd arm
Crested the world: his voice was propertied
As all the tuned spheres, and that to friends;
But when he meant to quail and shake the orb,
He was as rattling thunder. His delights
Were dolphin-like; they show'd his back above
The element they lived in: in his livery
Walk'd crowns and crownets; realms and islands were
As plates dropp'd from his pocket.
Think you there was, or might be, such a man
As this I dream'd of?

Who is who in Antony & Cleopatra? (2024) | Learn Character BSL Sign Names | Shakespeares Globe

Shakespeares Globe 2024-08-13 | The Company of Antony & Cleopatra (2024) introduce their characters, and those characters’ Sign Names, in British Sign Language (BSL).

Antony & Cleopatra is a bilingual production using BSL and Spoken English, with some scenes performed only in BSL, some only in Spoken English, and some using both languages. All performances are captioned

What is a Sign Name in British Sign Language (BSL) ?

As according to RNID:
"When you introduce yourself for the first time BSL, one will fingerspell your name, and after that you can use your sign name. It’s quicker to communicate a sign name than fingerspell someone’s full name."

A member of the Deaf Community must be the one to provide you with a sign name.

A sign name can be descriptive, or initialised.

So... can you guess how each character in Antony & Cleopatra got their sign name?

00:00 Mark Antony
00:08 Cleopatra
00:17 Octavius Caesar
00:25 Soothsayer
00:35 Diomedes
00:42 Clown
00:47 Domitius Enobarbus
00:58 Iras
01:02 Octavia

TRANSCRIPT

RICHARD III:
00:00 Now is the winter of our discontent
Made glorious summer by this son of York,
And all the clouds that loured upon our house
In the deep bosom of the ocean buried.
Now are our brows bound with victorious wreaths,
Our bruisèd arms hung up for monuments,
Our stern alarums changed to merry meetings,
Our dreadful marches to delightful measures.
Once more we sit in England’s royal throne.
Re-purchased with the blood of enemies.

00:43 How sweet a thing it is to wear a crown.
Grim-visaged war hath smoothed his wrinkled front;
He capers nimbly in a lady’s chamber
To the lascivious pleasing of a lute.
He loves the breeder better than the male.

01:03 But I, that am not shaped for sportive tricks,
Nor made to court an amorous looking glass,
I, that am curtailed of this fair proportion,
Why, I, in this weak piping time of peace,
Have no delight to pass away the time,
Unless to see my shadow in the sun,
And this word “love”, which graybeards call divine,
Be resident in men like one another
And not in me: I am myself alone.
And therefore, since I cannot prove a lover
01:50 I am determinèd to prove a villain.

01:55 And yet I know not how to get the crown,
For many lives stand between me and home:
And I – like one lost in a thorny wood,
Seeking a way and straying from the way;
Not knowing how to find the open air,
But toiling desperately to find it out,
Torment myself to catch the English crown:
And from that torment I will free myself,
Or hew my way out with a bloody axe.

02:27 Why, I can smile, and murder whiles I smile,
And wet my cheeks with artificial tears,
And frame my face to all occasions.
02:47 I can add colours to the chameleon,
Change shapes with Proteus for advantages,
And set the murderous Machiavel to school.
Can I do this, and cannot get a crown?
Tut, were it farther off, I’ll pluck it down.

Transcript:
00:00 I do much wonder that one man, seeing how much
another man is a fool when he dedicates his behaviors
to love, will, after he hath laughed at such
shallow follies in others, become the argument of
his own scorn by falling in love—and such a man is
Claudio. 00:27 I have known when there was no music
with him but the drum and the fife, and now had he
rather hear the tabor and the pipe; 00:38 I have known
when he would have walked ten mile afoot to see a
good armor, and now will he lie ten nights awake
carving the fashion of a new doublet. He was wont
to speak plain and to the purpose, like an honest
man and a soldier, and now is he turned orthography;
his words are a very fantastical banquet, just so
many strange dishes. 01:10 May I be so converted and see
with these eyes? I cannot tell; I think not. I will not
be sworn but love may transform me to an oyster,
but I’ll take my oath on it, 01:35 till he have made an
oyster of me, he shall never make me such a fool.
One woman is fair, yet I am well; another is wise, yet
I am well; another virtuous, yet I am well; but till all
graces be in one woman, one woman shall not
come in my grace. 02:02 Rich she shall be, that’s certain;
wise, or I’ll none; virtuous, or I’ll never cheapen
her; fair, or I’ll never look on her; mild, or come not
near me; noble, or not I for an angel; of good
discourse, an excellent musician, and her hair shall
be of what color it please God. 02:25 Ha! The Prince and
Monsieur Love! I will hide me in the arbor.

TRANSCRIPT

00:00 More than I have said, loving countrymen,
The leisure and enforcement of the time
Forbids to dwell upon. Yet remember this:
God, and our good cause, fights upon our side.
00:14 Richard except, those whom we fight against
Had rather have us win than him they follow.
For what is he they follow? Truly, friends,
A bloody tyrant and a homicide;
00:26 If you do sweat to put a tyrant down,
You sleep in peace, the tyrant being slain.
If you do fight against your country’s foes,
Your country’s fat shall pay your pains the hire.
00:40 If you do free your children from the sword,
Your children’s children quits it in your age.
For me, the ransom of my bold attempt
Shall be this cold corpse on the Earth’s cold face,
But if I thrive, the gain of my attempt
The least of you shall share their part thereof.
1:02 Sound drums and trumpets boldly and cheerfully.
Onwards for hope, freedom, and victory!
