Merci pour l'info ! Je trouve super sympa le fait qu'ils aient tourné les adaptations dans les lieux réels des intrigues.

C'est exactement ce que je me suis dit. Ca nous permettra de voyager un peu

Quel casting

Une seconde.

*part en courant*

HAYLEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYY

*revient*

Oui, effectivement, ça a l'air intéressant ^^.

Ca à l'air super.
Ce qui m'inquiète, c'est que c'est écrit que cela va être diffusé gratuitement à Londres sur des écrans géants et c'est tout. J'espère qu'ils vont le diffuser à plus large échelle !

Plein de noms (et pas des moindres) se sont ajoutés au casting :

Je ne sais pas si c'est utile pour l'instant d'ouvrir un sujet pour chacune des adaptations alors je poste cette photo ici :

James Norton dans le rôle de Richard II

Citation :

James Norton brings a moment from history to life as he performs a speech from Richard II — on the same spot where the real king was forced to abandon his crown.
The War And Peace star read from the Shakespeare play in Westminster Hall for a short film commissioned by the Globe theatre to mark the 400th anniversary of the playwright’s death.
His speech came from the deposition scene, in which the king recounts how he was forced to give up his throne by Henry Bolingbroke’s rebels.
Westminster Hall was built in 1097 by the son of William the Conqueror and extensively restored by Richard II. He was deposed there on September 30, 1399.

The Globe’s artistic director Dominic Dromgoole described Norton, 30, as “one of the most exciting young actors of his generation”.

He said: “His interpretation of Richard II is precise, delicate and humane, and to watch him perform that deposition speech in the cavernous Westminster Hall, the exact place where the real King Richard was forced to give up his crown over six hundred years ago, is hugely moving and evocative.”

The resulting film is part of a series called The Complete Walk, which captures scenes from every one of Shakespeare’s plays and also stars Gemma Arterton and Peter Capaldi.

It will be shown for free on 37 screens along the south bank on April 23 and 24.

Chouette !

De nouvelles photos de James Norton dans Richard II :

Magnifique !!!!!!

J'aime beaucoup la photo où il tend sa couronne et qui est un moment emblématique de Richard II
Dans The Hollow Crown, cette scène avec Ben Whishaw était superbe et très émouvante.

On en sait plus grâce à un article qui vient de paraître sur le site du Globe :

Over the spring weekend of 23 – 24 April 2016, the banks of the Thames will come alive with an extraordinary celebration as Shakespeare’s Globe invites the world to join The Complete Walk.

37 specially-made 10 minute films will be screened along the iconic 2.5 mile stretch between Westminster Bridge and Tower Bridge.

Each film explores one of Shakespeare’s plays and includes scenes shot in the locations Shakespeare imagined when he wrote them. Picture Cleopatra in front of the Pyramids, Shylock in Venice’s former Jewish Ghetto, Hamlet on the rocks of Elsinore and much more.

These scenes will be combined with extracts from the BFI’s iconic early silent films and our Globe On Screen filmed stage productions. Featuring a host of the world’s greatest actors, The Complete Walk is an accessible, interactive way to celebrate Shakespeare’s life, work and legacy, exactly 400 years on from his death.

The films will play continuously throughout the weekend enabling you to join us for the entire route or to dip in and out of your favourite plays as you stroll along the river.

C'est clair

Plusieurs personnes ont posé la question sur leur site, et ils ont répondu qu'il fallait surveiller les prochaines annonces. Ce n'est donc pas perdu

Ils ont bien de la chance les londoniens ^^

Et en plus, il fait beau !

Le site Official London Theatre a mis en ligne ce qui semble être la séquence entière de Richard II (5:39 c'est un peu court ceci dit) :



C'est toujours aussi captivant de le voir jouer
