If Season 1 is the viewer's whirlwind courtship -- and it was mine -- then Season 2 is when I asked it to marry me. Look for the moment I sank to my knee: It involves a discussion of how Macbeth must be played. An actor who openly disdains Geoffrey's interpretation is mocking him to another seasoned actor, who, in turn, softly asks, "What did he have in mind?" The other actor explains. Then the older actor, instead of disparaging the offbeat interpretation, says, in effect, "Now *that's* interesting."<BR/><BR/>In Season 3, the Lear season, I all but wept during the juxtaposition of the first musical rehearsal and the first read-through of Lear.<BR/><BR/>Remember, Lear is the storm.<BR/><BR/>It was a brilliant show, all the more brilliant for its three-season (three-act) arc, its unabashed scenes about "doing Shakespeare," and its fearless [*SPOILER ALERT*]...<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>evisceration of a character who seemed poised for redemption.<BR/><BR/>Happy watching.<BR/><BR/>MelissaMental multivitaminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03399560628858130962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7245036.post-54462501910997112522008-05-04T22:28:00.000-05:002008-05-04T22:28:00.000-05:00Duane I am definitely interested in the Shakespea...Duane I am definitely interested in the Shakespeare -- I loved hearing "Geoffrey" direct and talk about the play but I also got a huge kick out of all the characters. It is such a great ensemble cast.Camillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10422449200792287901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7245036.post-19239745545598656462008-05-04T19:42:00.000-05:002008-05-04T19:42:00.000-05:00Spectacular, wasn't it?

I have to say, I think that the first season was the best for me, but maybe that's because I dig Hamlet more than the others. It's also very important to decide whether it's the *Shakespeare* you're interested in, or the lives of the people playing the Shakespeare. For me it's all about the former, and whenever the characters were getting on with their lives I'm all "Ummm, get back to the Shakespeare, people." But the coworker who lent me the DVDs was the exact opposite, she enjoyed the soap opera aspects.<BR/><BR/>Duane<BR/>http://www.shakespearegeek.comDuane Morinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16569611828708601563noreply@blogger.com
