Shakespeare's "Macbeth" (Ian McKellen) "Tomorrow and Tomo...
Ian McKellen "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow " from the 1979 TV version of the Trevor Nunn production by the Royal Shakespeare Company G. Fletcher ("Studies of Shakespeare", 1847): There is no want of physical courage implied in Macbeth's declining the combat with Macduff. He may well believe that now, more than ever, it is time to 'beware Macduff'. He is at length convinced that 'fate and metaphysical aid' are against him; and, consistent to the last in his hardened and whining selfishness, no thought of the intense blackness of his own perfidy interferes to prevent him from complaining of falsehood in those evil beings from whose very nature he should have expected nothing else. There is no cowardice, we say, in his declining the combat under such a conviction. Neither is there any courage in his renewing it; for there is no room for courage in opposing evident fate. Bu the last word and action of Macbeth are an expression of the moral cowardice which we trace so conspicuously throughout his career; he surrenders his life that he may not be 'baited with the rabble's curse'.

Shakespeare: "Macbeth" (Judi Dench) - sleepwalking scene
Judi Dench ... Lady Macbeth Denyse Alexander ... Gentlewoman John Woodnutt ... Doctor from the 1979 TV version of the Trevor Nunn production by the Royal Shakespeare Company from "Shakespeare's Work" (1847) by Gulian Crommelin Verplanck: It was, I believe, Madame de Staël, who said, somewhat extravagantly, that the smell is the most poetical of the senses. It is true that the more agreeable associations of this sense are fertile in pleasing suggestions of placid, rural beauty, and gentle pleasures. Shakespeare, Spencer, Ariosto, and Tasso abound in such allusions. Milton, especially, who luxuriates in every variety of "odorous sweets" and "grateful smells", delighted sometimes to dwell on the "sweets of groves and fields", the native perfumes of his own England--"The smell of grain, or tedded grass, or kine, Or Dairy"-- and sometimes pleasing his imagination with the "gentle gales" laden with "balmy spoils" of the East; and breathing--"Sabean odours from the spicy shores of Araby the blest". But the smell has never been successfully used as a means of impressing the imagination with terror, pity, or any of the deeper emotions, except in this dreadful sleep-walking scene of the gulty Queen, and in one parallel scene of the Greek drama, as wildly terrible as this. It is that passage of the 'Agamemnon' of Aeschylus, where the captive prophetess, Cassandra, wrapt in visionary inspiration, scents first the smell of blood, and then the vapours of the tomb breathing from the ...

Shakespeare's "Macbeth" (Nicol Williamson): start of play
first three scenes: witches, King Duncan's camp, then Macbeth meets with the witches. The witches are filmed with the Callanish Standing Stones, in the Western Isles, as the background. Brenda Bruce ... First Witch Eileen Way ... Second Witch Anne Dyson ... Third Witch Mark Dignam ... Duncan James Hazeldine ... Malcolm Christopher Ellison ... Captain John Rowe ... Lennox Gawn Grainger ... Ross Nicol Williamson ... Macbeth Ian Hogg ... Banquo David Lyon ... Angus (filmed 1983 for TV) W. Leighton writes (from "Robinson's Epitome of Literature", 15, April, 1879--via Variorum Shakespeare): It has been often remarked how wholly his own are Shakespeare's witches. comparing them with Middleton's, which are able creations, we comprehend more fully the majesty and weirdness that belong to the tempters of Macbeth. May it not be that the dignity and peculiar interest that clothes them is greatly due to the fact that they are, indeed, the outcries of sinful desires in the human heart, and that intuitively we feel something of this, however little we analyze the poet's art?

Shakespeare and Company - Iconic Bookshop in Paris
With a cameo appearance in Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris and Richard Linklater's Before Sunset, Shakespeare and Company is arguably the most iconic bookshop in the French capital. The building, a 17th century ex-monastery has become a landmark in the 5th arrondissement. Apart from being a bookstore, it also serves as a haven where aspiring writers can stay for free - Allen Ginsberg and Anaïs Nin have both been guests in the past. Originally established in 1919 by an American called Sylvia Beach, fellow expatriate George Whitman took over Shakespeare and Company after Beach's death in 1951.

Are Shakespeare's Plays Encoded within Pi?
A follow-up, with examples of numbers that are infinite and non-repeating but don't contain all combinations of digits: youtu.be Happy Pi Day! Also see: Pi is (still) Wrong: youtu.be Pi in Binary Hand Dance: youtu.be Special thanks to Toby (or not Toby) for playing Dog Hamlet. This cool website lets you search the first 200000000 digits of Pi. See if your phone number or encoded name is in there! www.angio.net Seven Sonnets: Are Shakespeare's plays encoded within Pi? The truth is: we don't know, but we suspect They're somewhere in those digits. And now I Will show why we don't know if we're correct. You see, we think the digits do behave As if they were a random sequence, and So many mathematicians tried to brave This question, but we still don't understand. Pi isn't random: each digit must be Exactly what the definition states. It's pseudo-random, far as we can see, But it's the subject of intense debates. Now I'll explain, with this parameter: It's all in iambic pentameter. You may have heard of this scenario: A thousand monkeys type at keyboards 'till They write the works of Shakespeare. Even though, In one life it's a task they can't fulfill. If you allow their kids to carry on, All through the generations working hard, They will evolve before they come upon A single sonnet written by the Bard. But still, the theory's sound! And it is true That with a random and infinite set Of letters, that eventu-ally you Will find whatever words you want to get. However, on this ...

Shakespeare "King Lear"- (1997 TV-Ian Holm), Act 1, scene 1
from end of Regan's speech of love to her father to Lear's exit at end of scene. here is one link for all the excerpts uploaded of the Holm "Lear": www.youtube.com Ian Holm ... Lear Barbara Flynn ... Goneril Amanda Redman ... Regan Victoria Hamilton ... Cordelia David Burke ... Kent Timothy West ... Gloucester Adrian Irvine ... France Nicholas R. Bailey ... Burgundy Holm has been acting professionally since joining the Royal Shakespeare Company as a spear-carrier in 1954. He was a young 66 when he filmed this "Lear". from an interview: Was Lear a difficult role for you? Difficult physically, because you expend an enormous amount of energy. But mentally, it is not a difficult journey compared, say, to Antony in Antony and Cleopatra. The verse structure helps you enormously. You get carried along by it. Back to the beginning of the play: What is Lear's motivation for the who-loves-me-most contest? Is he being serious? Is he capricious? He's all of those things. You're quite right to take the beginning of the play, because the first scene is unquestionably pivotal in the action. As Gloucester says, "All this done upon the gad," which means in the instant. You start out with a nice family meeting. He's removing his crown, he's going to divide the kingdom among his daughters, and they're going to play the game. Goneril and Regan saying, "Oh God, here we go again. Yes, we love you, we love you, we love you." Then this silly little shit Cordelia -- forgive me -- says, "No ...
