#Hotspur

[shakespearenews]

Henry Henry is a reworking of the Henriad, the set of Shakespearean history plays dealing with the fates and fortunes of the final Plantagenet King Richard II and the first Lancastrians Henry IV and Henry V. They are plays about family dysfunction and the relationship between the self and authority, between society and the individual, duty and care, responsibility and vice. Bratton fondly describes them as “the daddy issue plays.”

...Bratton also has this great read on Hal as a gay disaster: “It’s funny because Shakespeare’s Prince Hal is, I think, one of the progenitors of the modern Gay Disaster,” he said. “He drinks too much; he plays stupid, mean pranks; he’s torn between his daddy and his disappointed father. But Shakespeare’s Hal is generally seen as a lovable scamp whose redemption is inevitable. I found myself trying to play with the sympathies of my imaginary audience, taking Hal back and forth very rapidly between the roles of victim and perpetrator. It mirrors the way Hal uses the people around him to play with his own sense of self—he has this little dance he does that’s like, ‘Do you hate me now? How about now? How about now? Ahh, but don’t you love me really.’”

I was writing a note and instead of typing "Hotspur", I typed "Hot purr" which I think at least one of my mutuals would appreciate.

THE HOTSPUR #553 (D C Thompson, 1946)

Artist uncredited.

I'm loving the idea that a giant spiked snail appears to have interrupted a football match. What's that you say? They're just fresh air-loving hikers in shorts... Oh, well.

My Pinterest is choke-full of these Middle Ages idiots, and yeah, To Scold a King is definitely getting at least two prequels because we don’t choose the brain rot, the brain rot chooses us

hi everyone! friendly reminder that while it's not majorly implimented, hotspur IS in fact sentient in s3/s4! Definitely could have implimented it better. There are, however, some adorable clips of hotspur purring!

what a cutiepie.

Hotspur will always be a butch lesbian in my heart, but I gotta admit, the Stratford Festival’s choice to make him a cocaine glitter twink with a baseball bat in Richard II was INSPIRED.

WELL! I am officially a casualty of the 1403 Battle of Shrewsbury (620 years later)!

TW: Actual blood!

I’m currently playing Hotspur in Henry IV part 1 and tonight (opening night, by the way), when I fell to die, I caught my wrist on a sharp bit of the set. Upon inspection, it didn’t actually get me that badly, but because of all the adrenaline, I bleed fairly significantly in the moment.

I spent the rest of act 5 desperately trying not to get blood on mine or Falstaff’s costume while still appearing convincingly dead, an endeavor which was successful!

I clued Hal in before he helped me up for bows and was then taken off stage to wash off the blood and get a bandaid.

Overall, it was a very successful opening night (everyone KILLED it… and me). The Shrewsbury casualty crisis was averted and we all made it out not unscathed but unstained!
