#king lear

[grendelsmilf]

was talking about king lear with my dad (as one does) and talking about how albany is so uniquely inscrutable and i was like “you know i do love a gay misogynist whose violence against his wife is so blatantly unforgivable and yet nonetheless displays a genuine insight into the logic and mechanics underpinning his world, and how the attempt of an audience to morally reconcile that violence with the thematic value they provide to the text reflecting their own attempt to reconcile their internal alienation” and then i had to catch myself at the very last moment because i nearly called him saionji

David Tennant in Shakespeare plays

[As you like it , love's labor lost, Richard II, Hamlet, The Comedy of errors, King Lear, Romeo and Juliet, much Ado about nothing, Macbeth]

P.s. he had also been in Edward III as Edward the black prince and the midsummer night's dream as Lysander/flute but I couldn't find any pictures from those plays.

The hot new thing on Tumblr was the 2008 Royal Shakespeare Company production of King Lear with Ian McKellen, so every meme and reaction image was just screencaps from King Lear.

I just think it’s funny that people who unwilling to do research into the people they’re trying to kill also can’t do research into what they think are great scathing treatises.

LEAR

Illustration for one of my favourite theatre plays ever, Lear in the unique interpretation of mr. Andrzej Seweryn.

I had a wonderful chance to visit his theatre this weekend thanks to two absolutely wonderful artists, Alicjaska and justmoondust. Thank you so much again <3

Female rage in shakespeare like 'i would eat his heart in the market place' 'take my defiance! Die, perish' 'yet have we some revenge' 'in rage, Juno-like' 'i will to him and pluck out his eyes' 'let him that makes but trifles of his eyes first hand me' 'Princes and Counties!' not to mention Lady M, Regan, Margaret of Anjou in Richard iii. So much popular media today still can't even pass the bechdel test when shakespeare literally got it four entire centuries ago
