Charlie Cox as Jerry in Betrayal >>>>

I think if every Charlie fan saw him deliver the monologue at the end of this specific scene in such a raw, poignant way they would've bawled over. A gorgeous scene fantastically delivered by Charlie. Still living in my mind rent-free after almost 4 years:

#charlie cox #betrayal #harold pinter theatre #missing the betrayal era 💔 #i wish every charlie fan got to see this play his performance here was legitimately phenomenal #if you thought he was great in daredevil he was amazing in this #it's what made me obsessed with charlie as an actor #he is a 'revelation' just like what the NYT review of this play said #theater charlie is something else 🥹

Hi, guys. 😊💕

So someone asked me for the recording I have of Betrayal, and since I have it uploaded now I thought I’d share it here in case anyone else wants it, too. 

(Be forewarned that, as it was recorded by an audience member, the sound isn't always the clearest but you can still hear most it.)

Swan Lake Tragedy Aesthetic

My interpretation of different versions of Swan Lake:

Royal Ballet: classical core + contemporary touches, tragedy, expressive, power in play in addition to the traditional romance, Odette is fragile but with strong dignity, freedom in death

American Ballet Theatre: Classical core, more dramatic, more fairy tale like, very passionate Odette, freedom or death, all consuming love, love defeats evil even in death. Very heroic, very American.

Mariinski: Classical to the core… least expressive even in Russian standards. Impeccable technique. Almost no storytelling, only choreography. But impeccable technique. Happy ending, of course…

Bolshoi: Impeccable technique, somewhat more expressive than Marrinski. Tragic and depressive ending… Odette condemned in a body of a swan for all eternity.

Paris Opera Ballet: My personal least fav, the technique… ok maybe I’m just not into French ballet. But the PORT DE BRAS is just unbearable to me. Why do the sorcerer and the Prince have more chemistry??!!

i love you shirt in your selfie where did you get it?

Tysm anon! It's my favorite shirt EVER. It's also got the rest of the Defenders on it! I even wore my first one to Betrayal (the Broadway play Charlie was in) and to a special Marvel museum exhibit where I got to see the actual DD suit from the show!

I bought my original one years ago at Hot Topic when it came out in, iirc 2017. Sadly I lost that shirt to fiberglass this year and thought I was out of luck (though the shirt's at least framed). BUT I found Shirt 2.0 after searching Ebay and Mercari! It's a Men's shirt so keep that in mind for sizing, but for me it was an upside - the fabric is sturdy, and it never faded in all the years I had it despite all the washing and tons and tons of wear over the course of 5 years.

#aak response #i love that shirt it's my favorite #i have worn it to hell and back #i have worn it through the grief of DD's cancellation #and for marvel events and to betrayal #and to SPIDERMAN IN THEATRES WHERE OUR BELOVED WAS RETURNED TO US #and fiberglass killed it this year but otherwise that shirt had another ten years AT LEAST in lifespan #but there are definitely a few on ebay and mercari!

Queen Mother: Henry! I bore the weight of state affairs longer than you ever have. I have been your queen and I am your mother. You are answerable for the interests of a great Kingdom, not for your moods. You already gave far too much away to the King of France, at La Ferté Bernard. It is England you must think of, not your hatred - or disappointed love - for that man.

King: [in a fury] Disappointed love - disappointed love? What gives you the right, Madam, to meddle in my loves and hates?

Queen Mother: You have a rancour against the man which is neither healthy or manly. The King your father dealt with his enemies faster and more summarily than that. He had them killed and said no more about it. If Thomas Becket were a faithless woman whom you still hankered after, you would act no differently. Sweet Jesu, tear him out of your heart once and for all!

Jean Anouilh, Becket (tr. Lucienne Hill, 1960)

#100plays #becket #jean anouilh #lucienne hill #theatre quotes #modern drama #theatre #french theatre #having already rambled a little in other tags about the various historical inaccuracies in this play it would be remiss of me not to #mention that the antagonistic relationship as depicted between Henry and his mother‚ Empress Matilda‚ has no basis in #historical fact as we understand it. on the contrary‚ she was a close advisor to her son and attempted to mediate during the Becket crisis #(she also predeceased Becket by three years). she serves a crucial purpose in the play however‚ as perhaps the only foil to the king #willing to comment directly on his relationship with Becket and the debilitating effect of their estrangement #this is also one of the most direct allusions in the play to a potential homoromantic element to their relationship #perhaps unsurprisingly‚ the play has attracted queer readings and analysis fairly regularly since its publication #the 1964 film adaptation is often credited with this subtext but quite honestly it's all there in the original text #to Anouilh's Henry‚ the ideological conflict with Becket is entirely secondary to the personal betrayal of a love spurned #whether that love is inferred to be romantic or brotherly or chivalrous is dependent on the reader (or viewer) #regardless of its exact nature‚ it's a love that Henry is willing to sacrifice a great deal for: politically‚ personally‚ perhaps even #spiritually. #the part of Matilda may be relatively small but its importance to the plot‚ and the power of her lines‚ were reflected in the casting of #legendary stage actor Gwen Ffrangcon Davies in the first english production

Charlie in this has me feeling a bit...🥺

(And I sure hope Marvel’s not planning on putting poor Charlie in any ridiculous costumes.😅)

A royal descendant of the gods, Medea is a tragic, but also vilified figure from Greek legend. The lover of Jason, she was known for multiple murders – though some less popular versions of her legend do ascribe these killings to either Jason or accident. The worst, and most famous, of her crimes were recorded within Euripides’ play ‘Medea’ – the murder of her two children. The play was first performed in 431 BC.

“My life is over, dear friends. I’ve lost all joy. I want to die. The person who was everything to me, my own husband, has turned out to be the worst of men. This I know is true. Of all things with life and understanding, we women are the most unfortunate.”
