You are a saucy boy
Sep. 17th, 2004 12:55 pmNow watching the BBC Shakespeare Romeo and Juliet (1978), with an i n s a n e l y young Rickman as Tybalt. His features look too big for his head. Lots of actors from Doctor Who, notably Jacqueline Hill (smashing!) as Lady Capulet. David Sibley (Pralix from The Pirate Planet and the reporter from B7's Deathwatch) bites his thumb.
ETA: Interesting to contrast the actors who make Shakespeare comprehensible and even interesting, and those who simply shoot out the words like machine gun bullets, sadly including Patrick Ryecart (Mindwarp) as Romeo. Also, Tybalt has a flowerpot for a hat.
ETA: Nursy from Blackadder II is based on Juliet's nurse!
