- From the BBC4 broadcast, aired 7 September 2003. John of Gaunt (John McEnery) and Edmund of York (the late Bill Stewart) bewail the state of England under Richard II. It's sort of an Elizabethan Grumpy Old Men.

One of the most underrated monologues, from one of the most underrated plays.
Fun fact: The two brothers on that stage: John of Gaunt and Edmund of York are the patriarchs of the Houses of Lancaster and York respectively (since John of Gaunt's title was the Duke of Lancaster). 50 years later their descendants would fight the Wars of the Roses.
gracias por subir este material!!
As one who's first love is the motion picture, most of the Shakespeare I have seen has been on screen. You can imagine my surprise when I read Shakespeare myself and suddenly discovered parts that Larry Olivier did not deliver in Henry V! This speech by John of Gaunt from Richard II has also been cut; but in my view they should have cut the passage from 'This nurse' to 'reputation through the world' as the great patriotic bit is too long, and the second part may be lost on a modern audience.
I have decided I shall go there in the spring, FFS it's only a couple of hours away by bus
You must go. With your wonderful use of the English language, it will be a match made in Heaven!
@@danielcostello1947 why thank you (I think) dear sir lol
Cuts are an accepted part of any production; the uncut performance is unknown. Usually, it's decided in rehearsal and influences the play's message.
Cuts are ok. But they're often used to make the play an acceptable length. If actors didn't think their pauses were so important, or that we need to speak slowly for intelligibilty (omg so wrong!) no WS play would exceed 3 hours.
at 2:00 he seems to have missed out two verses, "small showers last long, but sudden storms are short: | he tires betimes that spurs too fast betimes ". in my Wordsworth Classics copy they go after "... violent fires soon burn out themselves...", vv. 35-36.
there's a bit missing! how come?
God Save The King!
Curious performance. Gaunt on his death bed strides the stage only so he can deliver the famous oratory to the whole audience. But if the speech warrants that why the pointless cuts? And the performance is melancholy. One would never know that he is fighting for the soul of England. Far be it from one about to attempt Gaunt for a much more modest undertaking but I think this production is missing the mark. This is not supposed to be grumpy old men, it is supposed to be rage, rage against the dying of the light!
Does John McEnery lose sleep over ruining the role of Mercutio for me? He totally should.
You're a fuckhead with no taste I spit on you pppa
RUINING it? Are you fucking mad?
