Dr Hal recites Paradise Lost (pt1)

[rodanosamehr]

A horrible performance. This is how NOT to recite a long poem, affected voice, absolutely no body involvement whatsoever, I'm being harsh I know but if I didn't have such standards I'd be this bad and out of work as a performer

[Lavxtee]

I had no idea what this guy dr. hal was about.

wow.  humbling. he's riveting.

"Aunt Bertha.... Iyam scayerrrdd!!"

[weepingforbrunnhilde]

Amazing.

I'm currently struggling to memorize Eliot's "Ash Wednesday," which is hard enough.

Hats off, Dr. Hal.

Milton would be pleased.

[aglassyday]

I am completely in awe.

I have spent months practicing recitations from the first two chapters. Dr Hal clearly has a grasp of this difficult and complex oratory. John Milton, half blind, sat down with the intention of producing the greatest epic poem ever spoken in the English Tongue.

[oNympho]

He succeeded.

It's a pity that art like this has died in the wake of what is shinier.

How come I missed this event? Where and when was it filmed?
