[IrishEyes1989]

Zoe Wanamaker mesmerizes me <3

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.

[belisariusorb]

"If ever he have wife..." oh the irony

[RatStravaganza]

Fantastic. truly inspiring piece of drama from an unbelievable play.

[JamesMorphettTV]

does anyone know where I can see the full play of Richard III on UTube? Just seems like bits and pieces are up on Utube only.

[Flohaug81]

OMG is that Zoe Wanamaker

[NielasHellsing]

"And thou unfit for any place but hell"

That's some real girlpower right there.

[sstuddert]

@NielasHellsing

Then she gets seduced by him.

That's some real girlpower there.

[TheyGotMeatballs]

[fangbanger31]

@TheyGotMeatballs me too!!!

[ariadneugene]

ha ha he exagerates the walking too much

[devmonbar]

Do you have the entire play, I cannot find it anywhere and I want to see Richard III in it's full lenght.

[heliotropezzz333]

I saw this production in the Everyman Theatre in Liverpool in the 1970s. It was very good.

[swannavon]

I agree with the other comments here. I love this production of Richard IIi! Not well known compared to Olivier's & the Ian McKellan version, but so true and good. Ron Cook gives us a great Richard without showing off as an actor.

[thallassocracy]

Olivier had to write Queen Margaret (the' tiger's heart wrapped in a woman's hide') out of the play entirely - in case any actress who took the role upstaged him.

Ron Cook can leave room for stupendous performances by Zoe Wannamaker. Julia Foster, and Annette Crosbie - but still dominate the play.

This has to be one of the best Shakespeare plays on film ever.

[piscean60]

the line is sarcastic- he's refering to everyone elses happiness re: the Duke of York- things were bad before now they're better, "made glorious summer"

check wikipedia for dates, etc

[hotlovehotlovehotlov]

"Now is the winter of our discontent" what is the meaning of this sentence? what could it refer to ?

[animefantasy94]

war of the roses had finally ended

richard's family, the yorks, won

and the lancasters lost

winter is referring to the lancaster's reign

[xDtheendOo]

yes, one place if you would hear me name it

some dungeon.

your bed chamber.

:O gasp

somebody's a little pushy....

[fuliguline]

Man... Ron Cook is so superior to Olivier in this role, especially in this scene! (Not to mention Zoe Wanamaker to whoever that was playing Lady Anne). Olivier was just... too creepy, not plausible as a deceiver at all. This is amazing.

[artsy330]

I agree totally! This version is wonderful...Cook is so eerily seductive where as Oliver was just creepy, but not in a good way. This is the first time I have seen this scene preformed believably. Made my day!

[rosexraawr]

Haha I love this. We watched it in our AS History; Tudors And The Crusades lesson. :') I love it how he actually died 12 years before this happened, yet there he is... bleeding, in the middle of those two. Richard being a little bit of an inconsiderate div and trying to get her to fall for him... OVER HER DEAD HUSBAND'S BODY... literally! |:

Aha.

[hempenasphalt]

Actually in this version, as per the original Shakespeare, it is Henry VI her father-in-law's corpse. Olivier's version makes it her husband Edward.

[dave98503]

I want to thank George Bush for bringing me to read Shakespeares. He himself has read three books about Shakespears. I am proud of my President. I would cut both my nuts off if I could just have that opportunity to meet him in person and shake his heroic hands.

[JackGraham999]

Zoe Wanamaker does wonders with a tricky role.  She's miraculous... apart from being quite probably the most beautiful woman who has ever lived.

[n0iwont]

@JackGraham999 ...o for goodness sake ZW is not beautiful - she has an ODD face indeed.

[IrishEyes1989]

@n0iwont @n0iwont Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I for one think Zoe certainly is beautiful. Just because she doesn't look like a supermodel doesn't mean she isn't beautiful. The standards for beauty in modern society are shallow and unrealistic. Zoe has lovely features - gorgeous bone structure, an adorably upturned nose, and beautiful, expressive eyes.

[n0iwont]

@IrishEyes1989... No, beauty is not in the eye of the beholder. The measure of beauty is the same now as it always was and the measure doesn't/won't change. She is not beautiful. Some people may find her face appealing, but that does not mean that she can be termed beautiful. ( Poor ZW ) I'm truly not trying to goad or be horrible. And as for someone stating that she's the most beautiful woman who has ever lived - well.......lol

[n0iwont]

@n0iwont - only my opinion anyway.

[xlulumerylstreepfanx]

zoe wanamaker is amazing in this <3<3

[blacklightfreakout]

The scene is a little odd with her ranting and raving, but him being too calm or too passive. Lady Anne seems to run the show, and it is suppose to be the other way around.

[blacklightfreakout]

Lady Anne comes out a little too strong. Richard is suppose to have more power than she. She is suppose to be in the gray area of being upset, but yet lady-like out of fear of what Richard can do to her, too.

[raymonda200]

See Claire Bloom's interpretation in Olivier's Richard for this interpetation.

[con101193]

[Britishsuperstar]

omg Zoe wannamaker looks young!!

i actually like this play although i wouldnt admit it at school lmao!!

[itsyamomontoast]

It was amazing and thanks for putting it on youtube 4 all to watch

[Perculsor]

I think the performances is an interesting reversal. Ron Cook plays a deceptively gentle, even vulnerable, Richard. On the surface Zoe Wanamaker seems more than able for him. I wonder how they manage the transition.

[Dalaruan]

Ah...Ron Cook as Richard III. Love it!!!

[Tanych]

Great! One of my favourite scenes of the play. Thanks for sharing.
