  • thx for vid, helpful for my theater class

  • where is scene 2 of this act

  • I am playing Benedict for the Utah Shakespeare Festival this year so this video really helped me with my lines :{D thanks

  • aghh i really need a few lines before!!

  • In this scene that man is funny and i hate those other man

  • 4:58

  • haha benedick is cute without the beard, I love this production.

  • I cannot tell how much I love this scene: When Benedict decides to have a duel with his friend Claudio to win the love of his Beatrice; who wishes to be a man to avenge her kinswoman; also Shakespeare of course lacks any real tragic ability: His feuds and fights are those of men and women being indifferent to life and sharing a contemplative melancholy; compare this with the Greek tragedies about Oedipus by Sophocles or Agamemnon by Aeschylus for example.

  • Comment removed

  • I'm Playing Beatrice In my schools production of this play. This vid Really helped me with my lines!!! :D I wish people talked like that today

  • @xirawrryoux Hey fuck you.

  • Please post all the vids for this version it is so well done!

  • lol this video is going to help me memorize my lines

  • wow. i like this version.

  • im doin this for a drama assesment at school from the lady beatrice have u wept all this while and i must say it is brilliant

  • I prefer this version over Branagh's simply because I find Robert Lindsay more dramatic and intense,Branagh plays Benedick very lightly.Perhaps an unmarried couple in real life can play the roles with less certainty.Only my opinion and I love Branagh's vision with Shakespeare I just prefer Lindsay's acting.

  • I love how Benedick actually has his beard shaved in this version!

  • @nclysander I know, I was thinking that too!

  • "I love you with so much of my heart that none is left to protest."

    God. Why don't we speak like this anymore?

  • This was so helpful, i'm playing Margaret in my school's production of Much Ado.

  • Lunghi is brilliant in this scene -- cold and unrelenting to Benedick as she has been all along, but with a heartbreaking vulnerability. She is convincing both when confessing her love for Benedick and in demanding Claudio's death. Much as I love Emma Thompson, I feel her Beatrice shows too much warmth in this same scene.

  • fuck SATS suck

  • SATS This Week Thiss Is Goin To Help Me Loads!

  • thx man this will help with my SATs

  • I really dont like the directing on this one [4:01 onwards], Robert Lindsay and Cherie Lunghi are awesome actors, but it just seemed a bit wooden? I mean, this scene is one of the most dramatic in the play, with so many mood changes, but none of them were shown in this version. Branagh's version is MUCH better. Its also funny to see Emma Thompson's face turn about 90 shades of purple ^-^ x

  • I don't think it's wooden at all. It's just very, very, oh, so very, English. To keep the your feelings in check, especially body language, is appropriate to the time period this play was written in and for. I like seeing the struggle of Benedick trying to be in control of his feelings and through his acting, you see he is only holding onto it by a thread, which also creates a contrast for Beatrice who lets all her feelings out. It gives an extra intensity to the scene.

  • what uprich said

  • Holy crap! The acting in this scene is so fabulous! I believe the actors and Robert Lindsay was never so hot, to me, as he is in this scene!

  • i think the acting in this scene is terrible.

    its so boring and monotone.

    Its a caase of shakepspear gone bad.

    . its just ah sooo boring

  • yeah man.

  • thank you this is going to help me with my english SAT soo much

  • I can't believe how much better the Kenneth Branagh version is.
