Hm... people seem to say the fool is not fool enough! I don't understand, as Feste clearly states he is not a fool, but Countess Olivia's 'Corrupter of Words'. Personally I am astounded by the perfection, and thought Ben Kingsly put into this role. I think it suits perfectly, reading the play (albeit an abridged version for my grade eight play) I can't imagine him acting like a stand up comedian. In anycase, I love this Feste! I'm going to emulate him as much as possible as Feste in our play. :)
THIS IS MY CHARACTER!!! Well, actually, no. I am Feste's apprentice. A made up role for the play, but i still know all of the Feste scenes because i'm in them all. He is NOT foolish enough.
lollipopfop, no one likes live theatre for a reason? Um, just because you don't like something doesn't just rule out the rest of the world's opinions. Newsflash - other people exist. Obviously some people like live theatre, why else would it be so popular? Then again some people don't. Wow. Massive revelation.

That was awful clever. Thats the whole point. If you haven't noticed that live theater is dying, you are obviously far less aware of the world then me. I personally like anything that is well done. But I think its pretty well known very few theaters can live unless they serve food or have endowments. Broadway does OK, but not as well as before, and they are doing the same plays that were around when I was six(I am now 25). Next time learn to distinguish an observation from opinion.
Do you not think, lollipopfop, that perhaps people no longer go to the theatre not because they don't like it but because it's no longer an affordable past time? I personally would love to go to see a play in live theatre, but simply can't afford it, nevermind find the time for it. As for Broadway, they run the same plays they did almost 20 years ago because that's what brings in the money and that's what's made them successful.
Well, I have been involved with a community theater over the past couple of years and instead of dying we are growing and thriving. Just because Broadway has been preforming the same plays does not mean that theater is dying, it means that they haven't had enough unique ideas, and they have even been improving older plays by added new things to them.
Well - true that it's not as big as it used to be, but I think that live theater will never truly die. I mean, it's been around for thousands of years and it's lasted this long.
I love this scene. Feste, better than anyone else, cheers up the Lady Olivia with that single remark: "The more fool, Madonna, to mourn for your brother's soul being in heaven." He's very tender with her in this scene.
I also love Malvolio's expression when Feste says: "I think his soul is in hell." Priceless!
Thumbs up for everyone playing feste :)

I'm playing Feste, and he's just not foolish enough here. I'm playing it more like the MC from "Cabaret" played by Joel Grey

Kingsley's version of Feste is way too serious! Just not festive enough for the character.

I disagree. Kingsleys Fete is perfect. Diffrent from a silly stage production, which is why it works. No one likes live theater for a reason.
