Patrick Stewart discusses playing Enobarbus, 1973 vs 1978

This is a chunk of archival gold from British television, circa 1979. As part of an "in-studio master class" on speaking Shakespeare, Patrick Stewart and Trevor Nunn talk about how the same role (Enobarbus in Antony & Cleopatra) was interpreted differently by Mr Stewart five years after his first crack at it.

Lovely! A national treasure. He'll always be Lucius Sejanus to me. Young Star Trek fans mustn't worry overmuch -- we all looked rather odd in those days. Nice to be reminded of Trevor Nunn's BBC days too.

@drbrontosaurus yeah if inverse tachyon pulses in only three time periods make so much hair doing it in ten would make you look like an orangutan

"Well, he just kept taalking, in one unbroken sentence, moving from topic to topic...."
