The Escapist

londoncallingsigh:

Hamlet sketch at Shakespeare Live! From the RSC on BBC Two

benedict-the-cumbercookie:

All the world’s a stage,

And all the men and women merely players;

They have their exits and their entrances,

And one man in his time plays many parts,

His acts being seven ages. At first, the infant,

Mewling and puking in the nurse’s arms.

Then the whining schoolboy, with his satchel

And shining morning face, creeping like snail

Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,

Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad

Made to his mistress’ eyebrow. Then a soldier,

Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard,

Jealous in honor, sudden and quick in quarrel,

Seeking the bubble reputation

Even in the cannon’s mouth. And then the justice,

In fair round belly with good capon lined,

With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,

Full of wise saws and modern instances;

And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts

Into the lean and slippered pantaloon,

With spectacles on nose and pouch on side;

His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide

For his shrunk shank, and his big manly voice,

Turning again toward childish treble, pipes

And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,

That ends this strange eventful history,

Is second childishness and mere oblivion,

Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.

“First look: Martin Freeman in The Eichmann Show”

“We’re used to seeing him as a diminutive hairy Hobbit or even perhaps Sherlock’s more socially able sidekick, but in his new role, Martin Freeman’s going head to head with one of history’s greatest monsters.

Next Tuesday sees Freeman appearing in The Eichmann Show, BBC Two’s 90 minute film about the televising of the trial of Adolf Eichmann - one of the key architects of the Holocaust.”

After Sherlock and Mycroft’s game of Operation in The Empty Hearse, it has been suggested that the BBC should market a special Sherlock edition of the game. So I put my thinking scrubs on and produced my own design for this surgical sensation. Scalpels at the ready, folks, because the game is definitely on…
