"Double, double toil and trouble; fire burn, and cauldron boil" - The Witches, Macbeth by William Shakespeare.

After completing their mock exams, our Year 11s were treated to a theatre performance of William Shakespeare's, Macbeth.

"I see Queen Mab hath been with you....
She gallops night by night
Through lovers' brains, and then they dream of love;
O'er courtiers' knees, that dream on court'sies straight,
O'er lawyers' fingers, who straight dream on fees."
- William Shakespeare, "Romeo and Juliet"
Warwick Goble

#Coriolanus

Fiennes in veste di regista prende l'omonima tragedia di #WilliamShakespeare e, mantenendone i dialoghi, trasporta tutto ai giorni nostri, ma la cosa funziona a tratti.
Grande prova di attore dello stesso #RalphFiennes e di #VanessaRedegrave, ma questo si sapeva.

Voto: 6+
"Coriolanus" di Ralph Fiennes, 123minuti, 2011.

For thou hast made the happy earth thy hell,
Fill'd it with cursing cries and deep exclaims …"

Doth with his lofty and shrill-sounding throat
Awake the god of day."

That fools should be so deep contemplative."

"Bid me discourse, I will enchant thine ear,
Or, like a fairy, trip upon the green,
Or, like a nymph, with long dishevell'd hair,
Dance on the sands, and yet no footing seen"
#Shakespeare, Venus and Adonis

A brief #aurora storm tints the grey sands with green, but the Lómagnúpur mountain has seen it all before.

Late October, near midnight, Skeiðarársandur outwash plain, southern #Iceland.
