89 BBC Shakespeare Icons

[thisbluespirit]

Mostly made during naarmamo, so I wound up doing a handful from each play most days. This means they are rather a random collection. (So don't judge me on what is and isn't here! I'll do more presently, I hope.) They're from the BBC adaptations from 30 years ago, not the most recent ones. I'm forever behind the times.

Preview:



Icons from: The Two Gentlemen of Verona, Richard III, Measure For Measure, King Lear, Julius Caesar, Henry V, Henry IV Pts 1 & 2, Cymbeline and As You Like It. Plus some text icons (quotes from the same plays).

Showing: John Hudson (Valentine), Tessa Peake-Jones (Julia), Ron Cook (Richard III), Zoe Wanamaker (Lady Anne), Jacqueline Pearce (Mariana), Kevin Stoney, Kate Nelligan (Isabella), Kenneth Colley (Duke Vincentio), Tim Piggott-Smith (Angelo, Hotspur), Alun Armstrong, Penelope Wilton (Regan), Gillian Barge (Goneril), Michael Hordern (Lear), Brenda Blethyn (Cordelia), Michael Kitchen (Edmund), Anton Lesser (Edgar), David Collings (Cassius), Richard Pasco (Brutus, Jacques), Jocelyne Boisseau (Katherine), David Gwillim (Hal/Henry V), Alec MacGowan (Chorus), Jon Finch (Henry IV), Michele Dotrice (Lady Percy), Robert Morris (Mortimer), Sharon Morgan (Lady Mortimer), Anthony Quayle (Falstaff), Richard Johnson (Cymbeline), Claire Bloom (the Queen), Helen Mirren (Imogen, Rosalind), Robert Lindsay (Iachimo), Graham Crowden, Paul Jesson (Cloten), Angharad Rees (Celia) and James Bolam (Touchstone).

These really are fabulous - I love your icon posts, they always brighten my daily flist :)

[thisbluespirit]

Aw, thanks! :-) And as I've said many times, yours also - there are several nice things about naarmamo but definitely one of the best is the treat of getting new icons from you every day.

Snaffling #70. (I'm actually looking for the one about mending an umbrella-stand, but as I seem to be in a constantly-shaking-up-my-icons mood lately, I thought I'd download some others and do a set. *g*)

[thisbluespirit]

Hee. (Sorry, I actually only found this comment way after reading all the rest. All is explained!) And thanks, your chatty comments all over my aged icon posts was a v cheery thing to wake up to this morning. (Sorry you weren't having a good evening/night though. :-/ *hugs*)

#70, yes! (It's Cymbeline where everything gets reversed in the last scene. He's v confused, as you would be. I read a great fic for the play, where they have a feast and then afterwards everyone gets even more confused about where and who they are. And I'm not allowed to say anything more about Cymbeline, because I tend to focus on the v annoying fact that I loved the play, that I nearly went to see it at the Barbican in 2007. In a production that I now know had David Collings as Cymbeline and Tom Hiddleston as Posthumus and Cloten. So I tend to sulk a lot at this point, as you can imagine. ;-D)

[justice-turtle.livejournal.com]

Ooh, that would be terribly annoying, yes. :PPPP

*hugs back*

[thisbluespirit]

I had my chance to see him in rl and I blew it. Yes.

(So I'm not allowed to talk about Cymbeline too much.)
