Steven Berkoff discussion / Re: Steven Berkoff as Polonius in Hamlet
« Last post by Iain Fisher on January 26, 2024, 07:02:16 PM »
The film is in cinemas in the UK from 27 February 2024.  There is also a filmed Q&A with Ian McKellen and Director Sean Mathias.

"A tale of revenge that has stood the test of time, Shakespeare’s classic tragedy is reimagined for the modern day as a gripping psychological thriller! Transcending the confines of the stage in a uniquely modern take, the film utilises nearly every room of the Theatre Royal Windsor to transform it into the immortal Elsinore Castle, from basement dungeon to roof-top battlement.

Ian McKellen - reprising his lead role as Hamlet, a man who descends into madness as he seeks vengeance against his uncle for the apparent murder of his father - leads a stellar cast with stage and screen legend, Steven Berkoff, and stars of the critically acclaimed, recent stage cast of ‘Hamlet’: Frances Barber (King Lear, Chekhov’s The Seagull), Jonathan Hyde (King Lear, Titanic, Crimson Peak), Jenny Seagrove and BAFTA-winner Francesca Annis, bringing their iconic roles to life in this compelling new film adaptation".

Sadly Georgina Hale has passed away.  For me her most memorable performance were in Maher (wife Alma Mahler) and The Devils (Philippe).  More soon.

Steven Berkoff discussion / An Analytical Study in Steven Berkoff’s Greek in Arabic
« Last post by Iain Fisher on December 24, 2023, 06:49:26 PM »
"The Plague of the Working-Class: An Analytical Study in Steven Berkoff’s Greek" by Ahmed Rasheed Ibrahim and Nahidh Falih Sulaiman.

The study is described as focussing on "analyzing the play Greek (1980)... from a Marxist point of view. Berkoff himself was a Marxist during the period in which he wrote Greek, so Marxist themes are prevalent in his plays... The study concentrates on analyzing the Marxist identity of the characters of the play, and how it relates to their daily lives."

The study is in Arabic. Details are here
