PASSION ALERT - PASSION ALERT - PASSION ALERT
We get it all in this one... He cries, he becomes enraged, he scowls - a lot. I'll be honest with you though, it was all a bit over my head. I can understand the comedies and romances just fine, but historical Shakespeare is usually out of my range. Twice through and I'm not sure I could give you a summary of what's going on. This part was written for John - he is a joy to watch work, even if I can't understand what he's saying.
