  • A Thousand Good-Morrows [Shakespeare For You]

    A Thousand Good-Morrows [Shakespeare For You]

    🎭 Madam and mistress, a thousand good-morrows.  

    — Valentine, Two Gentlemen of Verona 2-1

    [ACTING TIPS]

    This phrase reminds me of Juliet’s saying “A thousand times good night”.  

    Valentine is so nervous in front of Sylvia, and says “Madam and mistress” to her.

    Take very low status.  Put very high status on her.

  • O Hateful Hands [Shakespeare For You]

    O Hateful Hands [Shakespeare For You]

    🎭 O hateful hands, to tear such loving words! 
    Injurious wasps, to feed on such sweet honey
    And kill the bees that yield it with your stings! 
    I’ll kiss each several paper for amends.

    — Julia, Two Gentlemen of Verona 1-2

    [ACTING TIPS]

    Yourself and parts of your body are different.  Hamlet apologises to Laertes that it is his hands have done harm and not he.  Julia’s hands tore the letter from Proteus without Julia’s intention.  Talk to your hands, be angry at your hands, but you will be kissing the letter.

  • Give Me Some Music [Shakespeare For You]

    Give Me Some Music [Shakespeare For You]

    🎭 Give me some music, music, moody food Of us that trade in love. 

    — Cleopatra, Antony and Cleopatra

    Shakespeare loves music and there are thousands of references about music.  This is one of them.  

    We can tell that she is moody because she is in love with Antony.  I think she must’ve been a constant lady rather than a moody one, until she met Antony.  This feeling of moodiness must be new to her.
