#Sean Holmes

[shakespearenews]

In his role as associate artistic director of Shakespeare’s Globe, Holmes, 54, has carved out a reputation for colourful, magical reinventions of Shakespeare. Last year, his raucous contemporary Tempest was a laugh-a-minute riot of a beach party. There were nods to Love Island and White Lotus, and Ferdy Roberts as Prospero spent the show wearing tight yellow swimming trunks. In February, he turned The Winter’s Tale into a tale of two meals (“one high-end and exclusive, one very festival and inclusive”), taking over both the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse indoors and the outdoor Globe Theatre.

His contribution this summer is a boisterous production of The Comedy of Errors, part of the Globe’s 400th anniversary celebrations of the First Folio, a season that also includes Elle While’s take on A Midsummer Night’s Dream and productions of Macbeth and As You Like It. Holmes’ Comedy of Errors is conducted at a cracking pace, featuring dagger-wielding nuns and twins in very large codpieces, it’s endearingly silly but never glib. Arguably, the production is so funny precisely because Holmes takes the text seriously.

Straight Shooting

COWBOIS The Swan, Royal Shakespeare Company, Friday 3rd November 2023 This exuberant new piece by Charlie Josephine (who co-directs with Sean Holmes) is a Wild West yarn about a backwater town where the menfolk have all buggered off because of the Gold Rush and haven’t been heard from since, leaving the women and children to fend for themselves.  The women adapt to survive, performing…

BEHOLD! The Lord of the Rings Molecule: Part 2! Seven more key actors from the series all connected to each other in three movies or less, without using a Lord of the Rings movie.

Of all the movies to typo on… 😒

[EDIT:] Yes, John Hurt is also in Alien, but that connection is unnecessary. It all works without it.

Time Bandits (1981) Review

Terry Gilliam's Time Bandits owes a little to J R R Tolkein and a lot to Gilliam's own unconvential imagination.

It's 6 am and I haven't slept from nervousness. I see Amazon Prime has for this included. I'm gonna watch it.

Honestly I've never really done anything "jackass-like", like some people that made the news or got injured doing stupid things like this.

But considering what pain I've always been in, and then the pain I'm in from just regular injuries and my fibromyalgia pain and stuff like that, or just being 37 and you start feeling your body more than when you were 12 years old.

I do not envy anyone in Jackass. There's no fame worth the the amount of debilitating pain some of them must be in from their 22 years of injuries and "stunts".

My broken down body had been hounding me from a young age, that's enough to make life awful many days. I am so glad it's not worse, considering its already fucking terrible.

Still a fun movie, nostalgia to look back on the crazy "tasteless" shit I would watch with my dad or my friends.

BUT seeing Johnny Knoxville get knocked cold by that bull at 51(?) And learning that he had suffered cognitive impairment for several days/weeks after. That's not worth it. You couldn't pay me enough. That scary. He's not 20-30 anymore. His recovery from a concussion isn't what it used to be. And his brain is going to be so bad when he's elderly.

ALSO: I give Steve-O a huge amount of credit for being sober for almost 10+ years now. Truly an excellent thing. I hope he's clean forever. He's crazy as ever, but he's got a totally different personality even without that shit.
