The Costume Drama Thread

[Virgil Reality]

Just to get us started, here's a You tube video - Lines You Wouldn't Hear in A Costume Drama

Now, what would be a good costume drama for Hans to do next?

Forget Wuthering Heights.

How about The Virgin abd The Gypsy?

(Hans'd be the gypsy, of course

Looks like it hasn't been done since the Franco Nero version in 1970

As he has Shakespeare on the mind -- Iago would be awfully interesting.

Or, dare I think it, MacBeth?! I remember seeing it at the Globe with Paul Chahidi (Chris is "Stella") as one of the Three Witches -- referred to in this context as the Three "Weird Sisters" (it was great -- all three men, in tuxedos and goof eyed glasses) -- and thinking "Lord, Shakespeare with a brogue -- I've died and gone to heaven".


and although they just remade it -- I love "A Lion in Winter" all great characters. So complex and intriguing

I read the synopsis of The Virgin and the Gypsy. It sounds like a good costume drama for Han's to do.

There are two costume dramas that I wouldn't mind seeing Hans in. They are:

Hangover Square

and

The House on the Strand
