Friends, Romans, Countrymen | Julius Caesar (2014) | Act 3 Scene 2 | Shakespeare's Globe

Luke Thompson as Mark Antony performs the famous 'Friends, Romans, Countrymen' speech from Act III, scene 2 of Julius Caesar, from our 2014 production in the Globe Theatre, directed by Dominic Dromgoole.
Opposing dictatorship and republicanism, private virtue and mob violence, Shakespeare’s tense drama of high politics reveals the emotional currents that flow between men in power.

I've spent a whole... roughly 8ish hours or so memorizing this speech to recite in class today. Still haven't got it down fully, but I know Brutus SURELY is an honourable man. Wish me luck mates <3

Benedict Bridgerton..... is that you?

[@jayparr9719]

Really? You cut this off in the middle of the oration? In the middle of a line?! Fie on thee!

[@stephski55]

I personally really like this reading. I've seen the whole film though and therefore the entirety of the speech. He weeps, he is impassioned, and the scene before this speech is so powerful. I think his speed shows his put on "nervousness" of having to speak before, basically, a mob. I appreciate this delivery and interpretation of the speech! He is out for vengeance and to do that, you have to be angry - which this Antony is!

I CAME HERE TO LOOK AT GESTURES WHAT I FOUND WAS BENEDICT BRIDGERTON I HAVE BEEN BLESSED

o my Benedict

[@cliffdariff74]

he's speaking too fast, then stops

[@virginiamooney4105]

This might be my favorite performance of this speech

[@jimmoriarty4530]

His body language is like a modern gay man, not that of a strong soldier. As an actor he should know the difference. This is really bad

[@spiffygonzales5899]

I feel like the actor is good, but he made it like Antony was an obvious bad guy when it should be heavily speculated. I myself think he believed what he was saying but I have heard it argued about quite a few times.

Where can I find full version?

[@Aaron71222]

phenomenal !

[@ruzickaw]

He seems to be in a comedy

[@denisghirardello8279]

In my opinion his delivery of Antony's speech at times is a bit too fast paced.

Non equity actors, but applaud them for the try
