So many famous phrases - this sceptered isle, this happy breed, this earth, this realm - this England!

Eileen Pollock. Exactly, just what I was thinking, who can forget them. Could be a Churchill speech.

Michael Pennington is a great Shakespearean actor who deserves to be far more famous than he is. I was just watching clips from Michael Bogdanov's English National Theatre production of Richard II where he plays the king opposite Clyde Pollitt's Gaunt. Another reversal, but this time a more welcome one. He's still marvelous as ever.

I saw this last year in NY. I was really disappointed to find that Michael Pennington was replaced by Julian Glover.

How incredibly prophetic --- "That England that was wont to conquer others hath made a SHAMEFUL conquest of itself". Britain's epitaph.

The speech is a criticism of Richard II and his policies. The speech echoes the ideas of Athelstan (that the England is a nation-state of defence) and ties in with Elizabeth I's speech at Tilbury (the actual speech not the Cate Blanchett movie speech).

Wonderful interjection of inappropriate laughter at the end there. Normally I find myself rolling my eyes at the stony silence when the audience doesn't understand the obvious humour. This time it is reversed. Great. STFU.
