We're left in no doubt that Burton will triumph, when I wanted uncertainty and possibility - the collective inhale that Branagh described when playing Hamlet. Also, justice for Elizabeth Taylor who deserves a postscript too! Tuppence Middleton is a delight.
In a pause from marking I took myself off to The Motive and the Cue. An incredible and hugely enjoyable production. It thinks really interestingly about the contingencies of fame and performance, failure, and Shakespeareanism so perfect research for my bad!Shakespeare project.
I disliked the ending though, which in its combination of postscripts explaining Burton's and Gielgud's success, the soundtrack (Zadok the Priest) and Burton in the Yorick pose, overdetermines the subsequent moment of performance.

@drhannahrobbins@shelleypchan@MantleBooks Oooh, I got this for Christmas and I'm pleased to hear you enjoyed it. I must admit that I've forgotten what happened in the first one, though! 🙈
@DrMirandaFay I absolutely adore that this appeared immediately before @EarlyModernista's post, sharing her excitement about 'excellent women and excellent women's academic achievements'.
