Me and Orson Welles Page #4

Mr. Coulouris,

you look great beyond.

I thought we practiced with costumes.

But as you cut into the piece, -

could my role

equally well be written off.

Antony's funeral speech

play's climax. Everybody knows it.

The audience will whisper it

in chorus with you.

Yes, if they are still awake after

the numerous scenes with you and Gabel.

To every single scene with Cassius

be included with all dialogue preserved -

while the scenes with Anthony,

all of which you know has an important role -

be cut down to 40 lines

is something I do not understand.

But Gabel is the director's favorite.

Just as Olivier was -

when we played together at Elsie

Fogerty acting school in London.

George! The material in

"Friends, Romans, countrymen" -

is not the actual speech,

but its effect on the audience.

You listen.

You judge their reactions.

You end up. You control them.

- Orson.

Do you think that you can teach me something

I do not know?

Duthie!

They spoil my role, and now will you

kill us. What orchestration!

Contemporary clothing.

They can not afford costumes -

or a scene without holes.

Lemme in the floor is as old as

Shakespeare. This is not for children.

I thought you rehearsed your lines.

- I pity my good lines.

Go and close the door. Someone banks.

- Lord, Cassius stands at the door.

Is he one?

- There is someone with him.

Not "no" but "more".

The Shakespeare poetry.

Do you think you can change the world

greatest playwright words?

No I ...

- Rehearse your lines.

I can my lines.

- You must exert yourself "several" times.

This scene must humanize

whole piece historical procession.

We weep for Brutus dead

due to this scene.

The beautiful lullaby prisoners

all his unspeakable sadness.

A lullaby that I have taken from

Henry the Eighth, 3rd Act 1st scene.

Has he got ukulele? Sonja,

he must use music for the song.

Your mother is

very dissatisfied with you.

Why?

- Because you came home after midnight.

Jeez, however. All the meanness.

I get choked.

When he gets to the ladder top ...

- I have not heard of colorless light.

Hello.

Where's the color filters?

- Muriel, the ones we take care of later.

Light pink is the only color

which effectively highlights -

my natural skin tone. Jeannie,

you'll be sweet to put these in?

Do whatever she says. I will

just do not hear more about the skin tones.

Understood? Me recite my soliloquy

in the foreground on the right.

But it is known,

that humility often is ...

Should you be there?

Will you instruct the play? We could indeed

throw a bright pink light over the audience.

I will not look like a giant

that hovers over you. People will laugh.

No. People will not even look at you.
