i love the way henry iv in david giles' production was dressed. wicked slay cunt.
#i let a little bostonian get into me w that wicked but it felt right#tales from diana#i have the right to use new england slang words i live here#not only his headwraps but his gloves with those glamorous rings on top. im sorry but serve? maam?#i do like how they made his dress resemble henry iv's real portraits. and just the fact that jon finch resembles him very well!#in face. that's very satisfying#i remember when ben whatsisface played octavius caesar in the 2017(?) production of antony and cleopatra#i could've shit he looks JUST like the marble bust of augustus. i think i made a post about it one of the times i watched it#ofc you can cast whoever you want if youre a director but when the actor does look like the real historical figure. it makes my brain go br#david gwillim looks reasonably like henry v too & i like that they gave him the facial scar after the battle of shrewsbury#honestly henry v's never-to-be-seen facial scar from that battle is the only thing i find thoroughly interesting about him. the real henry#not the shakespearean version. prince hal i find plenty compelling#but the fact that his only portraits as an adult are taken from a completely side-facing angle. it begs the question!#diana the historical portrait nerd...#text post#shakespeare#henry iv#david giles#if i had a higher quality of the productions to watch id take screenshots but since the bbc television shakespeare#seems to only be available to stream in doody quality everywhere... eh what's the point
