I've seen Marc Antony angry, sad, sarcastic and furious. But I've never seen a Marc Anthony so clearly in despair, still mourning the murder of his friend. "He was my friend, faithful and just to me". That line never carried so much emotion as it was said by this man. Because of this random 4 minute video that popped up in my recommendations I'll have to watch the whole thing. I'm hooked...

This is one of the few versions I've seen where you just hear and feel the sarcasm dripping when he says "Brutus is an honorable man."

Wow. This is probably the BEST Antony I’ve ever heard. This man is a tremendous actor. Perfectly executed (no pun intended). His emotion is PERFECT. Wow.

Excellent! I like how the crowd is noisy and unruly and then goes dead silent when Anthony delivers his brilliant speech, manipulating their emotions like a master rhetorician.

Wicked interpretation. I love the crowds reaction. They agreed with Brutus’s mentions but slowly grew completely silent when they realised the venom in its repetition, which comes across as sarcastic but carries that despair.

it's performances like this, that translate the poetry of shakespeare into something meaningful to everyone, that continues to keep the magic of his plays alive.

The best ever I have seen! When I saw it at the theatre the audience gave him an ovation when he left the stage! Fortunately the whole scene was captured live and is part of the dvd release

THIS IS OUT OF THIS WORLD. I'm honestly speechless.

A fine (all to brief a glimpse) interpretation. Antony's speech superb. Diction and phrasing doing justice to the poetry of Shakespeare. Even the crowd playing the scene to the max. And to Mr. Singleton, didn't the bard himself write in this play. " How many ages hence shall this our lofty scene be acted oe'r, in states unborn and accents yet unknown?"

I love his version. I think this is the best interpretation of Mark Anthony's speech. It was delivered with full conviction and emotions. I was searching the best way my son can adopt for his speech. I m glad I found this. Excellent and epic performance.

This is frankly some of the best performed Shakespeare I've ever seen. So connected, so poignant, and you can feel how that manipulation of the crowd grows and crescendos in this performance. Precise and Brilliant.

It’s been years and I still come back to this every once in a while, the speaker NEVER ceases to amaze with such a beautiful portrayal

I have been going to The RSC at Stratford for over thirty years. I have seen many productions of Julius Caesar there, and elsewhere. This is my favourite interpretation by far. Setting it in a 'modern' African country works brilliantly and highlights the play's relevance in today's world. Ray Fearon's speech as Anthony is a 'tour de force' of acting - perfect! Credit also to Paterson Joseph as Brutus, and Cyril Nr as Cassius. You need to see the whole play to appreciate it's brilliance.

This is a truly incredible performance, and the setting of "Caesar" in Africa is inspired. It shows how acting and directing are arts truly worthy of the name.

Okay I've seen like a hundred versions of this oration, but never one like this. Brilliant!

I saw this production at bam. I’ve watched this clip many many times. now I’m here because the man who raised me, my grandfather, has died, and the first way I could think to meaningfully process my grief was to recite this eulogy as inspired by this performance to my best friend over the phone. Loss and solace eternal contained in these words, for any patriarch really. we the living can only be grateful for what they’ve left behind for us.

The echos of that hall makes his speech all the more harrowing. Truly this is one of the greatest deliveries of this scene, and one of the finest pieces of performance art I've ever beheld.

I'm suposed to remember antony's speech for english class. This video helped me a lot. I listened to it over and over until i remembered the entire thing. Thanks to this i should ace my sililoque and get extra credit points.

This should be a movie. This cast. This director. Amazing!

Saw this live in Stratford 8 years ago. Still etched in brain! Incredible performances!!

0:55 Mark Antony's famous speech. Gives me chills everytime I hear this man recite it

Wow....just wow. This actor captivates the audience with such genuine emotion and power.

Ace it !! Probably the best Mark Anthony's speech I have ever heard...The way he expresses his emotions , the way he controls his vocals , everything was sooo perfect !! Such a spirit !! Whoa.. Hats off for entire cast 💐

This is an incredible performance. The range of emotions and the delivery is fantastic.

this is literally the best version i have seen!!! i wish i could see the whole play with these actors! so real

Jesus Christ!! This was too much! So powerful but so, so, so brilliantly acted. I am amazed. I am crying!

Superb clarity and use of Shakespeare's language

After Brando, this is the best performance as Mark Antony I have ever seen !!

Just had the opportunity to watch this production on Amazon and I was enthralled. It's been a long time since a production of this play has brought tears to my eyes but Ray Fearon's soliloquy with Cesar dead on the escalator ripped my heart out. And the funeral oration was heart rending, as well. What an outstanding job this company delivered. I'm not typically a fan of alternate settings/time periods for Shakespeare's plays, but this was so extraordinarily well done that I have nothing but praise.

Anthony is the best character in all of fiction. He’s no bullshit. He’s back to real life. He’s done with the theories, ideas, rhetoric and feelings. He’s real.

Emotions amazingly expressed by the dramatist.this version i the best . from his actions to emotions to expressions he did an incredible work.

I love this speech and this performance several years on still captivated and inspires me. Modeled my version of this speech for auditions/performances after it

Incredible.

I’m here for school work and out of all the versions I have seen , this one touched me the most . This is immaculate in every way !

Marc Antony was amazing, I need to watch all of it now, so much emotion!

This is seriously cool. Clear diction, emotion, and seriously good!

absolutely incredible!! :O and for those who are wondering why Mark Antony and Calpurnia are black... seriously guys its just a play! WHy drag racism in here??

How is this guy not famous yet?

I saw this live last year in Newcastle and I love what the RSC did. Best play ever

That was simply wonderful!!! I wish I could see this live!!!

Saw this last night at the Southern Theatre here in Columbus, OH! Thanks to OSU and RSC for their 3 yr. collaborative efforts to bring these productions to us! People - please come out and see this production! This is a truly awesome interpretation of these great works!

This is, i think, the best version of marc antony’s speech

This is the best Antony acting I have ever seen.

I think I saw this clip for the first time over 5 years ago and remember being so pulled in! I also remember sharing it and finding others feeling the same. Just saw a clip with someone else performing it with RSC. They were good, but it reminded me that I still haven't seen anything as good as this - and I'm not sure if I ever will in my lifetime... 😅 So many people play this with emotion and passion, but this actor plays the audience on the stage and off the stage like an instrument! His speech is almost musical but still authentic... It doesn't just make me feel for him, It makes me want to take action. So so good!!

RSC really got the casting right for this one. The Globe Theatre's version's Antony was not nearly handsome enough - this Antony is perfect. He's also SO passionate and his lines are SO well-delivered. I can't wait to show this to my High Schoolers.

Excellent interpretation by Ray Fearon.

Sir I just love your acting. You are an inspiration for me

What a stunning performance it is!

Beautiful.

Why isn't there an entire series made on this play ? If there was, i would soo binge watch it !!!!!

Amazing. The best I seen so far.

FANTASTIC. SO WELL DONE.

Brilliant. Simply brilliant

Wow! solid acting. I'd like to see the full play

Beautifully presented❤

this guy is good.

I like the effect of the accent on the sound of the text and the third world emotional sharpness and obviousness of an oral culture (Walter Ong). And yet the hypertext of the play, as is always the case with these things, begins to obscure Shakespeare himself. In taking Shakespeare out of his time into our's, we left little bits of the man from Stratford in the text, unexposed to a critical, thoughtful sun. Nevertheless, seems better than other such higher-text projects.

Moral of the story; If you take out the king, make sure you take out all the kings, retainers, corders, princes, and generals. It’s like chemotherapy, you need to get every last cell.

Wish I lived in the UK, so my chances of being able to see this would be just that much better. I've watched this about a thousand times. Masterfully done Shakespeare.

What I would give to see this performance of JC. One of my favourites, but so often done poorly. This looks absolutely amazing!

Saw this in New York two years ago. Awesome.

That was amazing.

I saw this RSC performance at the Brooklyn Academy of Music's Harvey Theater on Sunday, which was spectacular. It will be there until Sunday 28 April before it moves to Columbus, Ohio for several more performances in May.

outstanding

Great

Just seen this tonight at the Lowry, Salford!! Staggering piece of theatre!!!

wow! WOW! Simply wow!

Wonderfully done!

My favourite Shakespeare monologue; nothing beats Brando's rendition 😍

Brilliant!!! 👏👏👏 now we will hear more!!!

I can feel the emotion

Beautiful!

4:11 NO DON'T STOP IT THERE! I NEED MORE!

Amazing interpretation

Hipnotic and beautiful

Beautiful

oh man....this man is god!!!.....such a powerful speaker....i mean like he evokes such strong emotions....compelling

Brilliant. Just pure brilliant.

Wonderful production, nothing tops it.

I'd have loved to see this producion.

This is my favorite rendition of Marc Antony's speech. Anyone else?

Wow. This is my new favourite rendition.

Brutus still with blood on his hands.

Johnson from Peep Show! hahaha! Brilliant and I loved watching this, so different.

AWESOME!!!!

thank you man ,that is a good speech

Brilliant!

Incredible.

Amazing!

POWERFUL!!!!!! WONDERFUL ACTORS... BRILLIANT!

Love this!

Wonderful actor and actors! He says the issue better than Brando:"(...) Brutus is an honorable man(..)", which should be said with softness, ironically, not screaming desperate!

Absolutely beautiful this is better than the 1970 version which is what I'm doing right now I have to compare this version to the movie with Charlton Heston this is better because it depicts sadness while Charlton Heston depicts anger into sadness.

Very well done!

I came here for Paterson Joseph and got a lot more.

Magnificent.

Wow. Much better than what I've see of the 2017 production (at least 3.2)

outstanding!

That was pretty fucking awesome! ^_^ I wish I could see the whole play! ^_^

Just, wow.
