Brian Cox – Acting in Tragedy – BBC Acting Series
In this terrific 60-minute master class, Brian Cox covers the fine points of tragic acting. The London Times calls this video, “Full of common sense In the end, it is we actors who are on the spot Scenes that start rehearsal as straightforward Shakespeare babble assume dramatic shape ”Brian Cox says: Events in tragedy are obstacles. The protagonist’s job is to keep the obstacles at bay. He keeps batting them away into outer space, like Superman. They keep flying at him. He bats them away! If you play Titus Andronicus, you’re exhausted. You turn around, your daughter’s had her tongue cut out. You turn around and your son’s head has been cut off. Turn around and your brother’s lying in the ground. How much more can I take? As the actor you keep pushing it away. But you know you have to go on that journey. You can’t avoid it. You can’t say, ‘Ah well, I don’t think I’ll do Titus tonight.’ You have to understand the responsibility that comes with the work.
“Fascinating theater in its own right, from Cox’s gritty takes on Macbeth and Titus Andronicus, which leave him covered in stage blood.”
– LIBRARY JOURNAL “The viewer is given the feeling he or she is also partaking in the class. Cox imparts the ability to break down a scene into chunks easily understood by a modern audience. it’s admirable how much wisdom and inspiration Cox imparts in an hour.
