thehefnerBy which I mean, just photos of King John! Me, John! Playing King John! From the Life and Death of King John. Presented by the John Hefner players. A Samuel L. Bronkowitz production. Also starring Big Jim Slade and Donald Sutherland as The Clumsy Waiter!
Now, I know I have a reputation for being... something of a ham actor. I know, it seems crazy, but that's how it is. It's been said of me that I am a... how did they put it exactly? Ah, yes. A whore for the audience. That's me. But honestly, I think with this show, all that is about to change. King John has proven to be one of the most layered, complex, nuanced, rich, and flavorful characters I have ever played. I don't mean to toot my own tuba (horns are fit only for commies and unwed mothers, never forget that), but I dare say that this may truly be some of the most subtle work of my acting career.
See? Why, you can just feel the subtlety as it whaps itself over your head with the 2X4 of nuance, can't you?
*sniff* from my death scene (it's called 'The Life and Death of King John', it's not like I'm spoiling anything). I just look at this and I just... I just... I'm sorry, I can't go on... next picture, please... I SAID NEXT PICTURE, PLEASE!
Ah yes, much better. Can't you just feel the raw, regal power of this image eminating from your fingerprint-smudged screens and into your hearts? If I were King, the world would indeed be a... place. Maybe better, maybe worse, but a place nonetheless.
MOTHER: Tuck your shirt in!
KING JOHN: Yes, mother.
Ahh, yes. Here, Hubert has just informed me of young Arthur's death. While I wanted Arthur dead, I also have to be appear sorrowful and shocked for the other lords. These layers upon acting layers proved to be one of the most difficult trials in my life as an actor. Nay... as a human being itself. Myself. Whatever. Behold for yourself:
BEHOLD! MY AWESOME...
...ACTING...
...TALENT!!!
And finally, the coop da gracie...
And just in case you can't put two and two together...
Yes. THAT King John.
If this has not proved too overwhelming for you, then please, by all means, come see KING JOHN, September 23, 24, 30, and October 1st! Information can be found at The Rude Mechanicals website.
