I get fully naked in the show and for me to do that from day one, I was like, 'this could be interesting!'

Elerian plays up the comic potential of the atypical casting, with frequent sight gags and silly asides. Though the energy dips in places – the subplot involving shepherds Silvius and Phoebe feels especially superfluous – there are some compelling, inventive ideas on display, too. An intriguing framing device implies that the performers are attempting to recreate a version of the play that they performed decades before, from memory, and a new epilogue composed by Robin Soans sublimely recreates the wit and warmth of Shakespeare’s language. In 2014, Brammall joined the main cast of the Network Ten series Offspring, playing the role of midwife Leo Taylor. He also has a co-starring role in the Josh Lawson written and directed comedy feature, The Little Death. James Hayes provides masterly comic relief as wise fool Touchstone, regularly breaking character to comment wittily on the action as he prowls about the stage, reeling off puns and paradoxes with apparent effortlessness. Joining the cast at late notice, Christopher Saul invests melancholy courtier Jaques with solemn gravity, his brow furrowed with world-weariness; and Ewart James Walters gives a memorable turn as champion wrestler Charles, imbuing the antagonistic character with unexpected charm.

Malcolm Sinclair’s Orlando is an understated presence, his infatuation with Geraldine James’ Rosalind more sweetly sentimental than all-consumingly passionate. James, meanwhile, portrays the disguised noblewoman with a mixture of playful evasiveness and open-heartedness, unable to keep her face from lighting up every time she lays eyes on Orlando. The two share a plausible, unforced chemistry. Ana Inés Jabares-Pita’s sparse, realistic set initially seems to place the action in a perfectly ordinary rehearsal room, bare except for a few chairs and ranks of harsh halogen strip lights hanging overhead. But as the actors immerse themselves more deeply in the world of the play, more whimsical elements are introduced: swords and flower crowns, brightly coloured fabrics, hunting trophies.

Deciding to make acting his full-time career, he left Harvard in his second year to appear in two more Disney movies, Kidnapped (1960) and Swiss Family Robinson (1960). He was named a possibility for Bon Voyage (1962) but did not appear in the film. [10] Fresh comedy emerges from the gap between customary expectation and inhibited execution – the early wrestling bout oozes bathos as Sinclair and Ewart James Walters’s Charles resort to an elaborately effortful round of hand-wrestling. James Hayes obtains a delightful quality of tragicomic zest as Touchstone the clown, luxuriating in a spry frailty and carefree attitude. More poignantly still, Christopher Saul, standing in for an indisposed Oliver Cotton as the melancholy Jaques, brings a fragile, faltering note to that famous Seven Ages of Man speech; even the prompts he gets feel like they’re reinventing the scene. James Hayes (Prince Rupert's secretary) (1637–1694), Prince Rupert's secretary and first Deputy Governor of the Hudson's Bay Company With a career in performing, it would be easy to assume that James had sky-high confidence before becoming a Dreamboy.

Cast & Crew

At the end of last year, at Sohoplace in London, Josie Rourke gave us a version of this pastoral comedy in which a pianist wove a central running commentary. Jim M'Arthur, Helen Hayes' Son, to Co-Star in Movie", Chicago Daily Tribune, November 26, 1956: B-14. The theme is milked for all it’s worth – fight scenes have the actors wincing at the fear of injury, lines are forgotten and prompted and there are constant looks to the audience at some of the more incongruous speeches. Hayes refused to discuss his sexual orientation for many years, saying he believed that audiences would therefore be more open-minded about his characters. [32] In a 2010 interview with The Advocate, he appeared to imply that he is gay, stating: "Really? You're gonna shoot the gay guy down? I never have had a problem saying who I am. I am who I am." He also indicated that he was in a relationship. He feels he has "contributed monumentally to the success of the gay movement in America, and if anyone wants to argue that, I'm open to it." [10]

In November 2014, Hayes announced that he had married his partner of eight years, Scott Icenogle. [33]I wrote The Green Eye of the Little Yellow God in five hours, but I had it all planned out. It isn't poetry and it does not pretend to be, but it does what it sets out to do. It appeals to the imagination from the start: those colours, green and yellow, create an atmosphere. Then India, everyone has his own idea of India. Don't tell the public too much. Strike chords. It is no use describing a house; the reader will fix the scene in some spot he knows himself. All you've got to say is 'India' and a man sees something. Then play on his susceptibilities. Everyone after the show always says how much they enjoyed seeing us have fun on the stage and messing about. But interpretation and emotion do stealthily intertwine – the company’s vulnerability chiming with the self-exposing nature of love. You notice the incongruity of Malcolm Sinclair’s advanced years as Orlando amid references to the hero’s youth, his ardour a shadow of the “real thing”, yet its own force. I had come out of a really bad relationship a year and a half ago where I was always put down," he said.
