📺🍀Truxton Spangler!!!!! (My fellow Rubi's know.) 😊 Such a charismatic, compelling, and stellar actor!!!!! One of the best, ever!! ❤
Encouraging. You have the baton! Victory is ours. Power to the people. Free the land. The revolution will not be televised ❤
INJUSTA LA HISTORIA CON ESTA DAMA, Y ESOS CIENTIFICOS OPORTUNISTAS QUE SE LLEVARON TODO EL CREDITO.
I like the boxing match interpretation of this scene
It would make sense that he would have Obamas number
Go, Tony!!!
Outstanding Performance!
He’s George Clooney handsome
Is there a full version anywhere?
Is there a full version anywhere?
☺️🤣😂
😂👍🏾
Promo sm
Do you guys stream your plays? They look amazing
Great question! We'll stream plays occasionally, but it's typically not standard practice (as it complicates the licensing). If we're streaming a play, that information can be found on our website. Thanks!
A.C. Smith is magnificent.
This bitch of an earth.
Well done🎉
ur trash get gud u have 9-11 subs lmao
I would love to see the full upload!
So sorry I missed it! It looks as good as the movie (which had Cary Grant).
Is there a full version of this available anywhere?
Great work!
Where could I see the whole play. I'd love to show my students
'Promosm' 🤪
my favorite play
mikhail fiksel is currently scabbing against the longest running adjunct teachers strike in the history of the united states. he kicked colleagues out of a job on thanksgiving that are now unemployed for christmas. is there an award for that?
I'd love to see the entirety of this performance
Excellent actors. As for the characters, Othello is a stupid. His low self-esteem and low self-confidence show that he doesn't love himself first, so he can't really love Desdemona and none else. He always compares himself to the white civilized Venetian men, even if he knows very well that Desdemona refused many of them and chose him. He doesn't even give her the benefit of the doubt, he takes all that comes from Yago's mouth as true. The only guilty is him, not Yago. If he had more respect for himself and for all the people, anyone could tell him anything but he wouldn't have doubted of the love and faithfulness of his wife.
aayein
Well done !!!!!!
SANG !!!!!!!!!!
Can you put up more clips of scenes from this production, everyone has done phenomenal in the clips you have posted and id love to see more

Oh wow im just finding this..
How was this even allowed in 2014???
❤❤❤
Love love love love love this show.
This is amazing.
😔ワトソンとクリックと言う表舞台に立っている有名な二人は頭が良かった❗が彼達以上に超頭が良かった人間がロズリンド·フランクリンです☺️……私の記憶に間違いが無いとすれば2回もノーベル賞に輝いた先輩の論文に初歩的なミスを見つけて有頂天に成って遠方から(😔当時の移動手段はアナログ以下ですから長時間を要したでしょうに🥴…)フランクリンを訪ねて【僕は凄い事を見つけたんだよお〜〜❗】と子供の様に歓喜に満ちて言ったのでしょうが超頭が良くて卓越していたフランクリンにして見れば【🙄それが一体何だと言うのか❓大問題のテーマなのか❓🤔】としか受け取れ無かったのだろう……😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
THE CHORUS IS 🔥!!✔ LEADER?😊❤❤❤!!
Love this!
A lot of us know her as Natalie and Janet on AMC. Good to see her still acting. Wish she's come back to the soaps.
I just watched this at the Getty Villa in Malibu last night and it touched my heart so, so deeply. I'm not usually a cryer, but I wept in the car from all the brokenness, truth, beauty, love, and hope I saw on stage. I don't know how much longer it will be before I'm grieving my parents' final journeys, but this show encompasses all the various feelings I'm sure I will walk through. Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing this incredible production! What a gift!
I saw it opening & I’m still jamming & rocking!
This man won a Pulitzer Prize.
