So, Mr Prynne was tried,
:35:06
convicted,
:35:08
and sentenced to the stocks.
:35:14
Where his feet were burned,
his ears lopped off,

:35:17
and his tongue cut out.
:35:19
Yet...
:35:21
in spite of all this,
:35:23
Mr Prynne never recanted.
:35:27
Some say his stoicism
in the face of such excess...

:35:33
...is what fanned the flames
of the Puritan revolt.

:35:39
And so, off with my father's head.
:35:45
And I to Holland for 20 years.
:35:54
I think it might be fun
to see women on the stage.

:35:58
They have had them in France
for a long time now.

:36:02
Yes.
:36:04
Whenever we're about
to do something truly horrible,

:36:08
we always say
the French have been doing it for years.

:36:11
Hyde, issue a proclamation.
:36:14
Permission to perform is hereby granted.
:36:19
For Mrs Hughes?
:36:22
To all women.
:36:34
We wish to see this new Othello
at the earliest possible convenience.

:36:38
Say, Saturday.
:36:39
Make note, Hyde.
:36:40
Saturday, Othello.
:36:42
The other one.
:36:44
So, Kynaston,
will you see Mrs Hughes perform?

:36:49
I'd love to know
what you think of the death scene.

:36:51
Oh, I'm always interested
in how my rivals die.

:36:54
Your Grace?
:36:56
Well, no. I've had my fill of Desdemonas.
