1:22:02
but he never taught you
to suffer like a woman
1:22:05
or love like a woman.
1:22:09
He trapped a man in woman's form
and left you there to die!
1:22:16
I always hated you as Desdemona.
1:22:20
You never fought!
1:22:21
You just died beautifully!
1:22:27
No... no woman would die like that,
no matter how much she loved him!
1:22:32
A woman would fight!
1:22:44
I need a Desdemona!
1:22:46
What?
1:22:47
"Sheffield's Gift to the Theatre" has
returned to her mother's to have a baby!
1:22:52
A baby?
1:22:54
Well, that didn't happen in the old days, did it?
1:22:57
It's a catastrophe!
1:22:59
The Palace is reconsidering its patronage,
1:23:01
the King is coming to see the show tonight
1:23:04
and I need a Desdemona by eight o'clock.
1:23:06
Right, who's available?
1:23:07
There is only one actress in London
I'm aware of who knows the part,
1:23:11
and is currently between bookings.
1:23:14
I won't do it!
1:23:15
But didn't you hear him? It's for the King!
1:23:18
- But I'm no good.
- Well, that never stopped you before.
1:23:21
My dear, the King comes tonight
to decide whether to patronise my theatre again.
1:23:25
If we put him off, he'll know something's up!
You must play, Mrs Hughes!
1:23:32
What do you intend to do about this?
1:23:51
I can't play Desdemona.
1:23:53
I never could.
1:23:59
I don't know how to act.
