Mr Kynaston.
1:27:37
Mrs Hughes.
1:27:46
Let's get to work, shall we?
1:27:48
Er, yes.
1:27:49
Are you wearing that tonight?
1:27:52
Yes
No, youre not

1:27:54
- Sir Charles designed this costume.
- It looks it.

1:27:57
- You'll strip down to your shift.
- Strip?

1:28:00
You can't teach me how to be a woman!
1:28:02
I'm not teaching you how to be a woman,
but how to be Desdemona.

1:28:05
I don't want to be Desdemona.
I don't want to act ever again.

1:28:08
No! You claimed the role. Hold onto it
till they pry your fingers from its neck.

1:28:12
And you hold this theatre in your hands.
So stand still, dry your eyes and strip!

1:28:15
Muss your hair before the scene.
1:28:18
Not like that, that's puffing it
to make it look attractive.

1:28:20
No, no, no, no lip paint. White cheeks.
1:28:23
Pale lips. Blood drains down with sleep,
not up to the face.

1:28:26
Now, the way Betterton does the last scene,
there are 32 lines, cutting 17.

1:28:33
You're the woman, I'm the man.
Start on the bed.

1:28:37
Not like that! That's like me.
1:28:41
Is that how you sleep?
1:28:45
How am I supposed to know how I sleep?
I'm sleeping while I sleep!

1:28:48
Don't act with what isn't there!
1:28:50
The man's been a festering boil
1:28:53
- for three fucking hours, hasn't he?
- Yes.

1:28:55
He's come to your room, woke you
and told you to pray before you die.

1:28:58
- So, what's the line?
- Talk you of killing?
