Oliver Ford Davies: Performing Jacobean Verse and Prose, Part 2
The Olivier Award-winning actor Oliver Ford Davies is a Professional Associate of the Department of Theatre, Film and Television at the University of York and gave the 2011 Cantor Modern Art Lecture at the University on Did Gertrude Know? Some Problems in Performing Shakespeare.
In these two short films, Oliver explores the challenges of speaking early Jacobean dramatic verse. His examples are Shakespearean, but all the challenges he addresses also face those who perform Marston. Oliver’s puzzlement at some of the lines Shakespeare gives the King of France in All's Well that Ends Well (a role he took in Marianne Elliott's 2009 National Theatre production) equally apply to the style of a playwright whose early Jacobean idiom can include such sentences as Freevill’s “they are much possessed...

Crawls to maturity, wherewith being crown'd,
Crooked eclipses 'gainst his glory fight,

Like as the waves make towards the pebbl'd shore,
So do our minutes hasten to their end;
Each changing place with that which goes before,
In sequent toil all forwards do contend.
Nativity, once in the main of light,
Crawls to maturity, wherewith being crown'd,
Crooked eclipses 'gainst his glory fight,
And Time that gave doth now his gift confound.
Time doth transfix the flourish set on youth
And delves the parallels in beauty's brow,
Feeds on the rarities of nature's truth,
And nothing stands but for his scythe to mow:
And yet to times in hope my verse shall stand,
Praising thy worth, despite his cruel hand.
