I played Kent in the last production of Lear I was a part of. Kent is my favorite. I was so happy when I was cast.
Of course I was only two years old at the time. ;-)
Fellow, I know thee...a knave; a rascal; an eater of broken meats; a base, proud, shallow, beggarly, three-suited, hundred-pound, filthy, worsted-stocking knave; a lily-livered, action-taking knave, a whoreson, glass-gazing, super-serviceable finical rogue; one-trunk-inheriting slave; one that wouldst be a bawd, in way of good service, and art nothing but the composition of a knave, beggar, coward, pandar, and the son and heir of a mongrel b%@&@: one whom I will beat into clamorous whining, if thou deniest the least syllable of thy addition.
Kent is my favourite, too! I started with Edgar, but graduated to Kent. Part of his appeal is that you get to choose which accent to borrow for his disguise - I found that a Yorkshire accent makes many of his lines ring particularly well...
One of the most satisfying moments playing Kent!!! I love that speech. Kent and Cordelia man, the only real good guys in the whole play. So much fun!
Hey! You're talking about my neck of the woods! Good ol' Draco the dragon. In which there lies a certain star named Eltanin. Does this mean that I'm rough and lecherous? That'd be nifty.
My father compounded with my mother under the
dragon's tail; and my nativity was under Ursa
Major; so that it follows, I am rough
and lecherous.
You rough lecherous cur, Eltanin!!!
