Shakespeare gets the multiple-personality treatment
Bard on the Beach is staging a strong Richard III this summer.
But how do you think the work would look if it starred Christopher Walken? Or Ron Howard? Or Ricky Gervais? Or William Shatner? Or Droopy Dog?
Wonder no more: American impressionist Jim Meskimen does an insanely astute job at channelling these and dozens more famous actors, Shakespearean and not, all over the course of a single performance of Clarence's famous prophecy speech.
