I saw Mark Rylance playing Ariel 42 years ago!   The whole play was amazing.   I was sitting in the 'cheap' seats right on the stage.

Sir Mark Rylance, one of the best actors of our generation. What a fantastic clip. ❤

Love the way he sets up the play as a situation where it's all open and has not happened yet.  Very inviting!

What a gentle, calm, soothing voice he has.

Mark was amazing in Wolf Hall ❤

Wonderful man, what a fantastic event.

A true artist, thank you for sharing.

Whoever wrote this had a great power of mind and huge knowledge of what works for an audience, actors and a story.

he's rocking Shakespeare's hair style. modern bard

Moving … wonderful as ever, Mark Rylance thank you

Can you imagine the impact of this manner of delivery and understanding of the text in schools?

Regardless of the content,Sir Mark Rylance would read it in the most excellent manner

He is so lovely!

Sir Mark’s reading of “The Tempest” is stunning.  I did this play several times with 10-12 year old students, and the students loved the story and loved the language.  Their interpretations of the characters and the story were fresh and always changing.  Frankly, I don’t care who really wrote these plays.  What I care about is the fact that these beautiful plays are ours to love, learn from and to enjoy.

Mark Rylance. Good man.

To my ear, definitely the most beautiful English voice of his generation...

I have "acted", more or less, for about 40 years. In that tumblehome  history, and had the great good fortune to do about 25 of his plays.
You non-actors? Ever seen a play by Kit Marlowe produced? Nope.Hmm....
Any other contemporary work? Didn't stand the passage of time.
This guy was special. Can I explain his volatile, searching mind?
I cannot.

Wonderful!  Thank you.
