Henry IV Part II

[Karl-G]

Did anyone else go to see "The Globe Theater Presents Henry IV Part II" this evening?

 

It was a great pleasure seeing a play actually being performed in the Globe Theater in London and much more comfortable than standing for three hours or sitting on those hard benches. Roger Allam and William Gaunt were excellent in major roles.

 

But three twinks stood out in the cast both for their acting and for being so adorable and cute also. Jamie Parker, who played Scripps in the original "The History Boys" played Prince Hal. Joseph Timms is exceptionally cute and played John of Lancaster, one of the king's sons, as well as a couple of other parts. And then Oliver Coopersmith, who is so cute it is hard to believe he is real, played Falstaff's boy and also the Duke of Clarence, another of the king's sons. He may be only 18 years old. Does anyone know anything more about Timms and Coopersmith?
