The Exquisite Torture of Playing King Lear

NEW YORK (AP) On a "King Lear" day, the torture starts early in the morning for Greg Hicks.Even before the actor opens his eyes in his hotel room, the lines of Shakespeare's great play come coursing through his brain like some dastardly internal alarm clock, more fiendish than any real one. And the words don't let up, all day long. They tease him, hound him, make him wonder ceaselessly: "Am I doing it right?"Anyone who thinks doing 85 performances of "Lear" over two years for one of the world's premier classical theater companies might make one cocky or reasonably confident, or relaxed should talk to Hicks, who's currently playing the role in the Royal Shakespeare Company's virtually sold-out engagement at the Park Avenue Armory."Eighty-five performances, and I'm still frightened of it," confesses Hicks, 58. "I still have to take a very deep breath."And he needs all the breath he's got in a rotation that sounds both physically and mentally draining, Hicks also plays two other big roles in the RSC's five-play, six-week run here (a partnership with the Armory, The Ohio State University and the Lincoln Center Festival): the tragically jealous Leontes in "The Winter's Tale," for which he's gotten his most glowing notices, and Julius Caesar.But he's clearly the most obsessed with and vexed by Lear, that misguided ancient monarch who poses an Everest-like challenge to even the most accomplished actor. It's the Bermuda Triangle of Shakespearean roles, to hear Hicks tell it: Just when you think you're in, you're lost."The remarkable thing," the actor says, sitting in a darkened lounge at the Armory one recent afternoon, "is that the more you do it, the more elusive and unfathomable it becomes." He fears that might sound pretentious. "Honestly, I am not being all actory and wanky here," he insists.Wanky isn't a word one would immediately think of to describe the slim, bearded Hicks, who speaks with all the intensity and clarity you'd expect from a Shakespearean actor (though the flip-flops he's wearing with his name emblazoned in magic marker DO seem a bit wanky.)Ironically, Hicks' obvious physical fitness he is a young 58 has not played to his advantage during the current run of "Lear"; some critics have opined that he looks too young and spry to play the role. Hicks wonders why people assume Lear to be a doddering octogenarian."At the end of the play, Lear kills a man how does he do that if he has no strength?" he asks, animatedly. "And he rides around the country on his horses! Paul Scofield was 48 when he played Lear. I'm 58 I have grandchildren." And don't get him started on John Gielgud: "He was 24 when he first played it."Just those two names show you what Hicks is up against every great classical actor of a certain age has seemingly tackled Lear. Only this past spring, Derek Jacobi brought his version to New York."It's difficult because everyone has a particular take on it," Hicks says. "I chose to play a less sympathetic character." Indeed, his Lear declares himself as a manipulator from his first entrance, where he tricks everyone watching by entering from a side where no one expects him."That was my idea," Hicks says with a grin. "I said I wanted to begin the play by wrong-footing the audience."The actor gets a laugh with the entrance, and here Hicks is using something he says he learned from the late Sir Ralph Richardson. "He told me to take the first opportunity to get a laugh, especially in these tragedies," Hicks says. "Because THEN, you can make them cry. Not the other way around."Hicks, who supplements his stage work with TV work in Britain, played his first Shakespearean role at age 11, if you can imagine an 11-year-old Shylock in "The Merchant of Venice." He played Malvolio ("Twelfth Night") at 15, the same age a teacher wrote on his report card: "This boy should become a professional actor."He's worked for years with the RSC, which is based in Shakespeare's birthplace of Stratford-upon-Avon, and where actors are hired for short-term contracts. "I like to think that they'll keep asking me back," he says.He's already in a select group of prominent Shakespearean actors, but here's a much more exclusive group: prominent Shakespearean actors who almost became rabbis."A spiritual communicator and a theatrical communicator there's a similarity, I suppose," Hicks muses. "I'm a naturally talkative, verbal person." Ultimately, he was persuaded by passionate teachers to go the theatrical route although at acting school he also got a teaching degree, which made his father happy. (His 100-year old dad remains his biggest supporter and ally, Hicks says.)The actor's interests also veer to capoeira the Brazilian martial arts/dance form which he uses to warm up before shows, along with yoga. He spends an hour and a half getting ready, physically and vocally, for each show.His dressing room at the Armory is filled with protein bars, bananas and vitamin pills to help him get through the draining run. He also meditates, which surely serves him well when reading reviews "a terrible addiction," he confesses. "I read all of them. My partner has banned me from doing it, but I don't listen."And he takes what critics say to heart, sometimes even adjusting his performance, he says, but always paying attention. What some reviewers, including The Associated Press, suggested was a somewhat cerebral, less emotional quality to his Lear, Hicks, ever the artist, took as full-blown criticism.He also didn't like being called "well-spoken" by some "that's underhanded, isn't it?" he says and has choice words for one reviewer who called him "wispy and wiry.""'Lear' was hard," he says. "I arrived in New York, had one day off, and went straight to dress rehearsal in front of an audience. And then I was blown out of the water," he says, exaggerating just a little.When his interviewer protests that one prominent review was hardly a pan, he agrees, but says: "It was more of a rejection than an affirmation." He does acknowledge that his Leontes in "Winter's Tale" received unqualified praise.And the audience reaction in New York has been gratifying. "At the end of the day this has been a sellout," he says even at prices up to $250 per premium seat. "I musn't obsess too much."He adds: "You can feel the genuine relish here. The quality of listening is very sharp. You deliver a line, and you can hear the shimmer on it."Al Pacino came one night. "Of course, I wanted him to offer me a role in his next movie," Hicks quips. He will soon appear in his first big movie, a small role in "Snow White and the Huntsman" with Charlize Theron and Kristen Stewart. "Blink, and you'll miss me," he says.True, his is not a household name in New York, but that doesn't mean he never gets recognized. Not long ago after "Winter's Tale," he was eating dinner in a restaurant and some theatergoers came over. "We loved your Leontes," they said. "Can we buy your supper?""That," he says, "was fabulous." For a Shakespearean actor in a town that loves Shakespeare, some days aren't quite as torturous as others.Copyright 2011 Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Entertainment Conglomerates Prepare for Quarterly Earnings Reviews

NEW You are able to - Quarterly earnings season for Hollywood biggies kicks into high gear now, with CBS Corp.'s latest financial set of Tuesday beginning the parade of results.our editor recommendsCommentary: Cable Television, we have to talkCable TV dollars downward ad trend Once more, cable television advertising growth and mixed film unit trends are required to become key trends seen across entertainment conglomerates. "Depending on our inspections, we feel that national TV ad growth on cable and broadcast systems resided as much as healthy anticipation for that June quarter," stated Lazard Capital Marketplaces analyst Barton Crockett inside a recent earnings preview. "Local Tv producers experienced modest hits from vehicle production constraints. But it was mild, immaterial to conglomerates, and already a part of outlooks and models." Meanwhile, film results seem like a mixed bag. "Most galleries experienced an optimistic quarter in the box office, while home video ongoing to suffer due simply to difficult evaluations plus an underperforming release slate," Nomura analyst Michael Nathanson stated. Among key earnings business call styles, Wall Street will even search for latest executive comments how sector titans desire to use their plenty of money - with desires further dividend obligations and stock buybacks, that are on the right track for banner many years of investing. Plus, any color how the ad market and relaxation from the clients are doing may also be key for traders and experts. In the end, a powerful stock performance from the entertainment sector throughout the very first 1 / 2 of 2011, experts question just how much upside there's to Hollywood conglomerate stocks - and just how well the company will work within the coming quarters. "Using the recent outperformance of media stocks in accordance with the marketplace, valuation is less compelling," stated Credit Suisse analyst Spencer Wang. "We still see signs that underpin our secular concerns, which still provide us with pause. Included in this are decreasing TV transmission and TV viewership among grown ups 18-49, basically zero development in pay TV subs, and early signs and symptoms of cord-cutting - particularly among more youthful demos." On the better note, Nathanson stated inside a recent report that it's "too soon to fret over [a] pause in advertising strength" despite the fact that "in the last quarter, the larger market is becoming worried about the near future economic prospects around the globe in particular and also the U.S. particularly." And Crockett echoed: "We also think that September quarter trends are holding firm." He is constantly on the like entertainment stocks generally. "We have seen [the entertainment group] attaining more share of consumer spend," he stated. "We particularly like TV systems, which we have seen reaping helpful benefits from rising leverage for program costs from traditional and Internet marketers, secular rotation of ad dollars to cable program systems, and secular worldwide growth." This is a take a look at what to anticipate in the entertainment conglomerates within their earnings reviews: CBS Corp. After The new sony Corp.'s quarterly earnings report a couple of days ago, Sumner Redstone-controlled CBS Corp. opens the income parade for U.S. sector titans following the market close on Tuesday. Nathanson projects the organization to possess "probably the most upside" over Wall Street consensus estimations from its sector biggie peer group. He lately elevated his earnings forecast "brought by double-digit growth in the entertainment segment because the Netflix deal starts hitting the financials" because he authored inside a report. Plus, a lift within the profitability of CBS coverage from the NCAA males's basketball tournament minimizing film deficits will even help as will radio growth. His projection requires a 38 percent grow in operating profit to $798 million. Time Warner Wednesday morning, TW will report its second-quarter results as will cable operator Comcast, that will share the very first full quarter of financials for NBCUniversal because it acquired a big part stake within the entertainment company. For TW, Wang projects unchanged operating profit of $1.2 billion having a 7 percent gain in the TV systems unit, but a 28 percent film decline to $125 million because of what he known as "the underwhelming performance" of Eco-friendly Lantern and "the greater than expected performance from the Hangover Part II." Davenport & Co. analyst Michael Morris predictions 7 percent development in operating profit with an 8 percent revenue gain, including 12 % ad revenue growth. "Greater costs for that NCAA contract and also the Cinemax Go launch were well conveyed drags on profit growth," stated Morris. "Strong performance from the Harry Potter 7 the beginning DVD, the opportunity of a bigger than expected buyback and positive comments right into a more powerful other half are greatest potential upside surprises." Cable network rankings weakness remains his greatest concern. "Despite significant opportunities previously year in sports and original programming rankings have ongoing to say no at The best spinner's and TNT particularly," Morris stated. Viacom Sumner Redstone-controlled Viacom will show its quarterly figures on Friday. Wang needs a 57 percent decline in film operating profit to $$ 30 million, but he's elevated his film unit operating profit estimate "to mirror much better than expected profitability from the film slate," which incorporated Super 8, Thor and DreamWorks Animation's Kung Fu Panda 2. But tough year-ago evaluations - when Vital launched Iron Guy 2 and Shrek Forever After - and marketing investing about the June 29 discharge of the most recent Transformers blockbuster will affect results. For Viacom's cable television systems unit, Wang needs a lot more than 15 % operating profit growth assisted by 12 % ad revenue development in the U.S. Overall, Wang predictions Viacom's operating profit to increase 9 percent to $890 million. Wally Disney In a few days Tuesday, Wall Street is going to be anticipating the most recent financials and guidance in the biggest entertainment conglomerate by market price. Heading into earnings season, Wang known as Disney "probably the most questionable title within our world," that they rates at "outshine," because of concerns concerning the amusement parks unit's cyclical recovery, amongst other things. "However, our work indicates [quarterly] results should more demonstrably show park operating leverage as some of the one-time factors that hidden margin improvement in [the prior quarter] should reverse," Wang contended. "Searching beyond [the most recent quarter], presuming a reliable economy, we still expect a prices brought recovery in the parks." Meanwhile, Crockett knocked up his Disney earnings estimations a lot more than individuals of their peers "driven with a refinement in our undertake ESPN affiliate fee timing shifts and updates for actual movie performance." Wang needs operating profit edged up 2.9 percent within the quarter for Disney among strong gains within the amusement parks and broadcasting companies, a small film improvement of two.8 percent along with a cable systems decline. His estimate for ESPN ad growth stands at 5 percent. As well as in the film unit, Wang states Pirates from the Caribbean 4 and Cars 2 were built with a tough year-ago comparison because of Toy Story 3 and Iron Guy 2, however the year-ago period also incorporated a $70 million-plus writedown associated with The Wizard's Apprentice and Prince of Persia. News Corp. On Wednesday, August. 10, Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. will summary the income season for entertainment titans. However the actual earnings could pale compared to Wall Street's curiosity about the body gestures of chairman and Boss Murdoch and the leader, COO and deputy chairman Chase Carey, who various experts have stated may ultimately dominate the Boss title, among the ongoing phone hacking scandal and then any comments on its likely further fallout. "This quarter is forecast to determine the quickest quarterly operating earnings growth at News Corp. of history fiscal year because of the reducing from the tough Avatar [evaluations]," Nathanson stated. "However, given all of the recent occasions around News around the globe, BSkyB and also the recent $5 billion buyback announcement, these results will probably have a back chair for investor target the earnings call." If this involves quarterly financials, Nathanson predictions a 46 percent grow in operating profit. Wang sees operating profit rise 41.5 percent to $1.3 billion, including a doubling within the broadcast TV unit to $230 million along with a film improvement from $137 million to $219 million. He forecasts "sustained strength in the cable systems and film evaluations, partly offset by sluggish local television and posting" results and deficits just for-offered social networking Bebo. Within the film unit, the performance of Rio, X-Males: Top Class and Mr. Popper's Penguins will compare well using the year-ago releases Date Evening, Marmaduke and also the A-Team, however the home video selection was less strong with the kind of Stories of Narnia: Beginning Trader and Gulliver's Travels rising from the year-earlier is a result of Alvin & the Chipmunks 2 and Avatar.
