Making Curriculum Pop

From NY MAG...

Famous for his onscreen improvising, Russell Brand has to stick to the Shakespearean text in Julie Taymor's film The Tempest, where he plays the jester Trinculo. Still, an antic comedian like Brand needs some sort of outlet for his verbal flights of fancy, and so it is that when Taymor asked Brand to expound on his character during rehearsals, he responded with a dizzying, dazzling monologue delivered in character for almost five minutes. Vulture's got exclusive video of the moment, which rendered Brand's co-star Alfred Molina practically speechless. Enjoy!

Love this!  We are doing The Tempest in school (Steampunk style!) and I dare not show this to our Trinculo until AFTER our production is over!  Thanks so much for sharing!

Hey Jodi, so glad you liked this - if you remember you'll have to come back and tell us what the kids thought of it!
