"My Last Duchess" by Robert Browning (read by Ralph Cotterill)

Veteran Royal-Shakespeare-Company-trained actor, Ralph Cotterill, gives an inspired interpretation of "My Last Duchess" -- one of Robert Browning's most brilliant and intriguing poems. The poem is set during the late Italian Renaissance. The speaker (presumably the Duke of Ferrara) is giving the emissary of the family of his prospective new wife a tour of the artworks in his home. He draws a curtain to reveal a painting of a woman, explaining that it is a portrait of his former wife; he invites his guest to sit and look at the painting. As they look at the portrait of the last Duchess, the Duke describes her happy, cheerful and flirtatious nature, which had displeased him. He keeps her painting hidden behind a curtain that only he is allowed to draw back, meaning that now she only smiles for him. Throughout the poem, the Duke imparts an air of pompous pride, eventually revealing some deeper, darker feelings towards his former wife's ingenuous impropriety. He thought it beneath his dignity to try to influence her -- far easier to be rid of her (although her ultimate "end" is never stated). The poem is steeped in aristocratic hubris. Here is a Duke who likes to show off his ownership of beautiful things. Unlike the inanimate artworks that surround him, he was unable to own his former wife. So, before he gave "commands" for her (probable) demise, he commissioned a portrait of her in all her blushing beauty -- an artwork he can now show off at his discretion. At the end of the poem, in a gesture of palpable irony, the Duke diverts the emissary's attention to one of his favorite pieces: a rare statue of Neptune taming a seahorse, which Claus of Innsbruck cast in bronze for him.

Prometheus Unbound -- a reading by Ralph Cotterill

A reading from Percy Bysshe Shelley's "Prometheus Unbound". Act 3, Scene 3 finds Prometheus addressing Asia, Panthea and Ione, thanking them for their kind attendances upon him over the term of his bondage. Shelley had no intention for his play -- based upon Aeschylus' trilogy, "Prometheia" -- to be performed on the stage; it was penned as a piece for the imagination. Nevertheless, it is my belief that Shelley would not have been averse to a measure of interpretation, having himself adapted the original Aeschylus play for his own ends. The excerpt in the video speaks of hope -- perhaps a prayer for a better world; a freer, gentler, more aesthetically perceptive world. And veteran Royal Shakespeare Company actor, Ralph Cotterill, gives voice to Shelley's Prometheus with typical finesse. It is important to note that there is no definitive message in Shelley's most famous work. Melvin Solve believed that Prometheus Unbound is so highly idealised and so remote from the conditions of life that the moral lesson is not essential to the enjoyment of the piece, and is, in fact, so well disguised that the critics have differed widely as to its interpretation.

Updated: 22 Jan 2014

Bubby has spent thirty years trapped in the same small room, tricked by his mother. One day, he manages to escape, and, deranged and naive in equal measures, his adventure into modern life begins. Confined to a two-room slum for his whole life, Bubby knows only of the existence of himself and his mother, a religious freak who shares the bath, and her bed, with her son. But when Bubby's long-lost father (an alcoholic priest) returns home, and to his wife's bed, the jealous Bubby is driven to head out into the world. Abused and exploited by everyone from feminists to prison inmates, a policeman, animal lovers and the Salvation Army, Bubby, armed only with the few phrases he's learnt from his mother, has a tough entry into an inhospitable world. But others soon warm to this innocent idiot savant, and Bubby starts to find a place in the poisoned world from which he was confined. An international art house hit that won best film at the Venice Film Festival, Bad Boy Bubby is director Rolf De Heer's (The Tracker, Dingo) dark, quirky cult comedy masterpiece. Directed by Rolf de Heer. Cast: Nicholas Hope, Claire Benito, Ralph Cotterill http://www.screenshowcase.com/bad-boy-bubby.html

Filmed in the raw, and on the run - global artist Tracey Moffatt's first film foray into the darkened streets of old Sydney town follows a trio of young Aboriginal women negotiating life's opportunities in the big nA city. We hear a strong clear female morality and narrative voice revealing the historically subjugated perspective of Aboriginal women. For perhaps the first time on Australian film, this drama construction explores and represents female urban Aboriginal living priorities, social bonds, differences and dangers at the close of the twentieth century under the eugenic white-Australia regime. Set in Sydney's inner Kings Cross and Redfern,the film could be viewed as a prequel to the Redfern_Now series - except for the c.1788 quotes bracketing the contemporary narrative from nA first contact histories. Thanx Tracey. Recorded in around Sydney Australia in 1986-7. Featuring the following players/actors - Gayle Mabo Cheryl Pitt Janelle Court Fiona George Lindsay McCorrmack Mykal Sobey Lindsay Trott Danela Girinelli Sergio Scudery Kristina Nehm Michael Johnson Monica Stevens John Samah Rosemary Meagher Norbert Mullholland Ralph Cotterill with Michael Riley listed as Trainee.
