this evening and talk to one of the great shakespeare actors mark rylance who is performing in richard iii and 12th night. >> well, it comes to the top of my head immediately and the, may not be the deepest answer but you just can't, you will never get to the bottom of a sense of humor, the sense of wit and humor, it is well-known that one of the great things he is really good at doing is marrying opposites juxtaposing sound, cold, fire, these things that romeo says at one point but juxtaposing tragedy and comedy and his deep sense of humor, even the most tragic moments still staggers me, still staggers me, i generally don't find it myself i find it with the audience. >> rose: continuing with shakespeare this evening we talk to stephen fry who is also in richard the third and 27th night. >> we know in 1602 when it was performed indoors, in fact, in the middle temple, one of the legal halls, medieval halls that the lawyers used, and we know what the hall looks like because it hasn't changed to this day and we know, of course, that this happened a lot, because english winter is pretty famous
