we begin with shakespeare 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 en

but we know from shakespeare's date. -- what we know from shakespeare's day. it took a long time. we had to figure a way to mount to productions. elizabethan spent their money on what they were on their backs. -- wore on their backs. >> what was your term in production? >> original playing practices. there should be not only an intellectual inquiry into how the plays might have originally ,een played and what conditions but there should be a laboratory where you can explore with a live audience. he's that the last 25 years of his life the -- building the globe theatre and died in 1993. i became artistic director in 1995. his thinking about the globe was the inspiration for me. he demanded three things -- very, there'll the role -- very, research, and he thought -- he fought very hard for the building to be thatched. all kinds of old building technique. >> the premise would be we were more inside of shakespeare's head if we did that? more about thern reason he broke the plays and the way he wrote them. -- he wrote the plays and the way he wrote them. we would be able to look at the

i found it easiest to write on shakespeare. loved reading on the plays and performing them at cambridge. i thought i would do a thesis, a doctoral thesis on shakespeare and quietly group -- in the corner of a college somewhere. as one of my contemporaries has become the greatest shakespearean scholar in the world, jonathan bates. >> talk about the part -- malvolio? am i saying that right? >> it is said that american southern english is closer to shakespearean english. >> malvolio means ill will. there is an character called benvolio that means it means he is well disposed. there is an anagram at connection because it is close to olivia. malvolio. he is the steward to olivia because she is in morning. her father and brother died. she has the steward, malvolio. she has an uncle, toby, who is a drinker. she has a chambermaid who is very charming. she has a fool that tells a thing she does not like to hear, like king lear had. since, seven years you wear a veil and not look at the face of man. a shipwreck happens with a twin brothe

tavis: what do you love about shakespeare?very actor who is a shakespeare fan has their own rationale for what it is they love about his writing. extraordinary,s but his observations of human , i do not such that know of anyone else who has been able to express the full range of what is to be a human being. , always think in many ways when you are playing a shakespearean role, the role is playing you. withl that very strongly certain shakespearean characters. the challenges are there. you have to be in shape, it requires stamina and it requires -- it is an athletic event. i mentioned richard the third earlier. , you have character to find something in their humanity to connect to. >> richard the third has a connection with the audience. -- thes directly audience gets charmed by him. shakespeare allows this villainous character to woo the audience along with the characters on the stage. it is a great exercise in manipulation. that she manipulates the audience and he does it with great relish. audienceipulates the and he does it

you only find that in shakespeare and dickens. think you can almost make that statement. >> one of the things they have in common is a brilliance portraying lowlife. think about shakespeare, he is incredibly good at soldiers getting drunk in pubs and prostitutes. if you look at the lowlife of dickens and shakespeare, there is an enormous meeting point. >> take a character like mr. dick. he seems to have some kind of undiagnosable mental illness. whenever he sits down to write a memorial to parliament explaining details of his inheritance gone awry, he says the memory of charles i's head drifts into his writing. where does that come from? the word charles dickens is in there. it is beautiful, hallucinatory. it is a miracle of the imagination. >> if you want to demur from the adulation for dickens, what would you most say? >> he could not describe women. he was a closet racist. there were times -- as his daughter said, my father was a very wicked man. none of that matters at all. the generosity and the warmth of the writing can exti

unlike shakespeare where you must allow the character to penetrate into your soul as it were. with dickens you have to hang on to the ears of someone if you're going play them-- as i've done. it's exhilarate bug you need to be in good shape to do it. >> rose: you have written that dick seasons still becoming dickens, robert. what did you mean? >> well, what i mean is that the shade of dick seasons dickens in our minds the way we understand dickens is changing. i said earlier that he used the page like a distorting mirror but he's also like a distorting mirror we hold up to our own concerns so at the moment, for instance, riots in london, that was in barnaby. we think about bankers "little dorrit." we think about riches being bestowed on people who don't deserve them. that, of course is "great expectations." if we look for contemporary parallels and echo we find them in dickens. >> rose: you quote in the epigram of "becoming dickens" a line from oscar wilde which says "one's real life is so often the life that one does not lead. ." why did you choose that? >> well, because dick

. >> i was charged with first-degree murder of my friend abraham shakespeare.was a florida lottery winner and they said that i siphoned off his money and killed him, and i didn't do that. i don't like that and i'm not going to be a part of that. they're saying that i shot him twice in the chest and that he died and that i buried him and that i hid his death. >> moore says she's anything but a cold-blooded killer. >> i'm like a big kid. i like disney and mickey mouse and tinkerbell and stuff. i would love a world where i lived at walt disney world all day. >> but for the past eight months, moore has been living in a very different world, the jail's female confinement unit, where she is held in her cell away from other inmates, due in part to the intense media coverage of her case. >> because she's in the news and because of her charges. if you put her back in a pod, you don't know how another inmate is going to react to what she is allegedly accused of. so for her own safety, it's better that she's back here. >> moore has collected some of the many newspaper rep

by the page because he had a terrific curiosity about the world around him and he loved shakespeareand he will also tell endless stories. so for me edison only that much different. to me john brown s someone who it was his words when he was in prison and when people come reprinting his words, thinking how silly the scores words were and yet they shot around the world and emerson said it the john brown speech was second only to the gettysburg address ending the greatest american speech. sometimes historical actors themselves or lincoln really lives through the the date of the gettysburg address. so the discourse is always there at least in some degree as writers can with writers with great genius it's more apprehensive it seems to me in their absorption of all these other discourses he had everything from the sensationalism to the chronology to the women's issues, gender issues and kind of sort emerson once said it is the one controversy in the entire realm of experience in the particular work of genius she said what shakespeare would do is run through the scraps of the waste and he

if somebody didn't know the names of five shakespeare plays and couldn't talk about shakespeare they'd be humiliated to admit it. but if they don't know what exponential growth is they would say "oh, that's a technical subject of mathematics." so we have a culture that treats mathematics as something that's okay not to know. that only geeks know. they don't have that culture in much of asia where they do much better. and it's a broad cultural thing that goes to an attitude towards science and mathematics. >> rose: nancy gibbs and larry summers when we continue. captioning sponsored by rose communications from our studios in new york city, this is charlie rose. >> rose: "time" magazine has named its person of the year for 2013 it is the individual-- who in the words of time's editors-- has most influenced the news of our lives for good or ill. their choice is pope francis. in his first nine months as pontiff, francis has reshaped the image of the church draw platally. as "time" magazine nancy gibbs writes "for pulling the papacy out of the palaces and into the streets and confronting it
