[HPforGrownups] Bellatrix as Richard III

[Tim Regan (Intl Vendor)]

Hi All,

<Mandy>Bellatrix betraying Harry Potter would be a triumph equal only to
Richard III's seduction of Lady Anne in Shakespeare!  A challenge worthy
of our Ms. Lestrange.</Mandy>

 <Carol>This is totally off-topic but I had to respond: Lady Anne
Neville was  Richard III's first cousin once removed and they grew up in
the same  household. There is evidence that they loved each other deeply
and he  was devastated by her death. Shakespeare's "history" plays are
based   on the kinds of biased sources that Eustace-Scrubb recently
described,  further distorted by a dramatic license that has Richard
fighting in a   battle that occurred when he was eight years old.
</Carol> 
 
Did anyone else enjoy Fiona Shaw playing Richard II in the Deborah
Warner / John Wyver production of Shakespeare's play? If she wasn't
already Aunt Petunia, I'd have liked to see her play Bellatrix.
