Kenneth Branagh Craft Notebook
RSC Classical Method vs. Buffoonery"Fascinating subject to play... He never allows himself to doubt his own genius for even a nanosecond."
The Paradox of Conviction
Branagh famously stated that playing a self-absorbed character becomes compelling when the narcissist possesses genuine theatrical technique. By speaking with the diaphragmatic resonance of Henry V or Hamlet, Lockhart makes his absurd claims sound momentarily plausible to gullible observers.
Physicality & Smile Choreography
Notice the posture: an exaggerated rib-cage flare, chin tilted 15 degrees skyward to catch ambient chandeliers, and an instantaneous switch into an unblinking, enamel-exposing smile the instant any audience looks his direction.
