ROBERT FALCON SCOTT’S FINAL LETTER TO HIS WIFE as read by Benedict Cumberbatch at Freemasons Hall for Letters Live, 13 March 2016

“To my widow,

Dearest Darling – we are in a very tight corner and I have doubts of pulling through – In our short lunch hours I take advantage of a very small measure of warmth to write letters preparatory to a possible end – the first is naturally to you on whom my thought mostly dwell waking or sleeping – if anything happens to me I shall like you to know how much you have meant to me and that pleasant recollections are with me as I depart.

I should like you to take what comfort you can from these facts also – I shall not have suffered any pain but leave the world fresh from harness and full of good health and vigour – this is dictated already, when provisions come to an end we simply stop where we are within easy distance of another depot.

Therefore you must not imagine a great tragedy — we are very anxious of course and have been for weeks but in splendid physical condition and our appetites compensate for all discomfort. The cold is biting and sometimes angering but here again the hot food which drives it forth is so wonderfully enjoyable that we would scarcely be without it.

We have gone down hill a good deal since I wrote the above. Poor Titus Oates has gone — he was in a bad state — the rest of us keep going and imagine we have a chance to get through but the cold weather doesn’t let up at all – we are now only 20 miles from a depot but we have very little food or fuel.

Well dear heart I want you to take the whole thing very sensibly as I am sure you will — the boy will be your comfort. I had looked forward to helping you to bring him up but it is a satisfaction to feel that he is safe with you. I think both he and you ought to be specially looked after by the country for which after all we have given our lives with something of spirit which makes for example — I am writing letters on this point in the end of this book after this. Will you send them to their various destinations?

I must write a little letter for the boy if time can be found to be read when he grows up — dearest that you know I cherish no sentimental rubbish about re marriage — when the right man comes to help you in life you ought to be your happy self again.

I hope I shall be a good memory certainly the end is nothing for you to be ashamed of and I like to think that the boy will have a good start in parentage of which he may be proud. Dear it is not easy to write because of the cold — 70 degrees below zero and nothing but the shelter of our tent.

You know I have loved you, you know my thoughts must have constantly dwelt on you and oh dear me you must know that quite the worst aspect of this situation is the thought that I shall not see you again. The inevitable must be faced — you urged me to be leader of this party and I know you felt it would be dangerous — I’ve taken my place throughout, haven’t I?

God bless you my own darling I shall try and write more later — I go on across the back pages. Since writing the above we have got to within 11 miles of our depot with one hot meal and two days’ cold food and we should have got through but have been held for four days by a frightful storm — I think the best chance has gone. We have decided not to kill ourselves but to fight it to the last for that depot but in the fighting there is a painless end so don’t worry.

I have written letters on odd pages of this book — will you manage to get them sent? You see I am anxious for you and the boy’s future — make the boy interested in natural history if you can, it is better than games — they encourage it at some schools — I know you will keep him out in the open air — try and make him believe in a God, it is comforting.

Oh my dear my dear what dreams I have had of his future and yet oh my girl I know you will face it stoically — your portrait and the boy’s will be found in my breast and the one in the little red Morocco case given by Lady Baxter. There is a piece of the Union flag I put up at the South Pole in my private kit bag together with Amundsen’s black flag and other trifles — give a small piece of the Union flag to the King and a small piece to Queen Alexandra and keep the rest a poor trophy for you!

What lots and lots I could tell you of this journey. How much better it has been than lounging in comfort at home — what tales you would have for the boy but oh what a price to pay — to forfeit the sight of your dear dear face.

Dear you will be good to the old mother. I write her a little line in this book. Also keep in with Ettie and the others — oh but you’ll put on a strong face for the world — only don’t be too proud to accept help for the boy’s sake — he ought to have a fine career and do something in the world.

I haven’t time to write to Sir Clements — tell him I thought much of him and never regretted him putting me in command of the Discovery.”

В то время, как в Лондоне проходят "Живые письма", Бенедикт проводит время на матче между Англией и Уэльсом.
В королевской ложе.

транскрипт благодарственной речи и немного гифок

„This is fantastic. I’m so thrilled to get this award. The What’s on Stage Award.

It means so much for many, many, many reasons and I wish I was there tonight but sadly I’m filming but…I can’t express you how much this means to me.

I’ve got a few people to thank first before the main ’Thank you’, which is YOU. The people who voted for this. But first of all my director, the brilliant, beautiful, talented, smart as hell and just ridiculously funny and good company director that is Lyndsey Turner, whose work I think is the defining rack of the generation. I’m biased but there you go. I think she’s wonderful, a dear friend and a fantastic collaborator. Supported by the amazing Sonia Friedman, a pal, a strong woman, a brilliant producer, smart…somebody who feels everything that everybody in productions go through and…her and all her team, actually just wonderful, I salute you tonight and thank you, thank you, thank you…a million thank you-s. Our wonderful backstage team headed by the brilliant Richard Claydon, all the ASMs and SMs , just a brilliant, brilliant group of people to work with every night and bring you the show that we were doing on Es Devlin’s ridiculously extraordinary, stunning, beautiful, mad set. I mean a real work of art and a scary home for young Hamlet to grow up in and even more terrifying was the seams everyone’s stories and nights unfold.

It was beautifully, beautifully lit by Jane, Jane Cox, painterly doesn’t really begin to describe it. It was other wordly in its beauty. Oh gosh! What else? The brilliant video by Luke Halls . We had some extraordinary music from Jon Hopkins. Brilliant sound from Chris Shutts and we were all beautifully moved around by Larbi, our wonderful choreographer. Even mentioning these people’s names makes me realise what an epic journey it was. It was the most extraordinary adventure and I don’t think I’ve ever been, I don’t think I ever will be in a production that is, that was quite as ambitious to bring a play ,that’s 400 years old, to life again, in a way that was fresh, vital and despite controversy I felt, was clear to the intentions of the original, I hope from the playwright’s point of view, to open the mind of a man to an audience, and in extraordinary tragedy, that takes in everything from human condition to a rollicking good thriller to moments of high comedy and fast to the depths of despair. And it was a wonderful, wonderful thing to perform to you every night and twice on Saturdays and some weekend, weekday matinees I mean. One of our main reasons for bringing it to the Barbican, which I have to thank for being a fantastic host, was just to have the breadth and depth and space really to give it to as many people as possible. And also with NT Live again to give an idea of what theatre can still do, which is be accessible, which is entertain and enthral even though it’s writing from 400 years ago, if albeit the best writing we’ve ever had in 400 years.

So I want to thank William Shakespeare as well, we owe him a big debt of gratitude.

That’s him, now he’s just reversing a car. He’s not such a good driver these days. His eyesight’s a bit shoddy. But don’t tell him I said that. He’s very touchy about his driving J

But apart from that he’s a very good playwright and it was…for any actor the kind of idea of being able to play Hamlet let alone with this sort of reproduction and with the extraordinary cast, some of whom are nominated tonight and I don’t know which of you, because i’m not there, are there, but Sian and Anastacia and Jim and Kobna, I salute you in your categories and love you so much but just everyone in that cast, huge cast of ridiculously dedicated people. Men in their 60’s doing some pretty complex dance manoeuvres and slow motion. The most extraordinary fight scenes, just scenery being changed by people who could stand up and give you the most devastating Hamlet and will probably do in the future. The amount of effort everyone put in on every level that cast and how loyal they were , what friends I’ve made and how I share all of this with you, cannot be understated. I really do. I love you and I miss you all and i miss it and I miss YOU. The people who voted for this!

The exprerience of a lifetime just topped by the most ridiculously patient, enthralled, enthusiastic, energetic crowd who came to see this play. Loyal to a default really.

I mean even if you came from Australia and you got an actor who was scurrying away to a car to collapse after two shows but not before putting a baby to sleep after his night feed. You know…you help me through weird moments at the beginning of the play with some sort of unwelcomely, early comments on it and anything else that happened it was just small fry compared to the utter joy, expansive joy that the performing of that play for you was. It really was very special. And for you to do this is as well! You are spoiling me! You really are. I’m gonna stop going on now but just in the words of Nat King Cole as you would’ve heared in Nature Boy who played in the play: „The greatest thing you’ll every learn is just to love and be loved in return” and I feel very loved tonight and I return the love to you in gratitude. Thank you so much, God bless and good night!
