"...a demolished beauty she bore quite regally."
The full description of Marielle made me think of the puppet "Madame".

Lear:
The bow is bent and drawn. Make from the shaft.
Kent:
Let it fall rather, though the fork invade
The region of my heart. Be Kent unmannerly
When Lear is mad. What wouldst thou do, old man?

Henry VIII:
Come, come, my lord, you’d spare your spoons!
(V.2.200)
An expression I was unfamiliar with.
In Tudor and early Stuart England, Apostle Spoons (ornate silver spoons with a small figure of one of the twelve apostles on the handle) were traditional christening gifts from godparents.
Come, come, my lord, you’d spare your spoons!

I've been reading along to the Stratford Festival's 2019 production of Henry VIII, with Jonathan Goad playing Henry VIII as a kind of rock star and Rod Beattie as a Hugh Hefner-like Cardinal Wolsey.

Catching up again today. Busy work season.
IV.2 by RSC was one of the best performances I've seen. Rosie Sheehy as King John.

The 2019 Royal Shakespeare Company production I'm watching has a groovy 1960s Mod vibe. King John is portrayed as a woman by a woman, but referred to as a man.
So far...fun. We'll see.

Unfortunately, I missed a week of reading/watching. The compensation was watching Act 4, Scene 4 of the RSC production straight through—some of the best Shakespeare I've seen.
