I seem to remember (the details are hazy; I might be thinking of the wrong play, or the wrong soliliquy, but you never know) hearing about a film adaptation of Richard III in which the beginning speech is done while Richard is taking a piss. Would anyone happen to know which one this is (the McKellen one is the only one that I think it could be) or if I'm totally wrong altogether?

It's the Ian McKellan one, and only part of the speech is done in the men's room. The opening is actualy addressing a large group, then it cuts suddenly to him talking in an aside as he stand in front of a urinal.

It would be hard to give the WHOLE speech while peeing, unless you have freakish bladder capacity. [Big Grin]
