Marc Singer, "Taming of the Shrew", 1976 - actor and costume!

[jocksnsocks2002]

I am thankful to my parents who very early introduced me to the library, and from there, to the classics of literature. Shakespeare has always been a favourite, and I recently discovered this clip (the full play is likewise available through youtube) from a 1976 performance of "Taming of the Shrew". Petruchio is played by Marc Singer. For those of you who are wondering why I have posted this, you need only watch for a few minutes to discover the sculpted body AND the codpiece! As one wag describes it, "clean porn". Enjoy the theatrics!

Holy Smokes! That was the hottest Shakespeare I’ve ever seen. Marc singer does an admirable job filling out those tights. He’d look amazing in a jock.

Well DAMN!!! I remember seeing this when I was 13 or 14. By God, he looked great in those tights and codpiece.

Here's another favorite of mine, Jan-Michael Vincent in 1973's The World's Greatest Athlete. He made my cock stiffen when he was on-screen in
his loin cloth...

Bravo!

What an amazing performance.

(and that body and bulge is incredible!)

Shakespeare’s plays are riddled with eroticism and bawdy humour; even the tragedies. Just read the Drunken Porter scene in ‘Macbeth‘ which comes straight after the murder of King Duncan. It’s all about how alcohol makes you unable to get hard, even if you desperately want to!
in this clip of Kate looking Petruchio up and down, there’s latent, or even visible, homo-eroticism, particularly if it’s played by an all male cast. in Shakespeare’s day there was a ban on women being actors, therefore boys/young men played the female role. Not only is there homo-eroticism there, there could be, interpreted criticism of paedophilia, if a director is bold/brave enough. This could be particularly highlightEd in a play like The Taming of the Shrew, where it’s all about male privilege and assumed power that’s actually turned on its head.
Shakespeare also wrote a series of sonnets now titled ‘The Fair Youth’ sonnets. He is writing the praise of one particular young man whose identity is open to speculation, as is whether Shakespeare was courting him. Read Sonnet 20, where the opening line starts, ‘A woman’s face with nature’s own hand painted’, then goes on to describe, ‘the master-mistress of my passion’ in the second line and ends with the rhyming couple, ‘But since she (nature) pricked thee out for women’s pleasure/Mine be thy love and they love’s use their treasure.’ It can be argued that it is about homosexual desire!
I bet some of you are now wishing that you’d paid more attention to your English lessons when you studied Shakespeare!
Here ends today’s English lesson.

GGGRRR...I have crushed on Marc Singer since first aware of him in a tear jerker TV movie "Something For Joey" in 1977 then later in '84 in the TV series "V", and yet again in the "01 & '02 series "Beastmaster". Hs body was epically beautiful, like a classic Greek statue. This clip showes hin as a damn good actor, VERY effective in condpiece for Shakespeare! MMMMMM!
