Their most recent endeavor of The Immortal Bard's "This Fellow's of Exceeding Honesty" Speech, in which Darryl Maximilian Robinson shares a brief rendering of the title role in William Shakespeare's "Othello," may be of interest to not only fans of poetry and classic drama, but of historic paintings and architecture in Downtown Los Angeles.

The two ESC Theatre Artists selected a shoot location that is a renowned historic national landmark.

Recorded Monday Afternoon November 10, 2025 on 3rd Street at the northeast side entrance of the famed Bradbury Building on Broadway ( which from its front entrance at the intersection sits directly across from the Silent Screen Age movie palace The Million Dollar Theatre, and from its side entrance faces a marvelous, massive and multiple-story tall mural painting of the late, great Oscar-winning and Tony Award-nominated Mexican-American stage and screen actor Anthony Quinn in his acclaimed and unforgettable role as "Zorba, the Greek" ) this new theatrical offering by Mr. Robinson and Mr. Belrose features two different takes of the "Othello" Speech and a preview video shot same day.
