At the Lyttelton in a last minute house seat at £ 10!
Eventful evening. Realised that David Hare is a fellow member of the 'secret free parking place' club in Waterloo. Caught Miranda Richardson running very late for Every Good Boy Deserves Favour but she made it in time. I laughed heartily at the latercomers monitor while I had a snack before my show. Jason Hughes was in the Benugo bar at the BFI.
Where do I begin with this one? Wonderful show and such a light touch from Mr Flannery. Performances were fantastic. I suppose I can see a few things that might adjust in the next few days as this was the first preview but I loved every moment. Set worked magnificently well too and all this for £10.I suppose I should make special mention of the unendingly talented Mr Kinnear who sang, danced and dazzled with his wit and timing. I have longed to see Mr Hinds on the stage and he was everything I'd hoped he'd be. Dockers was like liquid porcelain with a double edge of sharp and heartbreaking delivery, Tim McMullan was gloriously funny & salacious.
A potentially grim piece glided across the 2 hours with ease and joy. I hope the cast had as much fun as I did.
SPOILER:-
I have spotted a trend:- Rory Kinnear + National Theatre = long haired wig in attempt to disguise himself from his mother.
Since I saw this in preview, here is a page of rehearsal shots to be going on with(click to enlarge) but I have since added some production shots. I should add some of the glowing reviews too.WOS
