Does this mean Richard starts rehearsals in a week? I'm positive he's been working on this for a while in any case, aren't you? I have so many questions for Yael Farber and for Richard about the "re-imagining" of this play.
"icy beautiful start block." No idea what that means but it sounds intriguing.
ReplyDeleteI wondered why I had so many more visits than usual to my blog today. Thanks Serv for the link to this post. I wonder about that too, "icy" and "beautiful" two words I don't relate with the Crucible. I'm hopeful she will tweet regularly as rehearsals start.
DeleteExciting times as The Crucible at The Old Vic begins rehearsals! I so wish that I could experience Richard Armitage portraying John Proctor! But the whole flying thing and other bills needing to be paid are some hiccups. So my hubby and I sent a donation to the Old Vic, instead.
ReplyDeleteThat was so generous of you and your husband to donate Grati. I also wish I could go and see Richard as John Proctor. Keep hoping airfares go way down for September, but only a dream. Looking forward to reports from those that have tickets.
DeleteThank you for sharing. I have the feeling that this role will demand a great deal of Armitage. And I don't only mean the topic itself. I know, that will take a while but I'm curious about the first critics.
ReplyDeleteHello Miss Emms - I agree it will demand much, but in a good way. I think he want to be challenged.This is what he's talked about for a long while now. I admire his bravery in doing this, knowing how all the critics have him in their sights. .
DeleteI think he will love it really because he wants to get a really meaty role to show how good his acting really is and there is nothing like a drama for that.
ReplyDeleteI agree Peggy, think he will love it, he's doing what he wants to do. Good for him.
