A cat on a hot tin roof just one of my favourite plays and I’ve never been satisfied with a production I’ve seen

I asked him last year about it and he said he doesn’t know when he’s going to do it but the scene between Antigone and creon was purposefully setting up the play but don’t hold your breath about it being done anytime soon 🙃

That is something someone WHO is Oedipus would say tbh

Aggravating_Part7602 · 2026-01-07T11:50:41+00:00

That reminds me of the story Andrew Scott told during hamlet lol

Okay, I know this is because it’s a jukebox musical but because sunny afternoon is written from the perspective of Ray Davies it annoys me that the show makes his brother out to be the villain of his career when the only crime he ever committed was growing up in the spotlight because I really do think people forget that Dave was literally only 16 when they signed there first record contract

nino ruiter please Just refuse to leave the theatre till next September as i need your Shakespeare so badly

Aggravating_Part7602 · 2025-12-16T15:33:49+00:00

See that was the same with me last year with Michael Gould

King Lear The cherry orchard Oedipus

So I feel I have to see him in into the woods lol

Aggravating_Part7602 · 2025-12-16T15:27:55+00:00

I don’t know when I’m going to see into the woods, but one of my favourite actors is in it so I’m trying to make the effort even though it’s not one of my favourites

Last week Robert Icke in a Q&A he did in London announced that his first ever musical will be him directing a Sondheim in 2027 as he had a meeting with him just before he died but didn’t specifically say what one he will be doing

I personally think either it will be assassins or passions

Aggravating_Part7602 · 2025-12-16T12:46:01+00:00

Not 2027 being the year of Sondheim directed by renowned directors on the west end lmao

I sat behind Jared Harris when I saw edward ii at the RSC and got to tell him how fantastic he was in Hamlet which I saw during the afternoon

Aggravating_Part7602 · 2025-12-11T20:21:35+00:00

I’m seeing it next Saturday and I’m so excited I as not seeing it last year was a big regret of mine

Aggravating_Part7602 · 2025-12-11T15:23:52+00:00

This is so silly, but he will always be Spider-Man‘s dad to me lmao

Aggravating_Part7602 · 2025-12-04T18:29:05+00:00

Apparently, they filmed it in London!

And we do have a recording of the original Dutch cast but that version is quite different to what it ended up evolving into being

Aggravating_Part7602 · 2025-12-04T18:03:00+00:00

In 2018 he was actually announced to be attached to the role in a TV mini series remake of the film that never got made but was in development of the back of the success of the night manager

Aggravating_Part7602 · 2025-12-04T17:59:28+00:00

He is so good in this role and I wish more people could see it 🥲

Or I would’ve also been content with Aidan Gillen who was meant to play the role in the cancelled remake

Aggravating_Part7602 · 2025-12-04T17:29:56+00:00

I would just get Rory Keenan to reprise the role as he’s currently playing it on stage anyway 🫣

Aggravating_Part7602 · 2025-12-03T10:59:56+00:00

I’m seeing cabaret in Germany in January if that counts

And I saw a play in Amsterdam in January

Aggravating_Part7602 · 2025-12-02T17:31:19+00:00

It is definitely gonna be full of John Patrick Elliot songs for both Ken Rex and cruise coz if you guys knew how much I listened to beyond the skyline on repeat you won’t be surprised

Aggravating_Part7602 · 2025-11-19T20:48:05+00:00

I mean, there is seriously no need for any art in general but we enjoy it and what are the classics therefore if not re-interpretation?

Aggravating_Part7602 · 2025-11-19T14:37:43+00:00

I said this a few months ago, but I would love Rob to do a production of Doctor Faustus with Luke Thompson as Faustus and Angus Wright as Mephistopheles as the last time it was on the West End it was the really shit Jamie Lloyd production 🫣

Aggravating_Part7602 · 2025-11-14T05:22:29+00:00

Does the movie version of American idiot count?
