A final friday fidget, inspired by @beatricecawood 's mention of seeing this little move at the Barbican...

Is it just me, or does he look like a little abandoned kitten being nibbled by fleas in that GIF?

Terrible video, but so much hand speaking.

I wonder if this is the length they will go with for Betrayal?

Not Really A Fidget But Work With Me On This, OK?

Watch the body language at the end #HowVeryEndeavour 🤦‍♀️

More glimpses of Shaun from the Barbican reading

It’s true. From broken angel to calculating devil. It’s truly thrilling.

How can one person have photos taken in the same pose, from the same angle, in almost the same outfit, but just look so different!

It's not just the hair & beard either, his whole demeanor changes from one role to another.

So talented.

A brief review of Modern Nature at the Barbican last night.

The event was just over an hour and a half and all the performers stayed on stage throughout. I was in the third row so had a really good view of the stage (and… umm… my ‘subject of interest’). The performance was a really effective and emotional mix of readings, music, film and photography.

The performers shared the readings but I’d say Shaun definitely did a higher proportion overall. Sadly (for me at least) he performed in his RO accent rather than his natural scouse. It worked for the performance but I love hearing his natural accent and was really hoping he would use it for this.

He really ‘performed’ his readings compared to the others (no criticism of anyone, they were all brilliant) - he used his hands and face really expressively. He also laughed and responded to other things happening on stage throughout.

The show opened with a musical piece followed by a short film and reading by Tilda Swinton. The rest of the performance was on stage, other than a short recorded piece by Maxine Peake at the end.

As the evening progressed the content was far more difficult to hear - Jarman talking about how many friends had died, about discrimination against gay people, about his own deteriorating health - it made me cry (which is no mean feat… I’m not a cryer in general!). Shaun seemed emotional as some parts too both as he was reading and when he was listening to the music.

Also.. fun fact.. the Guildhall School of Drama where Evans did his degree is next door to the Barbican so I expect he’s performed there during his student days and knows it well.. (crappy photo of Guildhall below…)

And for those who enjoy the shallow end of the pool:

Evans looked to be in his UIKY press interview outfit - ie this navy velvety number with light blue shirt (buttoned up…) and a navy v neck sweater (possibly the HIA ‘rehearsal vest’, possibly a sweater).

So at least three layers.. and I’m betting on another under the shirt..

Socks were black and apparently not the usual hiking style (this detail is for you @season-77 😂) - although maybe I wasn’t close enough for this detail.

The performers stood for much of the time, although they did sit at some points. Evans had his usual stance with hands firmly in pockets other than when he got more animated for some of the readings.

When he sat there were some OT style fidget moments which definitely increased the longer the performance went on. At one point I thought he was going to lose his mic but he managed to recover it in time 😂

I did spot him leaving - with his backpack. He was with another one of the readers and chatting and I didn’t try to speak to him. But it was great to go and to see him and the overall performance I really hope he does more like this..

Some very blurry pics (sorry… I was trying to be discrete - for once 😂)
