The Shaw Festival Review: One Man, Two Guvnors By Ross One can’t help but be happily drawn into the infectious fun emanating from Shaw Festival‘s main stage, even before the show begins. A six-person Skiffle Band is entertaining us with a side-wink brilliance, easing us into the 1960s,…

i wonder what the other actors would do if an actor whose character is meant to be dead sneezes or smth. like i saw romeo and juliet yesterday (which was amazing btw) and i was thinking to myself on the way home “ok but what would people do if rachel zegler sneezed while she was lying there before juliet wakes back up” like would everyone else just try to ignore it or make some kind of joke or comment or smth? i wonder if anyone ever brings that up in rehearsal, what to do if something happens in a scene that just ruins the illusion or whatever, bc in filmed things like tv and movies you can obviously just redo the take but live theater is live, you can’t cut it and go again. although when i saw “one man two guvnors” years ago on their final performance, there’s a bit where the main character asks if anybody has anything to eat and people from the audience started handing stuff up toward the stage and the actor had to wait for everyone to stop laughing and said “ok look i have a plane to catch we can’t do this all night, we’re gonna go back to that line and nobody hand me food again” like it was funny but not quite the same thing as somebody pretending to be dead having to sneeze

Set design for One Man, Two Guvnors pier confession scene
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This set included a lot of historical research as I made the decision to place this scene on the Brighton West Pier to emphasise that this play is set in the 60s and thus the characters can use this pier as it hasn’t burned down yet. I ended up copying the exact same fence design from the pier as well as the fully functional lampposts.

Snatch Title sequence analysis
Released in 2000 directed by Guy Richie, snatch is a comedy crime drama film that is cast and set around the criminal underworld of London. The film features two main plots that intertwine with each other. One plot features the search for an 86-carat stolen diamond, while the other features a story line about unlicensed boxing matches with bets with the bookies and a criminal boss who threatens severe violence if the fights do not go in his favour due to the last-minute replacement of a fighter with a gypsy traveller bare knuckle boxing champion. Snatch runs as a sequel by Guy Richie to a previous film called Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (Staring Lenny Mclean AKA ‘The Guvnor’ who was and still is recognised as Britain’s Hardest Man). Guy Richie has a history with creating magnificent comedy crime drama films and Snatch is not one to disappoint with a substantial amount of his artistic intention behind the film being solely reflected in the iconic title sequence.
To begin with, the title sequence is first begun through the tail end of the previous robbery scene showing a section where they are removing their disguises in the back of a van. Revealed after through the title sequence ‘Franky Four Fingers’ takes out the diamond and brings it close to his eye to analyse the carat and purity of the stone, this is the key frame that sets up the beginning of the tile sequence. A crash zoom follows at which point the main title appears ‘SNATCH’ on the diamond as the whole frame rotates almost like a display in a jewellery store, behind this rotating frame a cross fade emerges behind almost unnoticed as it matches perfectly to the positioning in the previous frame, and this is used as the introduction for the next character. Zooming out the next character is revealed, showing the same interest in the diamond as the previous character, but this time in a more ‘Professional setting’ which makes the audience question the origin of the diamond and the story line for the film. From this a slight zoom occurs for a freeze frame of a comic style overlay to the character with the titles appearing beside to reveal his identity ‘COUSIN AVI’, once established the scene then continues reverting back to the natural film style to make way for the transition for the reveal of the next character through a mask transition hidden in the action of placing the diamond in the safe and the following of black. Through what appears to be crabbing the camera then moves to ‘the other side of the safe’, where the next character interacts pulling money from it, and in the same style is introduced through a slight crash zoom freeze frame with the switch to a comic style overlay with the titles appearing as their name ‘SOL’ then continuing to then pave the way for the next character introduction.
The same styled frames of character introduction carry on throughout the whole title sequence with a series of camera angles and match in action shots while still preserving the main DNA of previous clips. This happens for the introduction of the other characters: Franky Four Fingers, Mickey, Vinney, Turkish, Gorgeous George, Tommy, Bullet Tooth Tony, Boris the Blade, Doug the Head and Brick Top. This all happens before rotating (literally) back to the diamond and the opening scene. However, what makes this title sequence of interest is not the wide variety of media techniques used, but the placement of each clip in a sequence with a clear beginning and end to encapsulate the whole story that is played out in the film in the first 2 minutes of the film (However, this is only really noticed after a second viewing). Nonetheless, what is also so incredible about this tile sequence is that it creates a link between each of the characters to the diamond as it almost presenting it as a great way and everything happening inside of it as it spirals into it to begin with and out the end with.
In My opinion this makes this title sequence very artistic in its intentions from Guy Richie and unique as I have not really seen anything done like it before.

Happy Birthday to Oliver Chris!
This is strange. Wiki says mr. Chris was born at 2 November, but according to IMDb it is 7 November. Anyway, a very happy birthday to this wonderful actor!
We were lucky to see Oliver a lot this year.
