I find these very awkward just cos there no smile coming from both of them at all which make me think something isn't right with recent events that happen also something defo brewing cos here it look like they undercomforable and doesn't look like neither Arms are around each other neither. This defo looks cringe cos literally no smile from either since recent events that happen

I will use this as an update to this post from earlier, to clarify that it seems Michael was at A View From the Bridge tonight, rather than Kiss Me, Kate.

It turns out that Callum Scott Howells (who played Owen in Michael's directorial debut, The Way) was in the play, and I'm going to put up a few pictures of Michael with Callum and Dominic West that pretty much say it all:

The last one is a particular favorite for oh-so-many reasons (hello, arms, and also twink/Daddy vibes...), but I'm just sort of floored at the difference between these pictures and the pictures with Anna. If people are unwilling to see that difference/how unhappy they both seem at this point--to where neither Michael nor AL look like they're even trying in these pics--I'm not sure what else can really be said.

All I can say is that Michael's face is visibly lit up in the picture with Dominic and the pictures with Callum, which makes it more noticeable when his face is not lit up otherwise. And I know we could say there are a hundred reasons why he looks so sullen in the first set of pictures (he's tired, travel issues, etc.), but what takes this into the realm of purposeful for me is seeing him with the other people at the after party. I think Michael is an incredibly good and talented actor, but when he's being himself, he is never going to pretend to feel something he doesn't feel, or to pretend not to feel something that he does. And that seems clearer than ever in these pictures.

Could I be completely wrong about all of this? Of course. But I'm hard-pressed to see how anyone can keep ignoring what is plainly right in front of us, and has been for some time. I'd be glad to hear from my followers as well with your thoughts...

Hurry Up and Wait

WAITING FOR GODOT Theatre Royal Haymarket, London, Wednesday 25th September 2024 Long before I read this play during the first year of my Drama degree, I encountered an artistic expression of alienation from existence.  I’m talking about the vultures in Disney’s The Jungle Book (1967).  These mop-topped scavengers have a scene in which they struggle to find something to fill their time.  “What…

A View from the Bridge (West End) Review

The man who has broken the code. Alan Turing  is one of Derek’s most memorable portrayal. Emotionally intense. Turing should have been a hero of his time. He was finally a victim of Intolerance. He has contributed to save mankind. And mankind has betrayed him. What Derek did here is more than an artistic performance. It is also a personal tribute to a great man. He has highly contributed by his talent to put Turing’s work and life into light and given him the recognition that he deserved (photo : Martha Swope)

I saw the announcement last night that Tom is going to be teaching his own masterclass about acting, with the focused piece being Much Ado About Nothing.

I'm so incredibly happy for him. He has spoken many times over the years about how he would love teaching, and I think him getting to provide knowledge of his skills alongside a work of Shakespeare is phenomenal: he is so talented at it and a long time lover of it.

He truly shines on that stage as Benedick. He shines in all of his roles. And, he shines as a person. We're so lucky to be his audience. Tom has always been the kind of person to give back to the community around him, and this masterclass is just further proof of that characteristic.

So incredibly proud of him. I can't stop the beaming smile from ear to ear on my face every time I think about it. Go Teacher Tom! 𖹭

Window on the World

ACCIDENTAL DEATH OF AN ANARCHIST Theatre Royal Haymarket, London, 29th July 2023 In 1970, Dario Fo and Franca Rame presented this masterpiece in response to the real-life death by defenestration of a railway worker while in custody of Italian police.  Now revived for the London stage in this new adaptation by Tom Basden, the issues raised by the play could not be more pertinent.  You only have…

Similar to your Sheen/Tennant dilemma I will be trying my hardest to get same-day Macbeth tickets for October 5th and if I can’t I’ll be walking two steps over to the royal Haymarket theatre to see Waiting for Godot…I’d consider it a win-win situation at least 🤷‍♀️

Very mature of you but unfortunately if i don't get to see michael sheen perform this acclaimed play by one of the greatest playwrights from my home country I will not view it as a win win. I will behave very badly. I will not be held responsible for my actions.
