ROGER ALLAM IS GOING TO PLAY PROSPERO IN THE TEMPEST AT THE GLOBE OH MY GOD

(yes, Colin Morgan is in it, too, but COME ON, I am talking about ROGER FUCKING ALLAM here. This is a public post and I'm totally sparing you all my since-a-teenager Roger feels, mostly because most people already know all of them, BUT ROGER.)

WHEN ARE WE LEAVING?

I have no money, but I can hock something. I'm sure I can. Maybe my dog can get a part time herding job.

I love Shakespeare. And Allam's voice. And Allam as Prospero is going to be amazing.

I WOULD HAVE SOLD MY HAIR EXCEPT I GOT IT CUT :[

He's going to kill it. I can hear it already. It doesn't help that night before last I was watching Simon Schama's Shakespeare and listening to/watching him speak Falstaff's line in Henry IV and just dying. ROGERRR.

OH MY GOD I WILL BE IN LONDON THEN! I am going to go! Thank you darling Kiltie!

*breathes*

OH MY GOD!

[kiltsandlollies]

I HOPE TO BE TOO AT SOME POINT AUGH. This show is going to be amazing.

How do I not have a Roger Allam icon?

Really? Whenabouts?

Just wanted to say that I wouldn't have know about this if not for your highlighting of same. It segued with a conversation with C about how to my shame I have never been to the Globe, so we fixed that, lolz.

OMG that voice! What part is Colin playing? The only other really juicy one is Ariel.

[andraste_oz]

Colin is playing Ariel :)

[msilverstar]

excellent!

[kiltsandlollies]

Yep, he's Ariel. Not my favourite of Shakespeare's parts, but he'll be very good--with luck they won't make him fluttery and teasing through the whole thing, because Ariel can get bitter and twisted and be far more awesome than I've seen him done. But yes, Roger's VOICE. Augh.

Do your since-a-teenager Roger feels cause you to make a trip to London this spring/summer?

[kiltsandlollies]

I am strongly considering it, let's say. :D And also considering being on much better behaviour around the man if I do. :D

[rodneyscat]

If you do decide to come, I highly recommend April 27th or June 29th. Just saying.
