I saw the Ruling Class !!!

[spacealtie]

So... last saturday I saw The Ruling Class, in London, at Trafalgar Studio. At the same time than Hugh Jackman apparently 0_o

But I guess my brain was too focused on "someone" else to see him....And by someone I mean of course James McAvoy, but more on that later...

My friend must have thought me mad because I was so afraid we'd miss the beginning

OMG OMG I AM NOT GOING TO SURVIVE THIS!!!

when I saw the Y-fronts and unicycle mentions I was already done and having seen Filth I can only imagine what McAvoy is capable of when he plays a mentally ill person. I love crazy plays (my favorite Polish theater writers have always been Gombrowicz and Witkacy whose plays are total madness) and I am looking forward like WHOA to this now even though I usually experience this horrible second-hand embarrassment in the theater (because of the emotions, exposure, acting etc.).

THANK YOU SO MUCH for this awesome review! (not biased at all ;))))

can't wait to see what you'll think of it !
I wish I could go there a second time tbh...
I don't see how you could feel second-hand embrassment about this play (except perhaps for the doctor, he plays mental illness too at one point, but his interpretation suffers from the comparison with James's - nothing dramatic though)

I won't lie, I am jealous.

I am so so so unbelievably jealous, you have no idea.

I am glad you enjoyed it though, it sounds brilliant.

Now I shall go back to be jealous in the corner.

Would it make you feel better if I told you that it's even more frustrating when you've seen the play ? Because it's finished too quickly, and you would like to see it again and again, but there's no DVD to watch in a loop ?

Being a fangirl is living in constant frustration and jealousy ;). God, there's someone who's paid to paint "God is love" on James's bare chest every night, can you imagine ? XD

I'm working on the job application as we speak!

Oh this is an amazing review! Altie, I can't believe you got to see him perform live, how absolutely wonderful! You'll not forget that any time soon. Just amazing.

and I'm not biased at all - Nope, not at all! HE IS FABULOUS :DDD

[spacealtie]
