lagilmanIf you have the opportunity to see the Donmar Warehouse broadcast presentation of Coriolanus (the one starring Tom Hiddleston, yes) go see it.
Gah, that's a rough play. But oh so brilliantly done.
Although it was amusing - half the audience was the typical live broadcast fans I'm used to from the Met Opera (hush, starving writers can't afford actual tickets to the Met), which means they were Of A Certain Age, and the other half were young Hiddles fangirls (of both genders). They studied each other suspiciously until the play started, and then we were all of a one.
(there were about five of us who were there because SHAKESPEARE from the NATIONAL THEATER and oh yeah, Hiddleston and Gatiss)
The entire cast was exceptional, with a special shout-out to Mark Gatiss, Eliot Levy (who looks a rather disturbing amount like David Coe), and Hadley Fraser. I'm not going to geeble about the actual production here, because I don't want to spoil any particular moment for people. But we can go on about it in comments, if anyone likes...
