So here is something for our amusement. Since this place seems to belong to us right now anyway, we might as well just do what we want

The top notch acting in the Weisz/Craig/Spall 'Betrayal' is emotionally true, often v funny and its beautifully staged with filmic qualities..
Further to my last post about Dominic Maxwell's article in today's Times, I should add this:
The article heading reads,
'They can shut down services, but they can't dim the lights on Broadway'. It's boom time on Broadway reports Dominic Maxwell - Daniel Craig is perfect in Pinter and A Glass Menagerie thrills.

Thanks, I wished, he was a New Yorker critic. But since he is new in this particular position, he wouldn't want those to call him stupid with bad reviews. So - he really means itcassandra wrote:Further to my last post about Dominic Maxwell's article in today's Times, I should add this:

Dominic Maxwell is the new chief critic for The Times, but he is an experienced critic who has been writing about theatre and comedy for the paper since 2005.Germangirl wrote:Thanks, I wished, he was a New Yorker critic.

I forgot to add that there is a small colour pic of Daniel and Rachel on the front page, immediately under the paper's title, with the caption 'Bond on Broadway - Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz play Pinter'. Also there is a large picture on the cover of the arts supplement. So they have had good coverage in the paper.

Me - at the hotel again with too much time on my hands
From our Vesper. She should come here and tell US
Vanessa aka Khan @HysteriaUno 5d
Basically seeing photos of Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz on stage makes me really, really proud and happy.

Oh, I absolutely credit Nichols. Obviously, all 3 actors are great, but Nichols is the one who's telling them what to change, how to say things differently, etc. He's seeing it from the audience's perspective, the actors aren't necessarily doing that. A good director knows what to do with the actors. They depend on him. He can't make a soufflé with bad eggs, but he can take a great talent, the ingredients, and change up the recipe to make something magnificent.Germangirl wrote:You think so? What IS he known for? I believe in a way, there is not so much anyone can do when an actor doesn't FEEL the role. Good the first reactions were so lukewarm for him, so he knew, he better get his act together and be BETTER. Obviously he is now I believe that critic.sf2la wrote:How cool is that?! I bet they are sleeping much better now. Nichols must be doing what he's known for.

OK, I understand that. Particularly, that he needs to sit WITH an audience to maybe see, what he overlooked before or thought WOULD work and didn't.sf2la wrote:Oh, I absolutely credit Nichols.
