The Daniel Craig Forum

As I found yesterday reading a newspaper article,that Daniel performed this play in Valencia, Spain, back in 1990!! The play is based on a poem by spanish Federico Garcia Lorca.

Here's a picture:

I will try to find more info later...who knows what we can find..LOL

The National Youth Theatre toured in Spain and Russia while Daniel was there. Absolutely fabulous to get a photo of that period!! Thanks!

Grip

WOW, Montana!

What a great find! Thanks!

It's a shame that I don't understand spanish

Thanks a lot for the great find. Wish I understood more Spanish. Fortunately there's a guy in my class who can translate the article for me....

Good find , I wish someone could find something from Hurly Burly >

I wouldn't have recognised him in that picture, but that sure is a great find!

I adored this description of the character that Daniel played

Leonardo: dishonest, selfish. He was rejected by the parents of his first love. Deeply in love. He was not ashamed in leaving his wife and children to escape with the Bride. His character is similar to of this one: Unconscious.

Still to need to translate the text that put Montana?

yes!

The note is a complete mess and contain some mistakes in dates and facts, for this I will tell what says. Sometimes is not a textual copy.

Craig remained in Valencia several months in 1990, when he came to present Blood Weddings in the Teatre Principal directed by Edward Wilson. There was a double montage of the play: Teatre Jove, a Valencian group and the National Youth Theatre.

Jaime Pujol, an Valencian group actor says: "I would be charmed with seeing Daniel, we have worked out very united, I was an assistant of Edward Wilson for "Blood Weddings" and then I mounted it with Valencian actors". Even I has "a video that they gave to me of the representation, is not a professional thing, it was to work with him". Seemingly Pujol was not invited to the premiere and was annoyed because of it.

Pujol remembers that "we did a good friendship" and of fact they have worked very close, here and in London. "Craig took me to a discotheque, it had been a theatre and they had removed the armchairs". When the actors of Teatre Jove were to London and represented in Romeo and Julieta. Pujol had been the only one in supporting the confidence, up to the point of remaining in his house.

Manuel Angel Conejero: "I was his coach for Leonardo's role". A role that the young actor played with many conviction, and the teacher and translator of Shakespeare (Conejero) indicates that "he was a great actor". Because in addition "he was a fresh person".

Craig, according to Alberto Mira, who was a translator of the actors, on having returned to the London drifted apart from the National Youth Theatre. And he gave a course to his career, had good performances in Angels in America and then in Cabaret, in New York, with Sam Mendes.

This it´s the reason about which I asked. The note does not seem me reliable. Thanks girls

I thought I may as well post this here. I must admit I always thought it was from something other than Blood Wedding as indicated by that NYT tweet that Cass posted a few weeks ago. He doesn't look like anything like the pic from the article posted.

This girl COULD be Rachel, if you stretch it a bit andf its many years ago and they DID work together at that age, but I cannot find any other names of the play

Yep, you are quite right. This is from Marat/Sade

click to view the second pic....can't see any resemblance with the actress I know

But the caption at Daniel's pics seem accurate, because we have it undet Marat/Sade in the gallery and I know I had this info from a reliable source...I just can't remember where I got the info from

Blame old age
