Posted: 3/26/15 at 9:45pmI love Sophie Okonedo. Such a great actress and she'll be great in this. If you haven't seen it, watch Oliver Twist. She plays Nancy with a drug addicted desperation.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Richard Armitage finished recently a critically lauded run of The Crucible in the West End as Proctor so I wouldn't be surprised if they get him for his BW play debut. In fact I'm hoping so.

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”
~ Muhammad Ali

I'm excited by the fact that it's Ivo Van Hove directing. He's not for everyone (he tends to send the pearl-clutchers into a tizzy), but he's done brilliant work with classic plays. His STREETCAR and HEDDA GABLER (both with Elizabeth Marvel in the leading roles) and MISANTHROPE, all at New York Theatre Workshop, were stunning, and his A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE in London is the best I've ever seen that particular play done. I wasn't champing at the bit for another CRUCIBLE, but with him at the helm, I'm buying a ticket.
And Okenedo was so good in RAISIN that I'll see her in anything.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

I didn't see SCENES FROM A MARRIAGE, unfortunately. I was working out of town during its entire run. I'm still sad I missed it.
