The description of the play makes it sound a bit iffy to me. I feel like it could go either way. But sign me up regardless! I loved Radcliffe in H2S and Inishmaan, and I'd love to see him live again. I'm constantly becoming more and more impressed and how willing he is to take on challenging roles and interesting projects.

Although I imagine there will be few to no tickets left for nonmembers, as was the case with Dry Powder.
"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."

"This provocative theatrical event will ask audiences to charge their phones, leave them ON during the performance"
No thanks.

At least it won't matter then if it sells out, since you'll obviously be able to watch the whole thing on youtube.

I am only keeping my phone on if it means Daniel Radcliffe will be giving me his number.
...Or Rachel Dratch. I'd like to hang out with her.

Been considering becoming a member of the Public to secure tickets and with this announcement, maybe it's time to. Does anyone know how long it takes to become one? Like, if I registered/paid for a membership today, would it be effective immediately, i.e. in time for when tickets for this go on sale for members?
Thanks!

Is it safe to say this could be something they would be looking to transfer over to Broadway?

They send you a physical welcome letter that obviously takes a few days, but you'll have online access and be added to the members email list immediately.

I very much doubt it. Sounds like it's headed to the Donmar in London.

Considering this was at Donmar two summers ago with a different cast, not sure it would head back there, unless for a West End transfer.

Ah, my bad. I missed that and was going off the fact that it was a co-production. I still don't really think it sounds like something that would be aiming for Broadway, but who knows!

I've seen him in Equus, Inishmaan and How to Succeed and I think he is quite good on stage.

^I'll second that! I didn't get to see him in Equus, but I did see him in the other 2, and I thought he did a great job in both.
I know this is sort of off-topic, but for a couple years now, I've had this dream of seeing Radcliffe play Hamlet (or do any Shakespreare).

He was totally charming and winning in H2$. And he was nuanced and powerful in Inishmaan.

He's wonderful, a great recent addition to the New York theatrical community--a true believer.

String him up! he's stealing roles from true stage actors.. Sarcasm.

I've seen him in Equus, Cripple of Inishmaan, and How to Succeed and he was wonderful in all three. I hope I can get tickets for this because I'll honestly see him in anything onstage.

I don't remember where, but I'm almost positive I have heard or read an interview where he discussed Shakespeare. I don't remember exactly what he said, but the takeaway was that it probably isn't something that will happen. I will see if I can find the interview. I will say I've been curious how he would be with Shakespeare as well. Funnily enough, the playwright that I really wanted to see him work with after I saw him in Equus (I just thought Dan seemed like the kind of person/actor who would really appreciate this playwright's work) was Martin McDonagh, so you can imagine how excited I was to see Inishmaan.
Edit: I guess I was wrong. I don't know if this is specifically what I was thinking of, it is about three years old, but according to this he is interested in Shakespeare and, specifically, Hamlet. https://www.thestage.co.uk/news/2013/daniel-radcliffe-one-day-id-like-to-play-hamlet/
