The Country Girl - a final Windsor squee...

Ah, Windsor, the traditional English scenery... *g*

...but best of all, another evening watching MS as Frank Elgin in The Country Girl...

Four of us last night, sitting right there in the front row, and this time I was so central that the seam of the curtains were right in front of me - wheee! *g* It was another very mixed audience too, which was good - not just row upon row of women sitting up front! *g* So, what happened...

- JS fluffed her lines again, several times...
- MS and ML had a lovely look between them when MS threw a chair across the room and it broke rather spectacularly, and I reckon it broke even more spectacularly than he'd expected. Or else he'd been told not to throw it so hard he broke it again. Or else he'd promised to be more careful. Or else... well, something - he just looked for a moment more laughing-at-this-cos-he-couldn't-help-it than purely acting... *g*
- He was good... *vbg* Again.
- There were still differences in the way people played their parts - Nancy didn't catch herself accidentally and go to look into the "peer glass", she stopped on purpose and asked Georgie if she could...
- MS is still very bendy - there's a bit where he's talking about the part his character is playing, and he gets down on one knee and sort of gestures around and in front of him, and he just still makes it look so effortless
- They ran out of programmes (but they had photocopied colour pics of the middle poster to give out instead)!
- I can't believe it's going to be weeks until I can see it again! (Shush... *g*)
- I really would like to get my hands on a copy of the script, but it seems to be elusive at a reasonable price... hmmmn...
- I know I'm biased, but I do like Letheran too, and the Stage Manager, and in fact I think the cast is all good, but... MS really does have presence on stage (I expect in real life too - bet he's just one of those people), and he seems so much more solid in his role, somehow, than some of the others, and just... confident, I guess... A reckoned he fluffed a line tonight, but I've got to admit that if he did then I didn't notice it, unlike with JS and ML... He's good... *g*

And it's already time to go to bed for work tomorrow (since I can walk and stay awake and all now... *sighs*) I did waste time watching Sherlock when I got home, though - it's rather good, innit... *g* Interesting... Doesn't hurt that it's BBC Cymru, and the Doctor Who people, oh and Mark Gatiss who was in Worried About the Boy that I rather liked as well... Jolly d all round, then... *g* Though I've missed NPPW again...

How're y'all doin'...?
