And now the National Theatre’s Christmas
show for grown ups! I saw it a couple of weeks ago, another preview, with my
friend Lisa for her birthday. I don’t think she’s a fan of German expressionism
or maybe she was just two hungover from the day before… but I actually really
enjoyed it.
Adam Godley’s performance was totally
insane, all arms and leg and jerky angles, I booked it because I knew he was
good but I did not realize just how good he was. Brilliant. I enjoyed the first
half of the play more than the second, I think just because of the maniacal
behavior, but also the beautiful snow! Ever seen a giant stage covered in
billowing snowdrifts? Lovely! There were some great things to look at in the
second half too but Adam Godley calmed down (a bit) and there was not nearly as
much shrieking and clambering about.
Long tall actors should always clamber
about like loons. It pleases me.
