March, Drury Lane, Hiddleston and Atwell: Post #19

[usedtobeljs]

In case anyone hasn't seen this --

It was announced today that director Jamie Lloyd is bringing Shakespeare to the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, taking advantage of the interim between Frozen and Hercules.

First up in December and January -- Sigourney Weaver as Prospero (or Prospera).

The second show is of course the one that made me shout with joy. Tom Hiddleston and Hayley Atwell, Benedick and Beatrice, Much Ado in February and March.

I knew a big stage announcement was coming because he'd mentioned it obliquely a couple of months ago, but this, oh my God, THIS.

Since it's Drury Lane (1990+ seats) and I signed up for priority booking, we'll see if I can get tickets when booking opens for Much Ado in a few weeks. We persevere!!

Happy middle of your week. :)

That sounds marvelous! I finally was able to catch Tom Hiddleston in something (Crimson Peak) so I know what all the love is about. I hope you're able to get tickets.

I remember how CHEAP tickets were in the 70s, like £5. Days gone by.

Oh, THiddles is great. If you like Shakespeare at all, his work in The Hollow Crown in Henry IV and Henry V is excellent. And he can be very funny, as in Thor Ragnarok. He'll eat Much Ado up with a spoon.;)
