I NEED TO SQUEE BRIEFLY WITH YOU.





Normally I'm like, "Urgh NO, get that city-slicker crap outta my face." Today it was: GIEF. NOW. WHERE'S GIORGIA?

So I looked it up and it OPENS TODAY and of course all the tickets for the show are sold out but apparently day tickets are available every day so I'm just saving it for a blue day in March or April and I'm going to go get the cheapest possible tickets and it will be awesome!!

And then I got to work and all the squee got crushed because, well you know, it's work. But then I saw this on tumblr and so I'm just leaving it for you for when you are awake and around and want to squee.



This is the tumblr it's from because credit is due: http://lilymiller1.tumblr.com/post/3506959858

LOL I knew it wasn't just us! It was just Giorgia was getting all excited about the NTLive screening of it the other day so I immediately thought of her. But it's screening at cinemas WORLDWIDE (apparently) so you don't need to be in England to enjoy the nakedness *cough* earnest, literary play I mean.

20 MINUTES! THIS IS IMPORTANT INFORMATION. THE TICKET JUST PAID FOR ITSELF.

That's almost as much as Daniel Radcliff in Equus! (Note to self, nakedness shouldn't be the ONLY reason to go to the theatre).

Thanks you so much for the info. I just checked on the National Theatre website, and the play is being screened from late March to late April at Washington, D.C.'s Shakespeare Theatre Company, which is s 20 minute drive away from where I live. And the tickets cost about 20 dollars.

That's one dollar per minute of nudity...and one minute driving per minute of nudity.

But, yeah, of course, I'd go PRIMARILY to the support the arts and to get some cultural exposure...and if some actors want to expose themselves in the process, I will not stop them!

Ahem.

Yes. This. Ahem.

I was so happy when I found out that they're doing this as an NTL Live thing, which means that it's actually being recorded and played HERE (as far as I can tell. The venue in my city is on the NTL Live website, and another 'events' site, but it's not on the actual theatre's site. SO CONFUSED.

(Ahahahaha, although, I love that this is in the paper. At least it's not the Daily Mail. They'd be all, "IS 'SHERLOCK' CORRUPTING YOUR CHILDREN? YES. YES IT IS. HIDE THEM!")

HAHAHAHAHAHA I REALLY WANT THAT MAIL HEADLINE! Perhaps I'll sock puppet them an outraged letter to get them on the case, all like, "Family drama is defiled by NTL screening of Sherlock actor naked around the world. The National Theatre is now exporting it's filth. It makes me ashamed to be British when our cultural heritage is thus debased." And then they can show pictures of him naked to make the point. Win/win.

I really hope it works out so you can see it in your town!

Ahahahahahahahahaha, local rags are the best. (Even though the Mail is a bit more... national. Whatever.) Any paper this state produces is just BS. I flip straight to the "world news" section, read the one or two useful pages, then take a look at the job ads, then toss it.

And there's really only one good national paper, anyway; most of the others are Murdoch papers, which yeah, no. I don't even bother reading the paper around election time.

Ahahaha, yes, there needs to be a picture. "Look, just LOOK at this depravity!"

Simon Mayo was doing Frankenstein music Thursday to celebrate the opening of this! There was no mention of nakedness (imagine that!) But OMG, even more horrid that I cannot see.

I WILL FIND A WAY.

(I feel a quest coming on)
