YEAH! Me love some Patrick Stewart. Although I do wish he would act in more feature films.
Stewart and Mamet! Theatre lover’s dream come true! Though it will be very weird hearing him drop all those F-bombs…
Happy about Patrick Stewart appearing on Broadway… But I saw this play in Boston several years ago… and it is a TERRIBLE play. It wasn’t the actors’ fault, nor the director’s… it is just very uninteresting. I still am a Mamet fan, but I think it’s the worst thing he’s ever written.
Intimately, the post is in retilay the greatest on this worthy topic. I suit in with your conclusions and also will certainly thirstily look forward to your forthcoming updates. Saying thanks definitely will not just be enough, for the awesome lucidity in your writing. I can best away grab your rss feed to stay privy of any kind of updates. Authentic work and also much success in your business endeavors!
I saw Patrick Stewart do this same play in London’s West End several years ago, along with Joshua Jackson. I met Mr. Stewart last year and had him sign the playbill! He seemed to get a kick out of that. I’m curious who is going to be the newcomer on Broadway.
