I don't know exactly why but there's something about the whole production that makes me think "if you liked Oil then you'll LOVE this...!". Something about a drearily-lit Anne Marie in a period costume I guess? I do hope I'm very wrong, Oil was basically fine but nothing more really. Yeah I kinda get what you mean Baemax, saw Oil on strength of Anne Marie Duff and wasn't wild about it and similarly booked Common for that reason though does now have Cush Jumbo so hopefully it'll be worth the punt. |

Went for a walk along the Sherling walkway tonight. They had a number of puppets lying around and a giant statue of a rusty blue fairy/angel - any ideas what they could possibly be for? Literally the only thing I can think of coming up that includes puppets is Pinocchio. The signage all said Angels in America though...

Angels does have a couple of puppetry types among the creatives, including Finn 'War Horse' Caldwell.

Angels does have a couple of puppetry types among the creatives, including Finn 'War Horse' Caldwell. That could very well explain it then. I'd kind of written AiA off as it didn't look quite finished (the angel's wings weren't attached to her body, the poor dear) but that seems likely. |

"but it could be good as it is directed by ivo van hove."
Funnily enough, that's exactly why I think it won't be good and am giving it the widest of wide berths.

When I did the NT tour in late January, they were already well into working on puppetry for Angels in America in the workshops.

Just in case tickets for this weren't going to be hot enough...
Between Fiennes and Okonedo in A&C and the Kinnear/Duff Macbeth, I think it's a safe bet to say that the NT is going to have a very good year for Shakespeare in 2018
