A Little Life - Richmond/Harold Pinter/Savoy/ Cinema

It’s understandable that Jude would have trust issues and a preferred doctor, but the range of treatments administered by 1 doctor was just implausible. Theatrically, it would have made perfect sense if the actor just played a range of doctors, similar to Cowan playing three different abusers.

I kind of just brushed past the doctor. Cowes was very different in all three roles despite portraying the spectre of abuse. The doctor I just went: sure, and didn't 5hibk anymore about it.

Maybe I am confusing how the book treats Dr. Andy as opposed to the play because in the book he is clearly an orthopedic surgeon and they are "devoted to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disorders of the bones, joints, ligaments, tendons and muscles." He essentially goes beyond that to act as Jude's GP because of the trust.

Still have two tickets to tonight's performance if anyone is looking to catch the show before it closes.

I hope you enjoyed it? Does it stop pretty much everyday because, I can only assume, people are having a reaction to it it?

Any.kre news on any possible transfer. I would have thought they would announce before they close.

I was there last night - no show stop. I had an on stage ticket and have to say the audience around me were exemplary (that sounds a bit like a school report!)

The whole handling of the behind the stage experience was really well done by the Savoy staff. It's incredibly well executed and they are very friendly and professional.

I've seen it 5 times and never had a show stop but I have seen people leave & staff helping people out of the stalls. Last time I did onstage seating someone a few seats across from me looked like he might faint but managed to stop himself, I was surprised when he came back after the interval.

I saw a video of Luke saying it is going to Broadway but not straight away, or words similar to that. I guess they might all have other work commitments after this.

I've just watched it again and he says not for a bit of time but yes it may. James was telling us back in April that Broadway was being discussed so like you say they probably always knew it was a possibility

Yes they do seal your phone until the end. You can take food and drink in but you're not allowed to eat while on the stage, people do drink though. You have to go back into the bar during the interval so that gives you time if you want to eat. Hope that helps :-)

It’d be daft not to take it to Broadway surely? After the success of London both in terms of box office and audience/critical acclaim, a limited run there would be bound to sell well - especially if they can take the same cast over.

Probably really used to it at this stage.

If I was betting, if I was definitely the financer, I would be looking at April or end of March to end of June or early July. Which nicely gets in for Tony contention and ensures they be in UK to show up at Oliviers because surely they are looking at awards.

Also critical response was mixed as to the play but superlative for the acting. Also while people here seem to have taken to it, the American audience will be different. And they didn't seem to like th Dutch version. Never underestimate the power of a buzz though and the play has that.

Also Bridgerton films for around eight months but if four isn't Luke's season to lead then he won't have to be there for all of that. Also J. Bailey was filming in America while also doing Season 3. I think a lot of the actors may begin to drop out after their series. J. Bailey is different as he is now head of the family.

I was there last night too, it was my last visit. There are always tiny things that are different each time but last night Willem came rushing in and said 'happy birthday! Just kidding, congratulations!' when Jude got adopted. First time I've seen that so not sure if it was a mistake well covered or on purpose.

They had their wrap party last night - I think it's the only time they haven't had a stage door!
