Hmmm, didn't think much of the film, although that was not helped by seeing it on one of the worst cinema screens in the West End (the Odeon in Panton Street, I didn't know if it was supposed to be so murky looking or if it was just that the projectionist was pissed)- it was the beginning of Johnny Deep's slide into the hammy, do any old rubbish for the money rut he's been stuck in for the last 10 years or so.
Will wait for a few reviews before deciidng on seeing this.

Oh yes please. That's me booked. I find Dominic Cooper rather attractive. In quite a filthy way. He's a man I imagine knows his way around a boudoir!  |

Is this going to sell well in London? The story might attract but not sure how big Dominic Cooper in 2016.
TRH is so big but so expensive so hoping for comps/discounts.

He's not had any enormous breakouts yet (unless you count Mamma Mia!, which I'm not sure I would), but he has been steadily working in the US, what with his recurring role as Iron Man's dad in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and he's also about to be the (HORRENDOUSLY MISCAST) lead of the TV series Preacher. And there's the Warcraft film, which I suppose has the potential to be huge though the trailer is far from the greatest I've ever seen. I don't imagine this'll sell out, but I think it'll do okay. It'll discount, but it won't close early. Maybe.

No plans to see this.
Would rather spend money to see AS and SRB at Stratford

This has gone quiet a lot, especially considering it is beginning previews in under two months... do we have any other casting news?

Was this the play playing downstairs at the Royal Court when Blasted was upstairs? Probably. It was co-produced by Out of Joint and the Royal Court and toured the UK in autumn 1994, in rep with The Man of Mode, both directed by Max Stafford Clark. Blasted played Upstairs in January 1995, so it may well be that The Libertine played its run Downstairs at the Royal Court in January 1995, after the Autmn 1994 tour. |

For some reason, I thought this teaser preview of 'The Libertine' might be of interest to a few of you: (Ahem, esp. Dominic Cooper fans.)
In terms of casting,they must be counting heavily on Cooper's appeal. Besides Jasper Britton, I don't think most of the other names will resonate (and aren't featured in the preview video.)

There had better be some nudity in this.
If there isn't even a flash of a Dominipple I shall NOT be a happy bunny.

Oh pervy old Terry will make sure there is nudity but as it's at the Haymarket you'll need U-Boat binoculars to get the full benefit. Odd how Johnson gets a free pass on this whereas Benny Hill didn't. |

The Libertine is the very first show at the Theatre Royal Bath after the installation of the new audience seating.
So, any planned nudity can't be sufficiently exciting to trigger the release of bodily fluids as this would spoil the new seats.

Ha ha. How he got those girls to do what they did in Mrs Henderson I cannot imagine, especially Emma Williams who is a serious performer by any standards. The genius of it is, they genuinely seemed to think they were doing it for a higher empowerment/feminist purpose. I wish I knew his secret.

Yes, I recall one droll interview with the high-minded actress who got her tits out for him in Piano/Forte who assured us he was an "eroticist" rather than just a dirty old man (that would be the audience). There is always a ready audience in UK for a middlebrow play with nudity - Steaming, Equus, Hitchcock Blonde etc. etc - as Terry has noticed to his advantage. |

But if you think for one minute that I'll be sat somewhere in the Haymarket where I need binoculars when there is the possibility of a flash of Dominic's cooper then you are much mistaken sir, much mistaken. I shall be front and centre armed with a bag, the keys to a getaway van and a dose of rohypnol that could bring down an entire proletariat. |

Alfred Marks had an anecdote about appearing at the Windmill in the 1940s as The Sultan with his nude harem and so on ("to annoy the punters when the girls faced upstage I just used to look down at it"). One regular used to go frequently but could only afford the cheap seats so he had a special pair of glasses with very thick magnifying lenses made. Entering the theatre for the first time wearing these he fell down the stairs and broke his leg. (Note to Terry: good idea for a play ?). |

Oh yes, and didn't he do the rhyme, "Was Christmas in the harem, The eunuchs all stood round, And hoards of gorgeous women, Were stretched out on the ground. The sheik stood in the doorway, Surveyed his marbled halls, And when he shouted 'what do you want?' the eunuchs shouted, 'Tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy. Tidings of comfort and joy." I think that is the authentic script. Yes. A Richard Bean original. |
