I love the comedy one-liners in Jo Combes interpretation of the Vortex and Will's role as Nicky is I'm sure, just as the director intended him to be played. Hell, it's another 4 weeks before I get to see the play again, I'm back at work on monday so I've missed my chance to go again before the 9th of March. There's no chance me getting a banquette as it was posted on Devoted that they were queuing at 7am yesterday.:(

The thing about critics is that they don't know any more than Joe Public as to what is the right way to put on a play. It is only the original author who actual knows what was intended, so the critics' opinions are not worth the paper they are written on.

 

Apart, of course, when Will is praised!

Stephanie Beacham was on BBCTV the other morning for publicity for her forthcoming new play. I heard some of her comments that it is a Noel Coward play, and that it was quite difficult in his plays to know just how he expected the character to be portrayed. Did anybody hear the whole interview?

 

I agree about the one-liners Suggy. Will does them so well and that was something that was picked up on time and again in the reviews.

:o Must have missed that as I've been away overnight and only just got back. Not surprised though.

They have taken the set down today to launch the new England kit :blink:

I'm sure they'll put the set back up once the press have left, wonder if Will got a free shirt? :lol:

They'll probably take pity on him if they see him wandering around in his holey jumper. :lol:

That's true, scruffy sod. :lol: :wub:

I still cant get over how he can be dressed like a tramp one moment and the next he is dressed absolutely stunning...he does not go in for half measures :kink:

Your right BYM&M's he never does things by half.

 

I think it's the fact that he's so bloody eccentric that makes me love him more. :wub:

 

Just got back from the play :P another stunning performance :dance: Will got a little too enthusiastic when he jumped off the stage and almost went flying into Nannyt, her face was a picture as she throw up her arms to protect herself from Will about to cannonball into her :rofl: but he managed to balance himself at the last moment.

 

He didn't come out tonight apparently he had a meeting but he did send out some autographs to those who were waiting only Preston and the actress who plays Clara came out.

 

He just gets better each time we go :yahoo:

Just think only two weeks ago she was very reluctant to meet Will when I tried to take to see him! Now she almost has him landing on her lap. Brazen hussy! :D

Thanks for your report BYM&M's. :cheer:

 

Would love to know what the meeting was about.

Bet that's the first and last time she'll try and fend him off. Oh to be felled by Will. :lol: Glad you had another super evening BYm+m's.

Was it really Nannyt or one of her identical triplet sisters? :lol: I'd be more than happy to break Will's fall. :wub:

Actually it could have been one of her sisters, they all do look so much alike :lol:

Yesterday we went to see Will Young leading in the Noel Coward play "The Vortex." After the obligatory "I think I'd better leave right now" gags from all and sundry in my party, we settled down to watch what was actually a pretty impressive turn from the Pop Idol turned actor. I am not a particularly sophisticated theatre-goer, but I know when I'm entertained (the secret is whether I start thinking about traffic-calming measures in Prestwich during the action, or keep my mind on the story. Actually, who am I kidding, my mind is far more likely to turn to football and girls than anything else. If it's a REALLY bad play I might start thinking about traffic calming!). And entertained I was last night. It was the last play of the season, and once again I am going to renew my season ticket for the next one. Four Saturday night plays for £45 can't be beat.
