[TheWill4You]

[MandeeSparkle]

I wish I could have seen this with Tennant at the national theater in the costtesloe

[jdfrancis131]

[actfray]

Audio is slowed down. Video needs to be repaired.

[offstanding]

@actfray I know I know.. unfortunately I don't know how to repaire it, probably I will just delete it

[thetallships]

@offstanding don't delete it!! better to have the video than nothing at all! :)

[afsbjah2]

[Penguator432]

I'll be playing Michal next October. So pumped.

[rleigh87]

mmmmmmmmmm billy

[thetallships]

Is there a version of this clip available without distorted audio?

[donnaoday]

@thetallships I second that question.

[offstanding]

@donnaoday I can't find the clip anymore, I think it's not available, you can go to charlierose webpage and look for 'the pillowman', there're some excerpts of the play at the beginning and at 6:30 in the interview with billy crudup :)

[zekesmith]

In my highschool I've been cast as Tupolski, can't wait.

[queenofyou1]

Same here! Having a bitch of a time memorizing The Story of the Little Deaf Boy on the Big Long Railroad Tracks in China...

[HLP815]

just saw this tonight :)

it was awesome.

[magicmike96]

.....i would love if i could actually understand the video...i want to actually hear what they are saying..and see some clips from the show..

[fazehead]

I needed Help after seeing this Play!!

[vitagrotesk]

this play is the best. i've read it over and over. i've never seen it, though....

[Pancheitus]

I saw the argentinian version... and it´s excelent...

[spaceoreo]

Two weeks away from playing Tupolski. This thing is a thrill ride.

[WideAwakeAsleep]

Last week I played Ariel in my drama exam!

It was so exhilerating to be graded for playing with knives, screaming and swearing at the top of my voice!

[chevyslave]

Yes, I get to play Tupolski on the 27th, not really sure how to approach the role, it's a bit daunting at times, having to deal with Ariel's shouting.

[normanslilgirl]

You deal with it by dealing with Ariel. He's essentially your wind-up toy for most of the play. You need not react to his anger with anything other than a dismissive attitude or a weary resignation.

[r3dr0oster]

there was one at the curve with marc warren omg it is amazing! XD

[TemperatureIndicator]

i just saw it today and you are correct, it is amazing.

they had that guy from the hustle and green street.

the acting was awesome.

i was sitting left of the stage and i swear i could have touched him if i wanted to.

anyone who lives in leicester, watch it because my preconceptions of the play were totally smashed today...im gonna take a mate of mine to see it in a few days.

i probably wont tell him that it scared the shit outta me, had so many jumpy moments.

im still a man damnit =)

x

[littlesthobbo]

I saw it the other day and am seeing it again next Wednesday. Marc is AMAZING!!!!!!

[moglinghippocrates]

it was fab wasnt it! i really wish i could go and see it again! how good was it though? VERY!!!

and the whole art installation too!

[ricey23]

I watched it the other day in Leicester UK. It was incredible

[NellBrent]

That's the guy who played the Canadian in In Bruges :-P

[haleyofthehighlands]

i felt exactly the same way - king and grimm put together. my god, this play blew my mind. i read it two nights ago and i just can't stop thinking about it. what twisted brilliance!

[54spiritedwill54]

brilliant, both this and Lt. of Inishmore

[emokid294]

my high school just did a production of this! Only the second HS in the nation to perform this. Such an amazing play.

[IKAttard]

Astonishing play...

[lordyendor]

I played Michal in Reno at Bruka Theare and was the most amazing acting experience in my life. Thanks Brian Barney.

[kenny6446]

I saw it on Broadway like 3 times...AMAZING cast!!!

[ecmobley40]

This play is incredible. McDonaugh does a great job at really presenting these characters. We are currently doing a production of it and it's a very interesting show. The comedy in it, if played right, is absolutely hysterical. From Tupolksi's odd tactics, Katurian's snide remarks, Michal's itchy ass and Ariel's lack of patience, it's one of those shows you never know when to laugh outloud.

[LadyShalott]

It's called a "black" or "dark" comedy. If played right, Katurian is absolutely hilarious. It's a beautiful type of comedy because it's uncomfortable. You want to laugh at things, but when you do, you look around and notice that everyone's doing the same thing: wondering if it's OK to laugh. That's the beauty of it. The more uncomfortable the show is, the funnier it becomes. I'm writing my University exit critique on this play. It's brilliant.

[jdawgbrun81]

who said this play was a comedy?

[indieabby88]

I finally read this play, since I've wanted to see it for years and haven't been able to. I want to see it now more than ever. Holy cow, what a script!

[TulseLuper]

I am so pissed off that I missed this production. I saw this performed at my college last weekend and it blew me away. Possibly the best play I've ever seen.

[schadenfreude713]

I was lucky enough to see this show on Broadway- wow. Steppenwolf in Chicago did a version of it too recently, but their Ariel wasn't anywhere near as good as Ivanek. Still, you can't go wrong with this play. Pure genius.

[emmers591]

My college's student-run theatre just did this play and it was AMAZING! It was especially amazing that they let us do it since we're in Utah.

Wish I could've seen it on Broadway, too.

[myarea51]

this was probably my very best theatre experience, when I saw this one couple of years ago. really really great one!

[dkmagby88]

Ah I read this play for a theatre class. It's pretty brilliant...I hope one day I can see it performed.

[jaja3456]

i saw a production of this in fort worth, texas. it was so good! really dark, but goodd.

i wouldnt call it a comedy that much. it's more drama.

they should totally make it into a movie!

[SugarKaneCarrie]

This play is amazing. I wish I could have seen it on BWay

[RadiusCochlear]

oh how i love this play!

[magicnorman]

fucking brilliant, both this and Lt. of Inishmore

[leporidus]

I'd like to see it, but I'm on the wrong continent.
