Yeah probably but he stills looks great!

Oh I love getting things on sale, especially half prize! It's a great bargain and very flattering too=} Where did you get it by the way? I'm gonna be in London soon (THREE WEEKS!) to so I might be able to find some great things.

He played Hotspur in Part 1, who is one of the main characters, so he was pretty much on stage half the time which was brilliant! He was shouty, he SMILED, and, wait for it... he laughed. Actually evilly giggled, it was amazing XD

Seeing part two tomorrow... to which he said "See you then." Yes you will Benjamin!

He wears eyeliner well too =] (nomnomnom)

He truly is a really lovely guy =] We talked about where we studied, cool like that you see XD He told me he went to Bristol Old Vic (and it was really hard not to go: "Yeah I know, so did Ruth Kearney!)

*grins* thanks Mercy =DDD

HAHAHOMG, EYELINER?! Captain Jack Sparrow, meet Captain Becker. xD They have to make a sixth season and then make him wear a beard for a few episodes. <3

Not many actors are so open and friendly towards fans. He's such a cute one.

(and it was really hard not to go: "Yeah I know, so did Ruth Kearney!)
*lol* I hear you, sis. Being a shipper isn't easy. ^^

*cuddles* Got already many streest and houses? :D

Pistol (his part 2 character after Hotspur's swordy end...)was basically a pirate.... he was drunk most of the time or drinking. Very Captain Jacky, ngl. That was the comparison we made!

He really was the nicest guy. He asked if we lived in/near Bath so SFX got mentioned and he was lovely about them too (and they him =])

I was totes behaved =D

I had nearly everything then lost it all in complete STYLE!

Ooh nice! Was this last Tuesday night? I was at that one as well (though I wasn't in the front row - I've been sprayed at the Theatre Royal before, so avoid it! :-) ) , got a last minute ticket but still a good seat.

Yeah, tuesdeeeee (Weds for part 2) We were in A1+2 of the Royal circle, so round the side a bit, nice and close without the fear that he was going to fall on me! It surprises me that it's not been more full with Peter Hall directing but both nights the top circle have been empty (or near empty) which was weird. But hey ho, they don't know what they're missing!

Oh I was right opposite you then, I was on the end on the other side of the Royal Circle. I live and work in Bath too so I've not been able to resist going along several times and its never been near capacity although probably not bad for something that was on for 6 weeks. Did seem to get busier once the reviews in the posh papers came out though. Summer season is always poorly attended and they move you down on the night so they don't have to open the bars on the upper floors. I've bought the £6 standbys before now and been moved into the 5th row of the stalls but no way was I going to risk that for this! :)

Excellent!

I've been working in Bath the last two weeks so I jumped at the chance. I live in Chippenham during the uni holidays so I would have probably done the trip anyway XD

Yeah, during term schools fill out the rest of the seats for exams and things (been there, done that!) shame though cause it is such a brilliant production!

It was brilliant! I didn't notice the shirt until I got home and uploaded the photo. XD
