The Modernists

Jesse on stage! 
I found two more small stills + a short  text. Oh, the theatre...

The Modernists: Orlando Wells as Clifford and Jesse Spencer as Terrance  
 




This one is not new...but just for the record...;)



Collars cut to the inch, scooters on stage - Oonagh Jaquest saw Jeff Noon's The Modernists at the Crucible, and found it engaging and hypnotic...

Terrance (Jesse Spencer) might well become popular eye-candy for the theatre-going ladies - and gents - of Sheffield.

As a lead singer with a stutter, he's prettier than Gareth Gates - a fact that hasn't escaped the notice of Vince and Clifford.

Director Robert Delamere has them dancing around one another like the game-playing courtesans from Dangerous Liaisons.

Their charged relationship has hints of the homoerotic - which turn out to be homo-social, but then again…..

It is fascinating to watch them vie for the attentions of a protégé - after all, what is a self-made man without a follower?
