"holy fuck" doesn't actually cover it. I'm dying. honestly dying. fucking hell, I hate my life right now, there's basically no chance I'll make it to london for this, and I already missed The Tempest. I think I want to cry. A lot.
Oh man, it's just so unfair... That's certainly the downside of theater, especially since something like the dvd we'll get from The Tempest will be the exception to the rule. Most fans won't be able to go to his plays, and yeah, that sucks :(
the thing is: I don't even want them to make a dvd (I'll still watch the one of The Tempest though, I'm not stupid). I don't think theatre actually works on dvd. I again realized that when I went to see an encore screening of danny boyle's Frankenstein from the NT - it was amazing and mesmerizing, but at the same time it felt wrong because you could tell that it was meant for a live performance. and I honestly believe that colin was rather made for the stage than the camera - his screen work is honestly good and I'm looking forward to seeing more of that, but everything about him screams "theatre" to me even though I've never seen him on a stage. screen work is something you can watch, but theatre is something you feel, that's so much better. and I guess there's a whole lot to feel with mr morgan there (let alone with ben whishaw...and rupert grint is just hilarious, that's always a pro). so yeah, I'm weeping for lost opportunities and and am currently reconsidering my life choices. maybe I should move to london.
I was seriously considering going to that play anyway, but when I got home today and saw this news I didn't need to think about it anymore.
I love that he loves doing theater. I was hoping he would. I understand how frustrating it must be for fans who live too far to go and see him, but I can't help it feeling so damn pleased.

Damn, that hadn't occurred to me until you pointed it out!
