that if I had gotten to see Jon Slinger as Richard II I would have absolutely died.

I am not sure whether I am talking grand or petit.

OMG. I had never seen the play before. I had only read it once - really more of a skimming. The production made me instantly love the play and it jumped to my top ten of Shakespeare. I wept from the sheer beauty of the speaking of the verse. That had never happened before. Slinger was amazing. I was crying all throughout the deposition scene. When he wiped the makeup from his face... it was killer.
R2 set the tone for the whole weekend. Intermission came, and I already knew that the next three days were going to be the greatest experience ever.

I wept many bitter tears over my total lack of funds, because as you know, Bob, it is my FAVORITE PLAY EVER and criminy it looked SO GOOD HOLY SHIT.

WHERE IS MY TARDIS, I ASK YOU.

I did not! Though I figured it was some sort of in-joke, and in fact it is AWESOME. They did not do it in the 2001 version.

I kept thinking of you when I saw it. And, yes, he was utterly amazing.
