A Colin fan's review of "The Tempest" DVD vs. the live performance

[In which Rockn blathers on about stuff probably no one even cares about...]

So, this week I finally received my copy of The Tempest and got a chance to watch it through. I cannot wait to hook up my DVD player to my big screen TV so I may gawk in hi-def, but in the meantime ( Read more... )

Thank you for this. One of the reasons I was most curious about seeing the DVD was because I wanted to see how Colin performed while being as sick as he was. That seems a bit morbid, really. It was obvious to me that he was very unwell, but his performance completely melted me. I think his being ill probably gave him an extra layer of vulnerability that elevated his Ariel as a 'spirit' and I have to say that I had tears in my eyes as he sang, and delivered many of his lines, knowing how badly he must have felt.

I will never tire of seeing live theatre; there is nothing like it. You are so fortunate to have seen Colin as Ariel. I hope to one day see him on stage.
