One of the freebies available at the moment is from the National
Theatre. This is a theatre I visit regularly and performing there is top
of actor dream list.
Watching theatre on screen is always a bit odd and as I settled down to
watch the fantastic "One Man Two Guvnors" it did take a little while
to adjust. Stage and screen are very different mediums and nothing shows
this as starkly as watching a recording of a play.
However, all the actors in this production have pretty notable screen
careers as well, so it's not like they can't do both - we know they can and after a short time, I stopped "being aware" that I was watching a play.
I saw the show when it transferred to the West End with Rufus Hound
taking over from James Cordon in the lead role. I loved this production
and watching the filmed version last night still elicited many, many laugh out
loud moments, as it is, in my opinion, perfect farce.
I'm now looking forward to watching some more stage productions which
are being offered up
