Naïve Old Fart 9,516 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Do JWfaners go to the theatre? If so, what do you like to watch? The last play that I watched, was ART (in English), where Roger Lloyd Pack had a 10-minute meltdown, half-way through - and got a very big round of applause, for his troubles!

Bilbo 3,709 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Shadow of a Gunman by Sean O'Casey. It was some point in 2015 I think. Dublin's Abbey Theatre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,495 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 VERY rarely. The last one I saw was a free ticket I got for a staging of Knausgård's MY STRUGGLE, also last fall. I didn't like it, but then I never liked Knausgård's narcissistic novel series to begin with. I sometimes go to 'stand up' or 'impro' shows, but that's not really a play. I've BEEN in a few plays myself though, back when I was going for an acting career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightscape94 965 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 The last theater experience I had was in December when I went to see Salome (the Strauss opera). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 A school play! Or I was in it, i think? Not sure if ive ever seen a play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,192 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I rarely go to see a play live (though I'm a regularly opera-goer, see the "live gig" thread). The last play I saw was Pinter's No Man's Land in London, with Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,495 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I forgot to say that I also have a degree in theater history and theory -- which makes it even more ironical than I've seen so few plays over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I saw The Book Of Mormon last night at the Kennedy Center Opera House. Makes me wish Trey Parker and Matt Stone would do another South Park film. Holko 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holko 9,525 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Beatles.hu at the local theatre - it's structured on some of their best songs (thankfully in English), and the whole play was basically bits of their fun interviews woven together into a not really coherent but fun mess. It's subtitled as "A musical rampage in two parts". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Yeah it was really fun. Brilliant religious satire, as always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 My wife and I were season ticket holders for the Shakespeare Theater Company in DC when we lived in the area. We saw lots of really plays (not just Shakespeare). It's not the last play I saw, but one I really enjoyed was Richard Schiff (of The West Wing) in the Eugene O'Neill play "Hughie." Unfortunately the last one I saw was a production of the awful musical adaptation of A Christmas Story. It was terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
