Important components for a really good production of Richard III:

Richard should be a) played by an actor who is themself visibly disabled[1], b) especially early on really damn charming and sexy

Buckingham should be in blatant unrequited love with Richard

Elizabeth should be FRICKING AWESOME and absolutely outwitting Richard towards the end, not giving into him

there should be at least a few moments that make able-bodied audience members really rather uncomfortable and make physically disabled audience members laugh our arses off :D

Which is why the 2021 RSC version starring Arthur Hughes, Jamie Wilkes, and Kirsty Bushell is the best, I note. :D But if you know of any other productions that tick all of those boxes I'd love to hear about them. :-)

[1] Invisible and non-physical disabilities are So Fricking Valid and I have some myself, but when it comes to R3 the visibility is important. <3

Fantasy casting François Arnaud in Shakespeare plays because of course I am...

Oh but now I know that François Arnaud wants to play Macbeth I massively need to see this happen.

Fantasy casting, somewhat off the top of my head but no one can tell me this wouldn't be breathtakingly good:-

Macbeth - François Arnaud Lady Macbeth - Kirsty Bushell Malcolm - Hudson Williams Macduff - Arthur Hughes Banquo - Kit Young I also wish to see the following Julius Caesar involving, again the rest of the casting slightly off the top of my head (except Varma, that bit's essential :D ) but I am confident would be amazing: Brutus - François Arnaud Cassius - Indira Varma Mark Antony - Joey Batey Caesar - Adjoa Andoh Octavian - Kit Connor Etc. :)

Some director make both of these happen, please and thank you. :)

The Cherry Orchard (Bristol Old Vic) – WhatsOnStage.com There's an art to restoration, and Bristol Old Vic embodies it. Its refurbished gold-gilt Georgian auditorium is, at once, old and new.

For better or worse, I rarely research plays before I see them. Some plays, I know better than others, but when unfamiliar I don’t seek information out. Part of it it’s being otherwise busy, part of it it’s a belief the production will and should deliver in its own terms.

This is a long-winded way of saying I knew…
