… to see Jude Law in Hamlet! Three words: A-MAZ-ING! He should totally do more theatre. From the moment he started speaking he just drew me in and said those famous speeches in the most accessible way. So charismatic, great physicality (and gorgeous)! Loved how they did ‘to be or not to be’. Think he’s replaced Tom Hulce as my fave Hamlet! (Oh no I didn’t…oh yes I did!)In the theatre I was 4 rows behind Law’s “Sherlock Holmes” co-star Rachel McAdams!! – gorgeous in skinny black trousers and a peachy pink silk kimono like type top). Alas, no pics of her. She came out of stage door briefly after show, but stage manager blocked the shot and she didn’t stay.
Not so Jude though, who was very gracious and took lots of time signing autographs. He’d kept us waiting for quite some time (think while he was visiting w/Rachel), so the crowd was a bit unruly by the time he came out w/lots of shouting going on.I calmly stood and waited my turn and when he took my programme to sign, I looked right at him and said ‘That was a fantastic performance, thank you very much’ and he looked right back at me w/those gorgeous blue eyes and said ‘My pleasure’…I died, and could have laid down the Law right there and then (if ya catch my drift) Special thanks to Lynne for having the forethought to buy tickets way ahead of time (like last year!). More pics of Jude are here
