Yeah! So, whichever organization thought of the neat idea/started it is apparently making it a frequent thing perhaps. Just seemed pretty soon after the last one, but still, neat.

Is it about a year? I really don't remember!

Russell · April 17, 2014 6:23 pm

Oh? I could have sworn remembering hearing about the neat little moment on stage with Ben and Gillian late last fall/early winter. But yes, they seem to be doing them as a series of charity events for the same organization… wonder who else will join Louise in this one?

besleybean · April 17, 2014 6:29 pm

Oh god you're right.
Cos it was October when I bumped into Neil and Gillian, on Charing Cross Road!

Russell · April 18, 2014 8:54 pm

Hee… humble brag, there? But in all seriousness - awesome.
I hope we get to see a decent clip of Louise's part, too!

besleybean · April 18, 2014 8:58 pm

Sorry, I should have said SEEN them, I didn't speak!
Incidentally, delighted though I am about this wonderful event...
Did anybody actually hear about it?
Fist I heard, was to be told it was sold out!

With all the talk of Benedict's performance at letters live, let's not forget lovely Loo!! She was amazing today and the chemistry with Ben when reading the 'filthy' WW2 letters was so special to watch.

She also delivered Virginia Woolf's suicide note with such emotion and feeling, it will stay with me for a long time to come. Truly spectacular

I just found this and it was hilarious. Louise is perfect!

Sherlockology has such a nice, new interview with Loo, about her latest film!

(they also already reviewed the film itself, in a previous entry)

Thanks for posting this article REReader. I read it this morning before coming to this board and found it very interesting. Loo seems like a wonderful woman who is on the right track about a lot of things. Her dedication and passion for so many important things in life really shine through in this piece. I can easily see why Ben and her are close friends.

Her comments about BC and MF were spot on to me. You can tell she adores working with both of them. Her observation about Ben - that "he has a technical brilliance that you then entirely forget when you’re seeing his work” is so true. He definitely seems to work so hard that it appears naturally brilliantly easy.

And her comment about MF - “The man’s a robot, but in the most brilliant way. He’s so precise: everything is thought through.” shows how automatic Freeman's precision for character is. Must be a joy to work with in every regard.

Thanks again for posting this. It's a keeper!

My pleasure--and I mean that! It's easy to see why they keep growing Molly's character, Loo is so intelligent and perceptive that she has to make it easy!

Happy birthday....
