I'm going, too.

I shall have to wait until 6 March which is better than nothing. Wish you a wonderful evening.

There are 500 more tickets for the Screening at Cinestar Düsseldorf (Jan, 30th) if anyone is interested. Cinema 3 will show Coriolanus, too.

I don't believe it. I phoned them only last week and they told me there would not be a second screening as this was technically impossible for a live screening. So I bought tickets for March at UCI. But thank you anyway for posting this. Cinestar is just not very well organised.

Very excited about finally getting to see it tonight. The reviews I've read so far all sounded quite enthusiastic!

**Posted by besleybean** January 30, 2014 7:17 am

Yep, I can't wait!

Nothing better than a good laugh in the morning. Thanks, Mark.

And have a great evening (while some other members watch Frankenstein which is not so bad either).

Well... I hope so. Because I travel to the "Forbidden City". Quote from our favourite detective... "Exit visas are scarce in... Cologne" (for this kind of occasion)

Prepare yourselves, ladies, Tom is preparing, too...

And oh my, Mark...

That tweet really made me laugh when I saw it on my twitter feed this morning.

I posted on Facebook last night a couple of photos from The Donmar Warehouse with Tom covered in blood and Tom under a shower and tagged the friend with whom I am going to watch the play tonight. There followed a rather, slightly, pervy game of what can only be described as verbal 'shower poker' between us! It was so, so funny! We were in fits of giggles by the end! Heavens only knows what will happen once we get to that scene in the cinema tonight. (Could be embarrassing!)

I absolutely loved the play, what a performance! Just amazing! Mark Gatiss was bloody (no pun intended, there was a lot of blood) brilliant and so was Tom Hiddleston. At the end I was actually in tears, Hiddleston's performance was so convincing.
Highly recommend it!

**Posted by besleybean** January 31, 2014 6:49 am

That's if you can get tickets!
Yes, it was brilliant!

**Posted by gently69** January 31, 2014 8:01 am

How big is Mr. Gatiss' part in it?

**Posted by the_dancing_woman** January 31, 2014 8:11 am

Oh, I would say he has got the second biggest part right after Hiddleston, so if you're a fan of Gatiss (and I am a huge fan of Gatiss) it's definitely worth going.

**Posted by gently69** January 31, 2014 8:26 am

That's tempting. But i will be a logistic problem. I heard that it lasts nearly 3 hours.?

**Posted by SolarSystem** January 31, 2014 8:27 am

Oh yes, it was amazing!
Definitely a completely different experience than "Frankenstein", lots of talking, not always easy to follow. I'm not sure if I had been able to follow everything if I hadn't known the play already.
A pretty straightforward production on a comparably small stage, but they made the best of it. And yes, the last twenty minutes were breathtaking... Tom was so brilliant, he actually made me cry a bit.

Mark's part is very important, I would say that he and the actress who plays Coriolanus' mother both have the second biggest part after Tom.

And lots of fangirls in the cinema...

Oh... Gosh... and again I'm thinking of something... stupid.
