Couldn't have said it better.

I can't wait to see him...
The last time I saw Andrew in theatre, there were dozens of boys and girls( I suspect drama students), screaming at him...I will be doing the same, judging by that picture!

Was it Birdland? I'd have loved to see him in Birdland!

**Posted by besleybean** July 9, 2016 9:03 pm

Yes.
The part suited him to a tee and he was very good.
Loved the set.
Not the best play I've ever seen, but it was interesting.

Wow. That photo is amazing. I thought it was taken underwater, at first.

My exact first thought was: it's very Ophelia...
He is playing Hamlet, isn't he?!

I think that picture is beyond perfect. As we all know, Hamlet dies in the end. But even before that, he's feeling dead inside and there's always a sense of doom and death surrounding him and everyone else. So yes, great picture.

I agree, it is perfect. I was staring at it for some time when I found it yesterday. I love the colours.
And he'll be perfect in that role as usual.

Just can't wait...providing the run coincides with my school hols.

Stunning pictures. Funnily enough, Ophelia sprung to mind rather than Hamlet, what with the flowers. (The last Shakespeare production I saw had a lot of gender swap!).

Cool.

I HAVE TICKETS!

**Posted by Yitzock** September 8, 2016 4:55 pm

Awesome!

**Posted by besleybean** September 8, 2016 4:58 pm

Just about had a nervous breakdown trying to get them!
Daughter on line and me on the phone and we both got through at exactly the same time...after about an hour or so of trying, after a rather difficult day at work!

That's good news, beasley, when will it be on?

**Posted by besleybean** September 8, 2016 6:19 pm

It's on Feb to April next year.
My school holidays only coincided with the last week of the run, so I thought I wouldn't have chance for tickets.
As it is, hubby and I are going to the Wednesday matinee performance.
Just hope with it being almost the end of the run, that Andrew doesn't fall ill!

**Posted by mrshouse** September 8, 2016 6:22 pm

Keeping fingers crossed. He will be great I'm sure.

**Posted by besleybean** September 8, 2016 6:24 pm

You know how you are ridiculously excited, but just don't want to hope for too much?!
