Review Theatre

The Playhouse theatre: Glengarry Glen Ross (2018)

Glengarry-Glen-Ross-Playhouse-298-700x455

I met Christian Slater last night. Let me say that again, ‘I met Christian Slater last night’. It was one of those chance occasions where one minute you’re doing what you usually do (for someone like me that’s going to the theatre) and then, all the sudden, the moment becomes an event – one that you’ll never forget. Yes, I was completely star struck and I have no shame in telling anyone that, why? Guess what? It’s not always about looks. I admit Slater, who is now 48 years old, is still ‘hot’, but given his rip-roaring performance last night, I am convinced he is as great a stage actor as he is a film actor.

The Playhouse theatre is currently showing David Mamet’s 1984 Pulitzer price-winning play Glengarry Glen Ross. It describes the lives of four real estate salesmen in Chicago, hustling hard and shoving their egos at anyone who likes the sound of a juicy deal. Glengarry Glen Ross was transformed into a Hollywood blockbuster in 1992. Al Pacino, Alec Baldwin and Ed Harris were the few to headline the movie. It became one of the most highly-recommended films for sales training.

I don’t mind being in second place. Well. With Cunning little Vixen leading I do - a bit.

when press accreditation costs £50, you are already excluding people from going and further contributing to the dearth of working class critics in film journalism Retweeted by Drama llama Mary🌸🎶

Without having seen Come From Away yet I'm already reading this tweet thinking 'I know, I know'. twitter.com/rochellebalboa…

Spent the whole of my lunch break reading reviews of Come From Away from bloggers. 👍 Traditional criticism is becoming harder and harder to stomach when many paper critics now seem to find petty reasons to pick holes in a show successfully spreading some good in the world.

Yes, I just booked advanced tickets for a film about a female writer who forgets she's also a kick-ass superhero. Not enough of those types of films, if you ask me. @captainmarvel
