Coriolanus

I don't think I mentioned I went to see a Coriolanus screening on Thursday night. I saw on Twitter that there were going to be screenings in Italy and there was one in a town nearby, so I got a ticket. I asked my friends if they wanted to come along, but the only one who was interested was busy with work and said she couldn't make it in time, so I went alone. I enjoyed it very much, even if the Italian subtitles were a bit distracting. They showed interviews with Tom Hiddleston, Mark Gatiss and the director before the actual screening and during the interval and I didn't need subtitles for those, but during the play I sometimes got lost when the actors talked too fast. English subtitles would've been easier to follow for me, because I was listening to the dialogue in English and trying to read the subtitles in Italian at the same time and it was a bit confusing. But I understand that most people would only read the subtitles and just vaguely follow the action on screen without really listening to what was being said.

Funny bit from before the actual screening, when they were showing rehearsal photos in a loop: a girl sitting behind me went "That guy was in Harry Potter! And that's Mycroft!" I was expecting to find a few fangirls and I wasn't disappointed. Also, during one of the promo videos for one of the other National Theatre plays, suddenly Andrew Scott appeared on the screen and a girl sitting a couple of rows in front of me went "OH GOD!" Priceless. XD

"That guy was in Harry Potter! And that's Mycroft!"

Maybe I'd be guilty of thinking the same but I wouldn't say it out loud. XD

I was squeeing inside the first time Mark appeared and any time I recognised his voice while he was off screen, but I was able to restrain myself. XD

If they just sold it on DVD, we could have proper fangirl moments in private. XD
