Before I tell you what a fantastic time I had today, I have just opened my laptop to see the terribly sad news that Roger Michell has died. He was a tower of a man. I met him a few times socially and thought he was so generous and kind and genuinely sweet. What an amazing director. So much fabulous work. He will be sorely missed.
So, we started today early with rehearsals, then a dress rehearsal, our second after last night's effort. Then I went off to Leicester Sq Odeon for the Red Carpet of The Last Duel and back to the theatre for the first preview of The Mirror and The Light. All in all Great fun and a dream for any actor to have such a full diary, even if only for a few hours. Dammit it I missed Jodie on the carpet, but I couldn't wait and mess with my head as Henry. I had to get back to the Gielgud. THAT was fun. Nerve wrecking but so proud to be working with this team, and relieved that after a few mistakes I was on track. Exhausted now, so I'll get back to you soon with updates! Hooray for all involved in both the film and the play, and Hooray to the Wonderful Roger Michell, who brought joy to millions.

Ridley Scott, Oh My!!!!!

Hi there. So I saw The Last Duel yesterday and WOW. Ridley knows how to tell stories. He has put together an amazing film. It's not short, but that just means there is a lot of depth. Don't be frightened off by the length. Jodie's performance is right up there. Well, the central 3, Jodie, Matt Damon and Adam Driver, are terrific, as is Ben Affleck. Harriet is haunting too, but the depth of cast and commitment and the talent of the fight arrangers and stunt people and Special Effects dept. make this gripping. Such extraordinary work both in front and behind the camera. It's a privilege to have been a part of it. I can't wait for it to open.
Excitement building on he Mirror & The Light. Some blindingly good perfs from the newcomers, both old and young. I fear I may run out of hyperbole!
Just wanted to say....

Rehearsals SO EXCITING!!! Everyone is being fantastic. These newbies, both to the play and the industry, are bloody amazing. Truly wonderful performances emerging. Not long now. Just under 3 weeks. Fingers firmly crossed all goes well.
Quick word about Texas. Middle-fucking-ages! How dare they!!!! And as for the Supreme Court, well it had to come didn't it. That's what Trump stacked it for. Embarrassing as a male, no, a human, what they have done.
