No you wouldn't. If he wasn't a celebrity, you would just walk right past him and not even make eye contact. Just like every other person you see sitting around, and in some way, asking for money..
a brilliant play that sadly got to see only twice in London, at the beginning of the run and at the end, it changed a bit but it was interesting to watch, I bet the Broadway version was a little different too, this part proves it, much more comic in timing and presentation. Met Charlie Cox he signed my playbill, saw Tom at the end of the street couldn’t reach him cause of the crowd. Tom is so good in this, theatre is his natural place.
I could say exactly the same! I saw it twice in London too. Met Charlie and zawe and they signed our programme but wasn’t able to meet Tom. Queued for ages but he left before we got to the front! Oh well.
I saw it on Broadway. Wonderful production! Great acting. Very cool set. They had various curtains that changed the depth of the stage and the central part of the stage revolved. They used physical distance and spacial relationships to represent emotional relationships. Very, very cool!
Unfortunately they don't have the rights for that (a lot of people were asking for the same but Jamie Lloyd (the director of the play) said it won't be possible)
no but the fact that i was coming from a huge daredevil show fan who just very recently came to appreciate loki’s character more than ever, because of both man’s acting, is bizzzzzare dawg.
Same here, really wish I could see it on Broadway too. Listening to this, I think it has evolved. It would be great to see firsthand how much it has changed.
@@Galemor1 My thoughts exactly. They've said how they're always discovering new things and always evolving so it would be interesting to see where they're at now. I wish they could find a way round the rights issue and film this.
So happy that I got to see this last minute this past weekend, it is literally the most amazing live performance I have ever seen! The acting was phenomenal (as expected) and the staging was brilliant! 😀❤️🎭👏
Carolyn's Reading Ramblings agreed! I saw it in 2013 when the stage setup was much more elaborate, the actors were Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz, and it left me cold. I enjoyed this iteration so much more compelling.
@@mobycat33 oh wow! Yes I did love this stage set up with pretty much no set and very few props. That's interesting that this version appealed to you more, did the Daniel Craig/Rachel Weisz one have the dark comedy elements the way this did? I am envious that you got to see both because when I heard that Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz did the 2013 one, I was sad that I didn't know about it to try to see it not only because I think they're both fantastic actors but also I'd love to see how a real life husband and wife acting duo play this married couple on stage. Thanks for the reply! Happy Holidays 😀❤️🎭
@@CarolynsReadingRamblings To be perfectly honest, I dozed off a couple of times during the 2013 show! I do remember some of the dark comedy. I was also in the mezzanine, and while the seats were decent, the set was basically a diorama that was much, much smaller than the massive stage it sat on (about half the size - imagine the set in a box on top of a larger table), so it was odd to see the actors walk across a blank part of the stage to get to the set. Being in the mezz also meant I couldn't really see the actors' faces. I was in the 3rd row for this iteration, and seeing their expressions (I could see the tears on their faces) helped to make me more invested in the characters and the story than the 2013 version.
5:05 I made the mistake of taking a drink of water right before this line. You guys, I actually spat out my drink. I didn't know that could actually happen, I thought it was just internet hyperbole. I love Tom so dang much.
I honestly don't understand the plot, because I have a speck of autism. Also I've never seen any Broadway plays in my life. So, I'm worried of what Tom Hiddleston might say to me, because I'm not as smart as him or anyone else. 😥😢
@@kayleeescobar6828 Ohhh no, don't be worried! I've met Tom, and I can assure you that he's the sweetest, most non-judgemental person in the world. He would never make you feel anything less than perfectly valid. ❤❤❤
Saw the play today, 11/16, play was awesome, husband and I really enjoyed it. Alot to think about, the dialog goes fast, so you really have to pay attention. One disappointment, no autograph signing after the matinee, so didn't get to do that. Sent a gift backstage to Tom with the house manager, hope he got it. One funny thing, my name is Judith, so I loved hearing Tom say my name. I have to make that my ring tone! #tomhiddleston
Let me ask you something, because you saw the play. Does it have the same rythm on stage? And do they perform it with this dose of comedy? Thanks for reading me.
@@caroly1993 Some lines are played for comedy, the scene that they do here is kind of rushed, and pulled from the middle of the play, so the tempo is different than when its played altogether. The play is done in an hour and half, no intermission. The pauses are silences are longer in the actual play.
thanks for this gift! Last night I watched the 1983 film with Jeremy Irons. The story impacted me a lot and I wanted so much to see the current version with those three great actors. Thank you!!!!
I MISSED IT! THE ONE TIME I DONT WATCH LIVE FROM HERE AND I MISS IT?! NOOOOOO! Thankyou so much for the video tho. I just wish I would have gotten to watch the live from here.... live. 😟
@@amandalou4876 oh wow, same time? Small world! Yes, it was fantastic. I was disappointed that there was no autograph signing after matinees, however, as I had never wanted one before. Im a big fan of Tom's work, particularly his stage work. #tomhiddleston
Positively Pet Partners haha small world indeed! I waited about an hour after the show in case he made a surprise appearance. Yes I Iove his stage work
@@amandalou4876 We came in from Long Island and had a car waiting for us, so I asked and they told me, no, they werent doing it after that performance. I brought Tom and his dog a gift and had it sent backstage to him before the performance. Fingers crossed he received it, as Im sure he will have gotten a kick out of it. The House Manager assured me that it was sent back to him. #tomhiddleston
I live in California, so I want to see that play on Hollywood Boulevard. Whenever I try to understand the plot of their story, it gets me emotionally frustrated!😭
Claro que Zawe se ganó todos los premios 🏆que manera de ligar 🤦se llevó al más irresistible y dió fruto (bebé que ya camina) es muy fuerte🙈🤭igual felicidades🤷😥💪🙋🇺🇾
@@melandriesnyman8073 This would be great. But I would have been happy, if they would film it, like they did with Coreolanus, but they haven' t the film rights. Sad.
This play is just to good they keep on roasting each other they are in charter.😁😁 I confess I'm a officially a person who loves plays now there are amazing. What do u call someone who loves plays do u called them anything at all
I came here to say 2 things, first of all I would love to see this, unfortunately I can’t …and second Zawe just won the jackpot of her life back then🥹… and now I am going somewhere peacefully to cry 😅
Is it weird that I'm too fixated on the scene to laugh out loud, so I'm just sitting here laughing on the inside, feeling a consistent chuckle in my throat that won't make any sound?
Crap, was this after the matinee and before the evening performance? If so, no wonder they didnt come out the stage door.... Watched it again, and yes it was! They certainly work them hard! #tomhiddleston
Wow, that is.....not how I would play that scene. (but who asked me, right? they're the professionals...) Does anybody know if they do the entire play that comedically? Or did they just do that for this one little sample?
I saw the play yesterday.. some of the lines got laughs, as they should, others were done seriously. The scene when done within the play has more pauses and silences, and was not as rushed as done here. I saw the play at the matinee, right before this broadcast was done, actually.
@@positivelypetpartners Ok, that sounds better. No, I actually have never read the play--just seen the movie with Ben Kingsley and Jeremy Irons. I got the impression it was a line-for-line a replica of the play (or nearly so). Have you seen the movie? Did Pinter make any significant changes between the play and the movie screenplay?
@@positivelypetpartners I think I must have seen the performance after this because from what the presenter says it sounds like this was done Saturday?
Hi, unfortunately is was never recorded (the director of the play didn't own the rights for that) There is a film-version with Jeremy Irons, Ben Kingsley and Patricia Hodge: ua-cam.com/video/Pv_9s5Ht1H0/v-deo.html And a radio play with Andrew Scott, Charles Edwards and Olivia Colman: ua-cam.com/video/ppVoib4e7ao/v-deo.html
I know this play pretty well, and honestly, Zawi Ashton just didn’t work for me. I’m sure she is a good actress, but for me, she didn’t read the lines well, or the way Pinter wrote them.
Yeah I have to admit this wasn’t what I was expecting from the play at all. Once they started speaking then I remembered this play was written in the 70s. The scene is really more about the subtext obviously but yeah I don’t know I guess kind of awkward without the context of the rest.

God I adore Hiddleston...that man could recite the phone book on a street corner in rural Idaho and I'd pay the price of admission
No you wouldn't.
If he wasn't a celebrity, you would just walk right past him and not even make eye contact.
Just like every other person you see sitting around, and in some way, asking for money..
Seriously that voice of his
😂😂 2:07
I hope they tape the show and release it at some time for the fans to see.

They don't have the rights so sadly no
They didn't unfortunately
Bro the fact that he can switch between his real life persona to the character he’s playing is 10/10 acting theye
In this video you can see Charlie Cox having the time of his life.
I went to the show for Tom, ending up loving all the actors!

Wow I didn't want it to end. I really wish I could have seen this! It looks amazing. I salute them for memorising all those lines effortlessly.
I love these three!! On stage they are INCREDIBLE. Meeting them live Charlie is the sweetest.
they all seem like such lovely individuals so jealous you got to meet them
I hope they filmed the play and it will be released someday, so many people like me who live to far away to see it.

Saw the play last Friday, cried most of the time, love it!! They were amazing!
Tom was AMAZING in it like WOWE
saw the play twice in London and it’s always a little different, now seeing this scene again they’ve changed it a little , AGAIN. Amazing still.
Absolutely fantastic actors and even more awesome as people. These people are actually awesome to talk to.

Just booked my tickets for closing night. So excited.
Omg the envy I have

I saw the play in March in London. It's interesting how different the scene was then, at least from what I remember.
Daredevil and loki
