I’m glad people are posting so much about this new Romeo and Juliet stage production. It shows that Cinemaphile is now taking an interest in theater. What are some of your favorite stage productions? What are some performances you’ll never forget? Who are some of your favorite theater actors?

I liked Hamilton. I didn't realize all the founding fathers were black! Wow, you learn something new every day! And at the end they told me orange man is bad, and if I vote for him, i'm a nazi
>i'm a nazi
good for you anon
Theater is moronic
>Theater is moron-ACK
>I'll deal with him myself I still need him for the film
Theatre is unironically better than film.
When I say theatre I mean true theatre; not
.
i want romeo and julian please
Is this a good production of Titus Andronicus?
Arguably the best.
Yeah it's great. The guy playing Titus gives off a sort of unhinged Oliver Reed vibe. The only thing that's a bit overrated is the gore - people went on about how extreme it was at the time but it's not that bad.
i saw Machinal at the Old vic. THe staging was great but the betty boop accents sucked and I had to pee really bad
The young vic down the road is great. Cheap tickets and a cool atmosphere. Smaller productions so the quality can be hit or miss but for the price it's normally a good night out
Anything Shakespearian with Forbes-Robertson, Gielgud, Burton or Schofield is bound to be kino.
I'll never forget Fireside's Music Man production. Best Harold HIll I've ever seen. He was older, charming, but devious. Every scene was perfectly balanced between being genuine and being manipulative. The guy in the movie is just too nice.
Makes perfect sense. Probably exactly like the English author's imagined it in their heads.
The one you posted is fricking glorious.
what
There’s a new Romeo and Juliet stage production that Cinemaphile has been posting a lot of negative reactions to. Cinemaphile rarely posts about theater, so this is kinda cool
I'm German so most """high art""" theatre here is naked people screaming random shit while bodypainting each other.
To add to that, the greatest production I ever saw was a near seven hour adaption of Faust.
sounds kino. only a matter of time till they start picking up swords and attacking italians in the theatre
It's so sad what happened to German theatre. Do they even play Kleist and Goethe normally anymore?
Man, those israelites were just merciless post-war, huh?
peformance art was germany's biggest blunder in history
I really loved Dear Evan Hansen on Broadway. There was not a single dry eye in that theater.
Saw Isabelle Huppert in Mary Said What She Said last week. Way more intense than I anticipated but guess I should have known since she only picks intense roles. Was cool to see her in person
Kevin Spacey did a great Richard III when he was at the Old Vic.
his performance really touched a lot of people.
I was 16 at the time and he didn’t even try to molest me. It was a bit insulting if I’m honest
Cinemaphile isnt taking an interest in theatre lmao. all this is is culture war flavour of the week. if something like this happened in the pottery world, theyd be just as involved online with that as they are this
>if something like this happened in the pottery world, theyd be just as involved online with that as they are this
Nah, I think part of the reason they keep posting about this one is because if they post a pic and make a thread without elaborating, they can pretend it's gonna be a movie.
The only 2 stage performances I've seen are Disney's Aladdin and Book of Mormon.
Why is there no threatre board? inb4 "there is it's called /lgbt/"
Cinemaphile posts about plays a lot, not even just Shakespeare
It would be the slowest board by a mile.
I’m fairly sure you can’t take that crown from /po/
>posted 2754 days ago
I forget it's even a board. I still think a /the/ board would give it a run though. Weeb autists can do origami from home, how many Cinemaphileners are regularly getting out to the theatre and dying to discuss the latest play they saw? Those that are will just make a slightly off-topic thread on an active board and would get more discussion in a night than they would in a month on a theatre board.
I love /po/
Mods delete everything and backup old threads.
We tried to kill the board last time the clock thread was about to fall off.
/po/ will die one day
I will be there to shit on them when it does.
You'd be surprised.
Pretty sure that's just spread evenly across Cinemaphile, Cinemaphile and Cinemaphile. You're most likely to get good discussions of it on Cinemaphile, for obvious reasons.
We should get a podcast board before a theater board.
It's hard to discuss live theatre
Anyway on topic I saw a production of the Master and Margarita at the Barbican in 2013 and it was transcendental
I saw A View from the Bridge one time. It was excellent.
>man falls in love with much younger relative
Relatable.
West Side Story (1961) is the best musical I've ever seen, I saw a stripped-down version of "Into The Woods" that was decent, Roman Polanski's MacBeth is a genuine masterpiece despite him being a piece of shit.
I watched "Slings and Arrows" a few months ago on AMC+ and it was really good and had a lot of early-mid 2000s nostalgia. Really great show about the theater and why people do it.

Lol. I only read the Wikipedia years ago and I loved the story . Is the Anthony Hopkins movie worth watching?
Worth a watch
I was in time square for a month and I didn't go a single time.

>he doesn't know about the TKTS booth
Phantom of the Opera
the 2004 adaptation fricking sucks apart from the main song, why haven't they made a new one?
Is Titus adronicus in youtube?
Thought this was a fun video
I saw The Motive And The Cue back in march and it was absolutely amazing, Johnny Flynn and Mark Gattis both gave stellar performances, and the direction by Sam Mendes was more dynamic than anything I'd seen before
really good stuff, both actually on stage and the filmed version they did for ntlive. gatiss as gielgud was 10/10 casting.
I like Coriolanus.
My favorite film of all time is Waiting for Godot (2001)
?si=AKW2rpQdRPJNjkTL
, an adaption of the play by the same name. Faust (1994)
?si=dWqy9vicGEUhQp1u
, is a rougher adaption of the play Faust which I am also fond of. To be frank, I only consume modern media through reviews. I haven't really watched anything modern in probably over a decade. I hear the Waiting for Godot play with Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen was also quite good, but it seems to have gone with a more jovial tone I would not prefer.
why didn't they just go to Godot instead?
To roughly quote the author of the book, 'The only thing certain about this story is that it involves a boot'. Now in this interpretation, I personally believe it's rather clear why they wouldn't. I sincerely recommend you watch the film, but if you can't bring yourself to watch it entirely then here's
?si=T4zbWYRKTnV6Le5t
the ending seven minutes. Your interpretation will be more interesting than my explanation.
Cinemaphile believes that stage play is a movie
