OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD

did you see that michelle williams was there today? 

the show is so incredible and it sounds like you enjoyed it ;)

I didnt know that! Maybe we were part of the same terribly endless bathroom line!

The show is incredible and Ben Whishaw as John Proctor… just wow. So much raw energy. And Saoirse Ronan was just absolutely electric. I loved it! The costume design and setwork and the symbolism imbibed through even just the lighting was incredible and breathtaking.

That all sounds incredible! I’m beyond excited.

Be excited! It’s a wonderful, intense show in an incredibly charming theatre!

i had two friends in the audience today too and they also texted me with “ben… wow… wow” like they basically had no words

that is also precisely how i felt. i told you, i know my praise sounded very much exaggerated but it’s not! he’s that good! i’m still surprised myself! 

I’ve always been such a huge fan of Ben Whishaw’s work- particularly since Brideshead. He’s wonderful in the Bond films but seeing him stretch his legs in films like Lilting and performances like Cock is amazing, and The Crucible is by far my favorite performance of his yet.

i’ve seen maybe… 7 of his projects? so not that many at all, and certainly never live until the crucible, but i cannot imagine anything ever topping that. i don’t even know if it’s possible to top it. 

You guys are getting me even /more/ excited! I’m ready to be emotionally slayed by the Whishaw.
