The last time I read casting that perfect it was David Tennant and Catherine Tate doing MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING.

I believe that was filmed and that I encountered it online. Maybe that's a post.

It’s on archive.org, yeah. And tremendous.

Dominic Monaghan seems like he’s spent 20 years at Burning Man?

A friend of mine just roadtripped up to Toronto to see this show.

I just saw the show and it was basically perfect.

Saw the show last week: utterly fantastic, and I've seen R&G live six or seven times now and this is by far the best rendition I've ever seen.

I really do love how a number of the LOTR actors are still good friends. You can tell it was a life-changing experience for a lot of them.

Well, I've never wanted to be in Canada more in my life.

Yeah, I'm jealous. RAGAD is my favorite play. I've only seen it once live, and it was good (Ros and the Player especially) but not great (Guil needed work).

I initially read Roz and Gil (Chesterton) from Frasier. So it took a sec.
