The description of the play makes it sound a bit iffy to me. I feel like it could go either way. But sign me up regardless! I loved Radcliffe in H2S and Inishmaan, and I'd love to see him live again. I'm constantly becoming more and more impressed and how willing he is to take on challenging roles and interesting projects.

"This provocative theatrical event will ask audiences to charge their phones, leave them ON during the performance"



No thanks.

I am only keeping my phone on if it means Daniel Radcliffe will be giving me his number.



...Or Rachel Dratch. I'd like to hang out with her.

Is it safe to say this could be something they would be looking to transfer over to Broadway?

Groooooooooaaaaaaannnn. The theater is my last refuge where I can disconnect and not check email. I hope this does not become the next "thing."



Thanksbutnothanks.

I very much doubt it. Sounds like it's headed to the Donmar in London.

Ah, my bad. I missed that and was going off the fact that it was a co-production. I still don't really think it sounds like something that would be aiming for Broadway, but who knows!

I've seen him in Equus, Inishmaan and How to Succeed and I think he is quite good on stage.

^I'll second that! I didn't get to see him in Equus, but I did see him in the other 2, and I thought he did a great job in both.



I know this is sort of off-topic, but for a couple years now, I've had this dream of seeing Radcliffe play Hamlet (or do any Shakespreare).

That is a great idea!

String him up! he's stealing roles from true stage actors.. Sarcasm.

I don't remember where, but I'm almost positive I have heard or read an interview where he discussed Shakespeare. I don't remember exactly what he said, but the takeaway was that it probably isn't something that will happen. I will see if I can find the interview. I will say I've been curious how he would be with Shakespeare as well. Funnily enough, the playwright that I really wanted to see him work with after I saw him in Equus (I just thought Dan seemed like the kind of person/actor who would really appreciate this playwright's work) was Martin McDonagh, so you can imagine how excited I was to see Inishmaan.



Edit: I guess I was wrong. I don't know if this is specifically what I was thinking of, it is about three years old, but according to this he is interested in Shakespeare and, specifically, Hamlet. https://www.thestage.co.uk/news/2013/daniel-radcliffe-one-day-id-like-to-play-hamlet/
