3.) Just got out of "The Picture of Dorian Gray" where my phone was BLOWING UP in my pocket - I really thought something was wrong and was freaking me out lol

Now if only it weren't for that darn restraining order!

I loved that production, but actually thought it was quite straightforward and not at all outlandish. But yea, I’d love to see this pair in that production.

I loved that production as well and was rather surprised it didn't transfer. One of Gold's best productions, imo.
"...everyone finally shut up, and the audience could enjoy the beginning of the Anatevka Pogram in peace."
Add me to the chorus of people who loved the Sam Gold production.
This DenzelGyllenhaal pairing is the rare production of a play that could go into a Shubert "musical house" (the Imperial?) and still sell out at sky-high prices because of those two stars.

Literally me reading the news today. I mean Denzel and Kenny just seem so "been there, done that.""
In their defense, Denzel and Kenny are at their best when working together. Fences and Raisin were both top-notch. I didn't find Denzel as impactful when he worked with George C Wolfe on Iceman

Definitely one of his best, but more pointedly, his best revival. I feel his original production of new material land so much better than his revivals, Othello was his rare hit revival.

Denzel plays it pretty safe with directors. He seems to like working with the same people he trusts time and time again (Antoine Fuqua, Spike Lee, Ridley Scott, the late Tony Scott & Jonathan Demme, etc), and has had a consistent film-producing partner for years (Todd Black). It was an exciting surprise when he decided to work with a Coen brother on the Macbeth film, but in that case he had a producer who he trusted enormously, Scott Rudin.
There's a decent chance he doesn't sign onto a version of Othello directed by someone more avant-garde like Ivo Van Hove or Sam Gold or Rebecca Frecknall, unless he feels really comfortable with them.
