Imelda just delivered the goods on Some People.

Looks like three cameras with real focus on closeups of  the actors

this is looking to be a fabulous recording.....

I'm not sure whether this has been posted elsewhere, but Lara Pulver (Louise) has tweeted that it will be on PBS at some point.

Just finished watching the broadcast and it was an extremely good and tight production. Very well filmed too. Congrats to all involved. Hope it's released on DVD / BluRay.

Imelda delivered a very earthy gritty and tough mamma rose 

entire cast delivered...

Imelda's final scene was beyond heartbreaking. So many of her choices were fascinating, especially her screaming "Don't be like June" and nearly strangling Louise. I'm sure Arthur Laurents would have a field day with the few times she teared up before the final scene. haha!

I will say that the pacing of Act 1 was insane. I felt like I blinked and it was over. They lost a few jokes here and there, but it was pretty great production with a killer performance by Imelda. So happy it was preserved.
