I hope we can see more video clips from the play for those living in out of the way places and who can’t get to see the play.

The torture scene when the phone rang and Padriac asks his torture victim to hang on just had me in stitches of laughter. That was just so hilarious, and quite insane.

I have read the synopsis of the play on Wikipedia and there were moments where I found myself laughing and crying at the same time – crying because of the violence and cruelty and laughing because of the perfectly “sane”, “logical” reasons given for the actions. I suspect that, if I could see the play in person, my face would be awash with tears of laughter and shock and despair all at once.

Anyway, continued good luck with the performances, Chris Pine and co.!

I didn’t hear Chris Pine talk much at all. Being half-and-half (Northern and Southern Irish), the accents didn’t seem bad at all. One of the worst Irish accents I’ve ever heard in cinema came from Gabriel Byrne, and he was born not far from where I live right now, so go figure.

As an aside, my home town was today named the fourth UNESCO City of Literature, so if by some happenstance Chris Pine happens to find himself performing in Dublin, I’d try to go. I’m a big fan of his Kirk. I felt he portrayed his character even better than Quinto’s job of Spock.

Saw it last Sunday – very funny black comedy. Pine, along with the rest of the cast, is very good.

GWAR!!! Haha, I’ve actually been to one of their shows. Somehow I doubt it’s anything like that but still, sounds interesting. Wish I could go see it. And Chris looks hotter there than he did in ST09. :D
