Happy 54th birthday, Robert Sean Leonard!!!

Happiest of birthdays, sir! You don't have any idea of how much I appreciate your existence and how much I treasure your work (be it on the theatre, tv movies, tv shows, and films). I've talked extensively before of how characters like Neil, Wilson, Housman, Barry Kempler, Danny, and many others have resonated with me; and how your work has changed my life time and time again. In honor of your birthday, I proudly present:

If you want to know more about RSL's stage career, @samnyangie has a very good guide here

PS1: I know he probably won't see this taking into consideration that the man doesn't use social media, and it's almost impossible that he would choose to look at the hellsite, but one can dream

PS2: I chose Elvis Costello's music because he said he liked it on an interview

Lowkey like the idea of Ice being into theater, not in a theater kid way but just as an admirer due to his mom taking him to shows. He's mainly a fan of straight plays but does have a soft spot for the romantic golden age musicals, especially Rodgers & Hammerstein and Lerner & Lowe as well as West Side Story, because his mom would play the cast recordings when he was growing up.

Mav does not get it.

Ice tries to get him into it. He takes him to a local production of The Glass Menagerie. It's one of his favorites, and easy to relate to, but Mav hates it.

"That Tom is an asshole! Not you obviously, in the play. He just leaves his mom and sister when they can't survive without him! That's the message? Leave your family when they need you most? What a dumb ending."

"I think the point is that they're suffocating him, he can only be free to find himself by escaping them and their expectations of him." As he says this, Ice is definitely not thinking of his own father and the plans he's been making for his son since before he was born.

"Bullshit, being alone doesn't free you. It just means there's nobody there to watch your back, worry about you, take care of you. If you're lucky enough to have a family you stick with them, no matter what."

Ice is disappointed Mav didn't like the show, but the insight he's gained into his new boyf... wingman makes up for it.

hello! apologies if this is unwelcome, but i saw you posting about the glass menagerie and i was wondering if you had any specific thoughts on tom's monologue in scene six, especially the closing line ("i'm tired of the movies and i am about to move!"). i've always felt like i've missed something, that it's deceptively simple in the manner of it being about tom's discontent with his own life and wanting to change it, wanting to leave his mother and laura.

JIM: What are you gassing about? TOM: I’m tired of the movies. JIM: Movies! TOM: Yes, movies! Look at them? [A wave toward the marvels of Grand Avenue.] All of those glamorous people – having, adventures – hogging it all, gobbling the whole thing up! You know what happens? People go to the movies instead of moving! Hollywood characters are supposed to have all the adventures for everybody in America, while everybody in America sits in a dark room and watches them have them! Yes, until there’s a war. That’s when adventure becomes available to the masses! Everyone’s dish, not only Gable’s! Then the people in the dark room come out of the dark room to have some adventure themselves Goody, goody! – It’s our turn now, to go to the South Sea Islands – to make a safari – to be exotic, far-off! – But I’m not patient. I don’t want to wait till then. I’m tired of the movies and I am about to move!

Yeah I mean, this is a really interesting bit! I think you're right on that it's Tom expressing discontent with his life and a desire to abscond from the Wingfield home, but we can tease out some really interesting readings if we think about what the 'home,' the 'movies,' the state of being in motion, all represent in the play. What’s immediately being said here—to my understanding—is that ‘movies’ (Hollywood, Clark Gable, &c.) are selling a fantasy of a particular way of living back to ‘the masses’ (if you will) as something of a tool of placation by which what the Wingfield household ideologically stands for comes into being. Williams situates this within a project of nationalism—how we make sense of ‘war’ comes to us through the language of adventure and ‘exotic, far-off’ spaces—and suggests that Tom wants to stop living orthogonal to, or as a spectator of, these narratives, and wishes to begin to inhabit them fully, by ‘moving.’ (Of course, ‘moving’ and the state of being in motion versus stasis is highly problematised in the wider play; by the end, we see Tom both unable to escape Laura and lamenting the fact that ‘time is the longest distance between two places.’ The point is, Tom here is watching a fantasy of American heteronormativity play out in front of him via our quintessentially all-American Jim, and realising that he wants to fully inhabit what the ‘movies’ are representing for him in-text.)

I think we can square this off against the argument I made in ‘Polishing the Statue of Liberty’—that Williams repeatedly figures sex between men, or even sexual liberation more broadly, as equivocal to traversing a frontier; I also think it’s important that Tom ‘going to the movies’ in Menagerie can be understood as signifying his going cruising. His desire for ‘adventure’ and drive to leave (the Wingfield house, the imposition of heteronormativity—he experiences his desire for Jim through Laura as proxy) is part and parcel with his desire for men, and leaving behind ‘the movies’ in order to ‘move’ means at once embarking on ‘adventure’ and homosexuality proper. & as I argue in that piece, these triangulated ideas are nicely boxed up together with the figuring of peripheralised sexual practices as acts of frontier expansionism. It’s a fairly neat example of what I was trying to explain here:

The individual Williams is articulated through and within the land, and the process of individual identity-making (through his infamously heavy autofictional tendencies) is carried out in negotiation with the process of settlement; long after the disappearance of a traditional ‘frontier’ as the whole American continent came under the control of the agents of settler colonialism, the lingering presence of a space which is conquered, ordered, and sustained and a space which exists beyond the processes of ordering and sustention is the key ingredient in articulating anxieties of American sexuality. In name, Williams as the momentum behind such figures as Blanche and Laura and Maggie the Cat becomes not just a man but a body of land; moreso, he becomes the ideology baked into the naming of that body of land as ‘Tennessee.’ As such, Williams’ plays, so frequently preoccupied with the artificial yet brutally enforced social limits of desire against the plenitude of the human spirit, necessarily anchor themselves in the landed space through which those same paradigms of desire that sway their movement must be understood.

TLDR he’s saying he wants to have sex with men lmao.

February 25, 1983

Playwright Tennessee Williams died of an accidental choking, but the police report suggested his use of drugs and alcohol contributed to the death. Williams was 71. (The Glass Menagerie, The Rose Tattoo, The Night of the Iguana, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, A Streetcar Named Desire)

Tenneesee Williams and his Mother meet Elvis on the set of GI Blues, with Hal Wallis and Tom Parker.

jason todd is newly twenty when he gets to go to school again.

he’s a literature major, to nobody’s surprise. takes a couple of electives on the side—woodworking and sociology—and joins the school theater's production of the glass menagerie. he auditions, reads a couple lines, makes friends with the other theater nerds, waits for the cast list to come out and joins them in crowding around it excitedly. he’s cast as tom—"perfect for it," the director says. jason feels a warmth in his chest. fuck yeah he is.

so jason learns his lines and learns his part and learns to follow cues, like any actor does. he laughs with his friends and spends nights in with them, trades his guns for comfort and easy camaraderie, gets his measurements taken by the costumers. it's...rewarding, or something. it's so incredibly normal.

(he'd forgotten what it was like to be normal.)

Theatre Deep Dive: David Tennant in Hurlyburly (1997)

In today's spotlight on David Tennant's theatre career, we'll feature 1997's production of Hurlyburly by David Rabe, and David's role as Mickey.

By 1997, David was coming off two years of successful theatre. In 1995 he'd been nominated for Best Supporting Actor in the MENTA Awards and Best Actor at the British Regional Theatre Awards for his role as Kenny in An Experienced Woman Gives Advice.

In 1996 he'd completed four theatre roles: Tom Wingfield in The Glass Menagerie at the Dundee Rep, and Touchstone in As You Like It, Jack Lane in The Herbal Bed, and Alexander Hamilton in The General From America in Stratford and London for the Royal Shakespeare Company.

He took a day off from The Glass Menagerie rehearsals to go to London to audition for Orlando in As You Like It, and while he didn't get that role, he did bag the role of Touchstone. Follow this link if you want to read most of an extensive essay he wrote about playing that part...while he was playing it!

David won rave reviews for all these roles, including a Theatre Management Award nomination for Best Actor for 'The Glass Menagerie.' His Royal Shakespeare Company performances were all sell-outs, and in particular, his portrayal of Touchstone was noted as a standout performance. And while David had played many previous theatre roles, up to that point Touchstone had been the longest he'd played any part. He inhabited the role of Touchstone for almost an entire year - from 18 April 1996 (his 25th birthday) to the run's close on 29 March 1997. During the run, he'd injured his ankle.

Also, keep in mind he was simultaneously doing his other roles in The Herbal Bed and The General From America! The General From America ran from July to October 1996 in Stratford and from February to April of 1997 in London; The Herbal Bed ran from May to September 1996 in Stratford, and from October 1996 to January 1997 in London.

He was a BUSY boy indeed!

His next role - as Mickey in David Rabe's blisteringly caustic play Hurlyburly, would take him for the first time to the West End's Queen's Theatre (now the Sondheim Theatre). A transfer of the Peter Hall Company's March to April 1997 production at the Old Vic, the Queen's production would run from August to November 1997.

There's a belief in the DT fandom that David played the role of Mickey in both runs - at the Old Vic and at the Queen's. That's false. The only three actors who transferred their roles from the Old Vic were Rupert Graves as Eddie, Andy Serkis as Phil, and Susannah Doyle as Bonnie. David replaced Daniel Craig (yes, THAT Daniel Craig!) as Mickey. At the Old Vic, Stephen Dillane had played Artie, Elizabeth McGovern had played Darlene, and Kelly MacDonald (yes, THAT Kelly MacDonald!) was Donna. At the Queen's, Mark Benton played Artie, Jenny Seagrove played Darlene, and Jessica Watson was Donna.

Photos of Hurlyburly from its Old Vic run

Weirdly, neither Graves nor Seagrove were supposed to star in the Queen's run. Ethan Hawke and Patsy Kensit were!

But Hawke - who would've made his London stage debut - walked out after a day's rehearsal and Kensit followed the next day. So Graves and Seagrove stepped in.

According to its programme, Hurlyburly was originally scheduled to begin previews on 14 August 1997. But because of its casting problems, it seems it began its run a week later, on 21 August? Yet newspapers give dates anywhere from 13 August to 28 August. So I'm really not certain of the exact date.

It was performed with American accents, too!

The director of Hurlyburly was Wilson Milam. Doctor Who fans will recognize the name, as Milam later went on to direct 2003's Scream of the Shalka - a well-known series, one where David featured in an uncredited cameo role as the Caretaker!

Hurlyburly ran for 2 hours and 40 minutes and began at 8pm on Mondays through Saturdays. There was one interval. Its weekday Wednesday matinee began at 3pm, and its Saturday matinee began at 4pm. Tickets ran anywhere from £7.50 to £24.

But what's Hurlyburly about? Set in the Hollywood Hills during the excesses of the 80s, it centers on divorced Hollywood casting directors Eddie and Mickey, and their associates Phil and Artie. In six scenes across the space of twelve months, they hurtle towards self-destruction.

These men hate everything: themselves, their friends, the movie industry, and especially women. Their language pours out in crude torrents of hostility and violence. They snort lines, drink, mistreat women, and shout at each other. A LOT. The women in their lives are just there to use and discard. Their girlfriends are annoying props, other women are sex objects or boring and pitiful, they've abandoned their children, and their ex-wives are the focus of undying and vicious disdain.

The production got rave reviews, and Rupert Graves was nominated for the 1998 Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actor. David also got great reviews! His Mickey made an impression as a "mocking and maddeningly self-possessed," "self-controlled, empty" and "cynical outsider". He thought himself a charming God's gift to women type, but had a "detachment that becomes chilling."

Given the amount of photographs taken from the Old Vic run of Hurlyburly, you'd think there would be more photos taken from its Queen's run featuring David. But…no? There's only this one from the programme, and one of him in a blue shirt:

Now for some Trivia Time! During Hurlyburly's run, its assisant director, Charlotte ­Bond, asked David for a favor. She was going to be involved in a play later that year at the Edinburgh Festival called Tamagotchi Heaven and she wondered if he'd be willing to film a small cameo role for the piece.

He agreed, filmed it in about an hour, and promptly forgot about it - until a 2008 Chain Reaction radio interview he did with Catherine Tate reminded him of it. Because she'd SEEN it, and somehow recognized him from it....even though they hadn't yet met! Here's the interview where they speak of it (it's 2 minutes in):

And that, my friends, is what I know of the story of Hurlyburly. I hope you enjoyed it!

John Turturro—not pretty.”“
