Emma Thompson Vs. Penelope Keith
Propaganda
Emma Thompson - (Fortunes of War, Tutti Frutti, Angels in America) - Does Emma Thompson even need an introduction? Brilliant actress, stunning looks and an absolutely fun and hilarious personality. What more can you ask?
Penelope Keith - (To the Manor Born, The Good Life, Executive Stress) - Penelope Keith is, in my opinion, one of THE most underrated british television actresses. She's incredibly funny, tall, very very elegant (in a way that makes you wonder: do I want to be her or do I want to be WITH her?) and has what might be the clearest, nicest sounding elocution I ever heard. Like I said, everything about her screams elegance!! And did I mention how funny she is? Because put her in any role and she *will* make you laugh. Anyway check out these videos to see her in action (videos below the cut)

matilda the musical was beautiful in a way that was so personal. a neurodivergent kid going through horrible abuse reaches out to her teacher who grew up abused and is still subjected to that abuse daily. one teaches the other how to stand up against injustice, the other shows her how to accept and show affection. all set to tim minchin's genius songs. emma thompson yells about having a newt in her knickers. it's a cinematic masterpiece.
