Went for The Winter's Tale at the Esplanade. The setting, music and acting was good, except I couldn't really catch what they were saying (apart from the Rogue's dialogue because he was speaking normal English instead of the ye' ole English or something)
Bigshot names include: Sam Mendes, Ethan Hawke and Josh Hamilton! Ethan Hawke was so so hilarious. The quality and ability of his to change his voice is amazing. In the role it was husky and deep (and his singing totally left me enraptured) and his normal voice in the Q&A session was so attractive and melodious!
He's really talented as well -- Movie star, theatre actor, novelist, musician of sorts(?) And through the Q&A you can tell he really loves acting and he is smart too. Amazing! Such plays let me have such deep respect and awe for theatre and acting.
P/S: Minor gripe --I was sitting in front of this United Nations row of sorts with teens of different ethnicity and all. And they just kept murmuring, whispering and disturbing me. It was already hard to catch what they were saying on stage and this just topped the cake.
There's this guy.. dork. And he was trying so hard to play cool and be witty but it just falls lame. Probably try'na impress the girls. He really is a dork. When Ethan Hawke came out with a guitar in the play he went "wooohooo oh yeaaa!" Sure, guitar's like your thing. Like, ok. Like, stop like talking already?
