Rock 'n' Roll: A New Play
Tom Stoppard
I saw Matthew Macfadyen on stage in The Pain in the Itch - tracks - and Kieran Culkin in This is Our Youth - also tracks. But the only time I saw Brian Cox in a play he was the unrepentant Communist Max in Tom Stoppard's Rock'n'Roll... Actually kind of tracks too in its own way.

Three Tall Women

So glad the rights came together so Martha Henry's final performance can be seen by more people... If I'm not mistaken, this is the first pro-shot of Edward Albee's Three Tall Women. It's never been adapted for the screen either. Available internationally. https://t.co/CDbJ4fS8vf
