Marlise Boland is on it.
Thank you, Marlise. I appreciate all that you’re doing!
Whoever gets my organs…
I will perhaps be an organ donor some day. For now, it’s on my driver’s license that I’m willing. If you’ve read much of my blog, you know why, and frankly, it is the very least I can do to give back. But lately I’ve wondered what would happen to my organ recipient, since SO has expressed an interest in foods he never liked before, and lo and behold his organ donor loved those same foods.
Then I see this:

I hope whoever gets my organs is prepared to be a complete nut about talk, dark Englishmen who have fantastic voices and who look like this:
Dear Rich,
I would say this whether The Crucible gets a download in the U.S. or not; however, someone’s head is going to roll if we don’t. Metaphorically speaking that is. :D
Realistically speaking it means there will be those who watch the download whether it occurs in the U.S. or not. And the sad truth is that most of them will do it for free.
Signed,
A crazy fan who would prefer to pay for the privilegeP.S. Can you pitch a fit to ensure we get a download in the U.S.? *trying to think of some appropriate American slang for this*
P.P.S. Just so you know, I do very much appreciate what you’ve done so far for the fans. Maybe just a little fit? :D
note: I got the image from this Pinterest board. I would dearly love to know where it is from originally. Someone please, please tell me.
The Old Vic has heard us!
#TheCrucible will be available to buy as a download and watch online around the world + screened in selected cinemas

Some of My Favorite #AskArmitage Tweets for September 12
The control freak in me is begging to do this, so I’ve relented.
My favorite questions for the September 12th #AskArmitage Twitter event:
@oldvictheatre #AskArmitage What is the most surprising aspect of playing John Proctor?

@oldvictheatre @RCArmitage #AskArmitage if you could play any other character in the crucible, which character would you choose and why? :)

@oldvictheatre @RCArmitage what's something from this experience that you think will stick with you for a long time to come? #AskArmitage

Would you like to step behind the camera or direct a play in the future, for a change? If so, what? #AskArmitage @oldvictheatre @RCArmitage

#AskArmitage Music having played a big part in your life, do you foresee it becoming part of your onscreen or stage performances?

@oldvictheatre #AskArmitage If Proctor, Guy of Gisborne and Thorin were put together in a room, what do you think that would happen?
— Rita Oak (@OakRita) September 2, 2014
I did not see one of these, so I had to ask!
. @oldvictheatre #AskArmitage Hoping @RCArmitage can answer even in some small way if there will be future performances of #TheCrucible ?

I’m sure some others have asked this, but I didn’t see any. Plus, it doesn’t hurt to get it in more than once. :D
You should write about The Crucible. EVERYONE should write about it.
Reblogged from MeandRichard
I couldn’t agree more — even if you don’t publish it for the world.
You should write about The Crucible. EVERYONE should write about it.
The reason that I have been trying to link every longer fan reaction to the play that I have found on a blog or site — and I look for new ones every day — is that I’m trying to create a broad record of the reactions to the play by non-professionals. No one should take my decision to write about the play myself as a signal that I think others should not write about it. I will continue to search for other reactions and link them here in order to do what I can to assure that more people see them. Everyone will have a different one — because really, everyone is seeing a slightly different play — and we should rejoice in that, in finding as many as possible.
If you do want to publish something and you don’t have a platform, I hope you know that there are plenty of blogs (including this one) that would be happy to do it for you.
A little inspiration:
edit:
If you want to start a blog and need help, I’ll help you, and no, it does not need to be a Richard Armitage blog unless that’s what you want.
A Worthy Read
Servetus goes to The Crucible. I am jealous. I’m also not surprised she’s done this. I would do it too if I could!
I wish her every joy of the experience.
Many of you already know about her going, but some of you are new and may not be familiar or very familiar with her. Let me introduce you. She is a fellow RA blogger and one I have read off and on for years. Many of the posts I’ve read are fantastic. This is generally what I’ve thought of them.
And now she is going to let us all in on The Crucible, and I am going to sit back and take it all in, and especially when I consider there may be no Crucible in New York.
This is where I started reading although there may be other posts which should be read before this one. I leave you to ferret that out for yourselves.
Richard Really is My Kind of Guy!
Richard Armitage with a sense of zany. My god he’s broken out of the “Brooding Mr. Darcy I’m too smart and sophisticated to get outrageous” kind of humor. Loving this.
And he wants suggestions!
Click to send yours
Rich,
I’m so proud of you for not being intellectual all the time, and I swear this is not going to kill any of your brain cells no matter how much crying you hear from some quarters.
Oh, you’ve been this way all along? I figured as much. :D
Signed,
One of your crazy fans who wishes she had figured out sooner not to take herself so seriously all the time.P.S. Is this another charity challenge? Inquiring minds can’t help but ask. ;-)
To Someone Going to The Crucible on September 2nd…
One of you sent me a private message or an email or some form of online communication where you said you were going to the play the same day as the “In Conversation” event, but you did not have a ticket to the talk. I’ve looked in vain for your communication but don’t remember who you are. Please get in touch with me as I might have a ticket for you. I’ll tell you whom it’s from if it works out.
If you send me a note or message, I will cross check against my others, so no fakers here. :D
That is all.
Meg Sees The Crucible Again
Some of you remember Meg from back in June. Well, she got to see The Crucible again and shares the experience in great detail. Enjoy:
Thursday, 21 August 2014
London – food, friends and Richard Armitage.
I wish that I could say that yesterday’s weather was lovely – the one time I actually dress for the sunny weather, a chilly breeze decided to appear, so thanks for that mother nature!
(I want this bus…badly. And it’s contents too if possible!!)Read the rest here
And Meg is far from alone in attending more than once. There are some people who have attended upwards of eight times. At least eight is the most viewings I know about. I’ll bet there are some who have attended more. :D
Some of you (and you know who you are) need to share publicly what it’s like to see this several times. If you’re not comfortable, I completely get it, but I hate that there are only a handful of us who have gotten to hear about it. Those of us who are not able to attend will take all the crumbs we can get. We may be deluded into thinking we might make a loaf out of it somehow. :p
Bracing Myself, But Not Quite Yet
Since I’m up again at 3am and bored out of my mind, I come with a revision to a theory. About two weeks ago, I said that we would get news of Richard Armitage’s next project by the end of this month and a good chance it would happen by the middle of the month. I may be erroneously second guessing myself, but I’m going to revise that prediction to the end of September.
I’m changing the timelines because I forgot something key in how Richard Armitage generally does things with his work. And as he’s a creature of habit like most of us, I think he’ll stick to this pattern with his next project. I think an announcement will be more likely in September because we won’t hear anything until it’s something he is already doing or very near doing by the time we hear about it. That means it has to be after The Crucible ends. Yep, that’s what I’m thinking. Any thoughts on what this could be? I’ve been leaning toward the Uhtred role, but I haven’t been paying as much attention to what’s out there as I used to, so I’m curious what y’all think.
Richard,
I’d be happy for you to make a liar out of me and announce something in the next two weeks. Whatever you end up doing, do you think in all your negotiations that you could have mercy on the North American bunch and have a run in The Crucible in New York sometime in the next year? I heard there wasn’t going to be a DVD, so I’m really smarting and need a fix with a live performance.
Signed,
Your Crazy Fan who would gladly make a trip to NYC to see you. :DP.S. I don’t care when the performance is. I’m just anxious.
Note: I love the pensive photo of Richard, but I honestly don’t know whom to credit for it or the enhancement to it. Help me if you know. Thanks.
