Fun fact! Bill, Chiwetel and Andrew all went for pizza on Southbank, London, after recording this conversation, as they used to do when they were performing in Blue/Orange at the National Theatre.

If Bill Nighy just read a phonebook, I probably would be entertained. I wish I could see film of everything he ever performed, whether stage, movies or tv. Maybe, someone will make a documentary.

@bluecowboyyoga 3 года назад

I thought about simply listening to this and letting it play like a podcast while I went about 'tasking'-I'm so glad I didn't and really one can't. Their conversation is so lovely, refreshing, honest-and expressive. Which is why one really has to *watch* this to appreciate all of it. Thank you for sharing it NT :)))

@charlesanderson2213 3 года назад

What a pleasure to see the cast of Blue/Orange together again. One of my favourite theatrical experiences of the last 20 years. The love of the craft, and their amazing life stories, made this conversation a joy. Cannot wait to get back to the theatre.

@annethomas5727 3 года назад

I wish the National would run Blue Orange again as I clearly missed a wonderful play, I assume it would have to be recast but their discussion is a great advert for it, So enjoyed this discussion appreciate all three actors, Bill Nighy is such a good raconteur. Thanks for putting this on.

@marjoriehayes2906 3 года назад

I think they could all play those roles again.

@helenl3193 2 года назад

It does sound like it was a very intense show and probably very draining as a result, so I wouldn't blame them of they didn't want to revisit it, but I'd love if they did. I also wonder how their experiences since (both in life as well as professional growth) would colour their performances. It does definitely sound like a play that's just as relevant today (unfortunately)

@MegaPropi Год назад

I think it's safe to assume that the original run was not recorded in any way? There are hardly any photos from it, let alone recordings, to be found on Google...

@amyistlost3862 3 года назад

I saw Blue/Orange and sat on the stage. It was such a powerful experience. I took a group of students. Some of them could not get over the spit in the lights!

@birgittbach3298 3 года назад

It was so good. The openness and connectedness of the three was a touching experience. I will work on my English language skills, because many of the intricacies of the conversation I still had to work hard to learn. Because I don't want to miss anything. I enjoyed this conversation so much. Thank you.

@helenl3193 2 года назад

I hope this isn't condescending to say, especially as a random stranger but, I wouldn't have known from your comment that English isn't your first language if you hadn't said. Kudos on learning a new language - I have dyslexia and REALLY struggle with languages much to my frustration so am always very impressed by others who can master it. I hope your studies have continued well and you're going from strength to strength with it :)

@CasperLCat 4 месяца назад

Andrew’s voice on Walking Dead isn’t just perfectly American and slightly Southern, it often seems to come from a very deep, grave, weary place, that isn’t his real-life placement, judging by his actual voice, here. Very cool.

One day, I'll actually make it to see a play at the National. These conversations are making it more of goal now. Just bloody hard if you don't live within commuting distance of the capital!

@helenl3193 2 года назад

I know it's not exactly the same experience as being there, but FYI they do have an 'at home' option now, for non-Londoners and those of us who have health/accessibility issues. It was such a treat for me when I discovered it as I live in London but struggle to get to the theatre since a back injury a decade ago. Anyway just in case you weren't aware of it because most of my friends weren't :)

@subberfischer 3 года назад

Blue/Orange was one of the best new plays I remember seeing, I knew none of those three actors at the time, very, very memorable. Fantastic stuff, and so relevant.

@upendasana7857 3 года назад

The play blue/orange sounds like a really important play...especially for psychiatrists to see...did any psychiatrists get invited to the production? ...anyway,I wished I'd have seen it because it sounds like the kind of conversations that need to be had about "mental health","madness or psychosis ...guess I'm gonna have to go and read the play.Such a shame that we cannot see dramas or plays like this on TV ...so many TV dramas are utterly without substance or deal with the kind of pressing subjects that they use to in the 70/80's as I remember even as a kid. Maybe the National could do one of those streaming into cinemas of this play so we all could see it again ? that would be great !!

And Hopkins nicked it from Steve McQueen who did it in the Fifties in one of the `Alfred Hitchcock Presents` episodes: `Man From the South`. I LOVED it when McQueen did it and he did it to the actress who became his wife (Neile Adams).

He's talking about professional actors who do what they do as a job. Nowadays you have way too many touchy feely emotional kids trying to become actors because they're lazy and they don't want to do anything else, and so they don't want to learn their lines

It is great that they addressed being a black man in Britain, and homosexuality, because nobody else in the UK media or arts ever talks about such things
