You Gimme Fever
Apr. 5th, 2009 10:54 amWhen I arrived at the Royal Court to pick up my guest tickets, I caught the two pretty boys at box office winking at each other. One had blue eyes and a Gary Numan receding hairline; the other looked like the bastard child of Princess Diana and Pierce Brosnan. I smiled at them. The boy with blue eyes asked how he could help me and then proceeded to wink again - but this time it was awkward, like he wanted to include me in his previous exchange and yet didn't know what my reaction would be, if I would go along with it. I pretended not to see it.
I'd spoken to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
desayuno_ingles just a second before, outside, on her mobile. She was on her way to join Kevin and us for some serious, 90-minute long Wallace Shawn monologue starring Claire Higgings, called The Fever.
I spent most of the play trying to place Claire's face (but not too long, her delivery was impeccable). Had she worked at the National when I was there? Had I seen her on a recent BBC drama? A quick Google search this morning and I'm surprised to learn that she starred in the first two Hellraiser films.
Wallace Shawn was also in the audience. He gave autographs afterwards and chatted to anyone who was interested.desayuno_ingles reminded me that he starred in The Princess Bride. I reminded her that he also starred in My Dinner with Andre. Kevin reminded us that My Dinner with Andre action toys appear in Waiting for Guffman.
