Happy birthday
ataniell93 and
tinewen. I know they were both yesterday, but I hope they were great!
Last week I went to see Faith Healer which was really interesting, and not only because the cast of three was Cherry Jones, Lord Voldemort and Emperor Palpatine.
You would think that those last two would be distracting, but you couldn't really look at Ralph Fiennes or Ian McDiarmid and see either Evil Supervillain in this play because they both disappeared into their characters. It's the story of an Irish Faith Healer whose powers sometimes work and sometimes don't, and his tragic return to Ireland.
It made me think about fact vs. fiction, or more specifically, that one of the best things ( about fiction is its limits. )
