Run Daniel…towards season 2 😎 https://t.co/g0ivFIL1H2 — Richard Armitage (@RCArmitage) February 8, 2017 //platform.twitter.com/widgets.js

I was trying to think of an original way to send  ‘Seasons Greetings’ to all my fellow Richard Armitage fans. After some deliberation, I decided to (badly) re-write the ‘Twelve Days of Christmas’ to celebrate the twelve plus years I have followed his career. [Apologies to anyone whose favourite R.A. character appeared before 2004!]

“As a scriptwriter I am simply an architect sketching out blueprints. It remains to the actor to breathe life into the characters, the world and the story I describe in nothing more than words. Richard’s ability to do that is quite extraordinary. He brings a vast theatrical experience to the performance without ever appearing theatrical. His subtle uses of voices and accents makes the story real. I don’t know how he manages it, or how he appears to make it so easy — which it isn’t. I’m just grateful he does what he does.”     David Hewson

Connie : Lucas North I presume. Welcome back. Lucas : Thank you.

The moment that Richard is signing your LLL program and you have no thought but to say “I’ve been a fan since North and South” and he says “Awww thank you” and you try to get a selfie with him but forget how to camera. STILL - pretty amazing :’)

As for the play - I loved it - lots of laughs, even though the subject matter was really quite dark. Richard played 19 through 65 like a boss. Amy Ryan was great, as were Zoe and Ben.
