This guy should be the next James Bond

[@Heidiblackrose84]

Yeah he should

I learned so much about this play and this actor by watching this 5 minute video. What a man. I've never heard him as grounded - and quietly proud.

Just watched this through digital theatre's website. Richard Armitage's performance was powerful and heartbreaking at the same time. Thank you for the interview post. He's an insightful actor that utterly gives himself into his roles.

I could'nt find the crucible on dvd. Arghh, this ITW makes it even regretful. A huge actor and comedian, talented, elegant, cerebral and yet, modest. To put it in a nutshell : I'm a big RA fan :)

[@NJPetersen]

I was there. It was powerful.

Как приятно слушать спокойный голос Ричарда.Он завораживает!💜🌹

Really insightful interview into character development, Richard's performance was memorizing, now beginning to understand how John was created, not just from words on a page, but to be a physical incarnation of Miller's imagined colonist farmer .

WONDERFUL BRITISH MAN

[@alyssacollinwood2386]

I was able to watch the play on RUclips and I cried in acts 2 and 4

[@andreakonigsmann6685]

Thanks a lot for this, takes me right back to The Old Vic!!

If they reboot WOLVERINE he's the only actor I will support for it. No one on earth looks and sounds as much like Hugh as well as has an amazing deep voice that would make for a PERFECT Wolverine. Get this man a contract and fitness trainer and I'll pull out my wallet to buy tickets. MAKE IT HAPPEN!

[@fiedelmina]

he does not need a fitness trainer.

[@ParanormalSock]

The next doctor

[@PattyHale]

Wow............

[@Tina-is4ry]

Could be more R.A. around the world.

[@Heidiblackrose84]

What is the main theme of the play

[@Hanzmeister21]

Salem Witch trials is the main . Alongside adultery x

[@CarolynsReadingRamblings]

Hannah Rogers and communism was a major factor at the time Miller wrote it so it is sort of his analogy for it.
