>>201 Can you say more about the anecdote (only if you're comfortable doing so, of course)? And what else did you find funny in the article?
Yes, so mysterious how that worked. Helena Bonham Carter was at one of the other public performances earlier in the week. Maybe there were celebrity smack-downs happening in the parking lot to see who would get a returned ticket!
That does help about "too RADA" - I was guessing it was something like "affected, too stagy," and so forth.
