““Whoever heard of cats doing anything useful!”

“Except for staring at one in a supercilious manner,” said Strange. “That has a sort of moral usefulness, I suppose, in making one feel uncomfortable and encouraging sober reflection upon one’s imperfections.””

here is a recording of the aforementioned muscle suit routine. yes, he is skating to “sex bomb.”


there are a few recordings out there and a couple of them are better quality than this, but in my opinion nothing will top the original recording. the reaction from the crowd is especially satisfying and, really, there’s just no replicating that initial surprise.






@темы: hahahaha, figure skating, this is fantastic

I’ve been listening to the My Own Shakespeare podcasts here and look who’s turned up! Had to share!



Musician Jools Holland chooses a passage from Henry IV Part 2 (Act 5 Scene 5) as the piece of Shakespeare which inspires him most. Performed by David Warner and John Heffernan.








Just reblogging because TAGS. Henry V is high up on my Heff wishlist! WANT WANT WANT! (Mind anything would make me happy right now if I’m honest, I got a serious case of the sads yesterday when he tweeted he had no stage work lined up at the moment *cry*)





@темы: anyway, john heffernan, and berowne, and i think he'd do a rather good benedick too, but i really do want, i mean i don't suppose we really NEED another henry v quite yet, shut up claire, the rsc kind of have that covered for a bit though i guess

Lovely new (to me) picture from the Tobacco Factory’s Richard II.



Okay I realise it’s really creepy to reblog people’s posts from two years ago or something (I’M SO SORRY, I’m not really a weirdo I PROMISE, I just really love Heff) but I’ve been looking for something and scouring tumblr for it like crazy but ANYWAY I don’t remember seeing this before and I cannot not reblog perfect ginger beardy beauty like that. Dear. God. In. Heaven. You. Gorgeous. Thing.


(Incidentally does anyone remember that old interview where he talked about auditioning for a Fruit and Nut chocolate advert and having to eat so much of it he made himself ill…? That’s what I was actually looking for. I can’t have imagined it. But where the hell is it?)





@темы: john heffernan, perfect ginger, and you really suit crowns, how are you even allowed, i don't know who i am anymore, i have found beards unattractive my entire life and look at you ruining everything, look at that beard, look at that profile, perfect actor, starting to wonder if it was just a dream i had, still no further forward finding that bloody interview though, ugh you are so lovely, perfect, perfect man
