We did it in the round, some 35 years ago, I played the dead body. I loved the sound of the play, but of course I've never really seen it, face in a dusty carpet.

I played Moon at my small high school's production. The English teacher told me to say "fellow" instead of "bastard" at the very end. Of course I said "bastard".

[@douglasthedrakeDSD]

I played Birdboot in 1994. We had a lower and upper stage. Main show was on the main stage, Moon and I were on the lower stage facing away from the audience with a mic between us. I thought we did better, but it's fun to see.

I love how talkative they are for their backstories, this was very clever!

[@jonbrown1502]

If they made a dvd for this play, I'd have bought it. Talented cast especially the two critics.

[@Madda640]

I played Simon at high school 25 years ago. Ahh the memories! Great play.

[@shakawalker9921]

I played moon in high school

[@edwardstudor4983]

Only TStoppard play I could find on YTube and it was excellent. Clear sound, very good video production and well acted. 10/10.

[@constanzegunther8276]

Excellent! I was Cynthia some 30 years ago (in German :)) Still love Albert.

[@demoside744]

I'm playing Birdboot in my school's production of this play. He's very fun to play, just like the entire show!

[@ffestivelizzie]

Yeah! We actually just finished the casting of this production! I will be playing Mrs. Drudge and I am so excited!

[@PrestonOlsonIsHere]

Possibly the finest Birdboot since the war-

[@banya99]

Yes... Yes...

[@baraaal-hakmani4201]

the most beautiful play I have ever seen ...and the most beautiful and excellent actors....I really enjoyed it

[@jimbonio222]

Awesome production. Love Magnus' trigger discipline near the end.

[@lukacunningham342]

(SPOILERS FOR THE ENDING) Puckeridge was Major Magnus Muldoon but The Major was also Albert and there is a photo of Albert Muldoon on the wall, so how come Moon didn’t recognize the photograph?

[@DRUGGEDpigYUM]

Accents could do with some work but the acting as a whole was great

[@abhiman_info]

Very nice

[@SmilesWalker]

I played "Moon" in high school 2007

[@lukacunningham342]

Wait till Myrtle watches this!

[@kikkerdriel]

excellent execution! it was hilarious!!

[@regmunday8354]

Amazing set.

[@ravenwyld]

I was in this play in highschool 😅

[@takethetrashaway263]

this is fantastic in my opinion

[@tigerboy1966]

Great work lads. No-one is ever going to measure up to Briers and Barker in the OSP but I thought that the actor playing Birdboot was very good.

[@peterheke]

Love this Moon, but he's too fast in his delivery.

[@elliebakker1342]

Birdboot is really standout in this

[@GREENROOMMUSICAL]

you might love our "backstage" musical

[@thejonbrownshow8470]

I think this could sell on DVDs maybe close to as well as the Madea plays xD

[@the_alex_ellis_channel6923]

I'm glad that you have stayed true to the original play by faking English accents. Are they perfect accents? No. But with more practice actors will improve. Mainly need to work on pronouncing some word the same way English people do, "Cunningham" was a particular example. Despite this I am glad that you have kept the story English and not tried to "Americanize" it.

[@Veronica.John10-10]

but...where IS HIGGS???

[@jmlee8919]

What does it mean by "fo~~~g!" in 34:00? Please, explain for me!

[@GabrielNagmay]

It seems that she thinks he misunderstood the first "fog" as "dog". From the script: FELICITY I don't know-it's just a feeling. CYNTHIA It's only the fog. MAGNUS Hound will never get through on a day like this. CYNTHIA [Shouting at him.] Fog! FELICITY He means the Inspector. CYNTHIA Is he bringing a dog?

[@jmlee8919]

@@GabrielNagmay thank you! You are genius!!!

[@gothamsreckoning8391]

Can we trade Simons, ours is very monotone... and sounds like a mix of Russia’s and Australian...

[@bobsanders9114]

Very nice, but no dramaturg, I expect, nor a dialect coach. Big tell: Chateauneuf du Pape is NOT pronounced Chateauneuf du Papé. It's ( to an American ear) Chateauneuf du Paap..... A little overacting, but overall a good shot, even though Moon is way overdoing it. Nice set and good imagination.

[@andykaye9133]

Great acting- but they can't do English regional or middle class accents

[@mackiereyes7574]

Oh man. Rough acting. The script is funny though

[@benrichards399]

the ginge is annoyingly over acting.

[@stevecharman8420]

I know this is a staple of small repertory companies but to me it's a highly overrated play. It's neither absurdist , nor realist, nor even a very good parody, just an unsatisfying hodgepodge. The lack of anything but an occasional titter from the audience reveals that it doesn't really make it as a comedy either.

[@patrickdaniel4809]

Terrible. Truly.

[@Kdizzy]

Mean and unnecessary. Truly.

[@tyrionjack4423]

That's the point
