The Top Floor Flat

Just a quick update as I got in late after dancing (my first class in two weeks! Lots of fun, but mostly beginners tonight which are less fun to freestyle dance with).

While I was at Underground Hamlet the other night, they got some guy sitting in the row in front of me to read out part of the script at one point.  I was in the friends/family/press section so I figured it was a friend of the actor and just another way to get the audience involved.  He was particularly good looking but I didn’t really think anything of it.  At the end of the show when they were thanking everyone (“the cast!” *applause* “the director” *applause* “our wonderful audience!” *applause* etc.) they also added “thanks to our special guest cast member Josh Hartnett!” and pointed out the guy sitting in front of me.  I figured it was still part of some cast inside joke as it seemed somewhat unlikely that Josh Hartnett would be attending a midnight showing of Hamlet in London.

Tonight as I went through one of the tube stations, I saw a bunch of posters for a new play that’s opening at the Apollo Theatre featuring Josh Hartnett as one of the leads.  Guess it was him after all.
