What play(s) would you like to see Geoffrey in?
On watching clips of Geoffrey in 'Exit the King' and then going on to read the play, I started musing on what other plays I'd like to see Geoffrey take on.
After reading 'Exit the King', I moved on to another Ionesco play called 'The Killer' and thought this to be one of the potentials - although the protagonist is also called Berenger, the same one as in ETK, albeit in a different form (Ionesco used him as a semi-autobiographical character in several of his plays).
I'd also like to see him take on Ira Levin's Deathtrap, and think he'd be great in the role of Sidney Bruhl. It's got a very twisty-turny plot, takes the audience in many unexpected directions and has the concept of being a play within a play.
Or, having seen 'The Eye of the Storm' trailer and seeing the humour in it, I'd like to see him take on something along the lines of Noel Coward and Oscar Wilde (I know he's already done 'The Importance of Being Earnest and is set to do it again later this year). As well as the social and human commentary that underscores many of their works, there's loads of acerbic wit and wicked one-liners which I'd love to see Geoffrey play with given that has such a delicious way with words and that mischievous, and sometimes devious, twinkle in his eyes.
