I watched Doubt last night. I had no idea it was a play first. I was watching the Special Features afterward, and listening to these accomplished actors talk about the play as well, and I was so overcome with the longing for theater.
If you haven't seen the movie Doubt, see it. What a heartfelt, provocative, edgy, and surprising script. And with that cast....I watched the entire movie like I was in a 100 seat theater, on the edge of my seat the entire time. I have long admired Phillip Seymour Hoffman, and in my opinion he is one of the greatest actors of this generation. Put him next to Meryl Streep who is without a Doubt one of the most humanizing actresses to grace the screen and stage.....it was a powerful, moving bit of film.
As I watched the interviews with the actors, I was pulled right back into the love I have always had for the art of acting. This movie reinvigorated my passion for the craft, and made me realize that I have missed the theater in my life in the last few years.
There are a lot of little milestones I need to hit here before I am settled enough to even think about auditioning for a production, but I am putting it back on my horizon.

i still haven't seen the movie, but i read the play a few years ago and was totally taken by it. i love me some shanley.
just the thought of psh & meryl streep (and amy adams!) in the movie makes my theatre nerves get all tingly.
i want the two of them to have a love child fetus implanted in my uterus.
That is wierd that you would say that. I actually am the love child fetus of PSH and Streep.
