delphipsmithBehold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will squeeeee!! to all people: Alan Rickman is on Broadway in a play called "Seminar" and oh my, check out the character he's playing LOL!!
"But that’s nothing compared to the verbal flatulence that fills the air once Leonard [Rickman] arrives, trailing weary contempt and sexual charisma. A once celebrated novelist, Leonard is now best known as an exacting editor, teacher and grandstanding chronicler of life in danger zones in third-world countries (Moldova, Rwanda, Somalia), where he stares down 'the most terrifying nihilism this planet has to offer'...[but] Leonard reserves his most annihilating eloquence for shredding the egos of his students."
Hmmm, let me think: weary contempt, sexual charisma, and an eloquence that annihilates his students? Now what other snarky teacher does that remind us of?? I MUST SEE THIS!
You can read the rest of the review here. Have I mentioned I'm excited??
