Tom Joyner is SO GOOD in Maurice, he’s absolutely the Maurice of my imagination. I couldn’t believe it was his first role since leaving drama school.
^^^ SO, SO GOOD, and such a committed, lucid, intelligent performance.
But really all the leads are fucking stellar, utterly excellent, and making this text theirs. (I’m extremely impressed by Max Keeble’s Clive, too: an incredibly mature interpretation, and he’s only 23.) I’m full of all three performances, with no ghost of the film, which must be the highest praise. Two beautiful, brilliant Maurices; so different, both great. And this one has reached its audience, but has no press…
I'm insanely jealous of you, but above all I am absurdly glad that the play has reached out and is actually sold out even with no press. ❤️
