Dick Twittington 5: The brief moment of sunshine

This week on my Twitter feed, the Twitter theatricals try to guess the new Artistic Director of the National Theatre, so quite a few tweets to ignore if you're not fixated with London theatre. Of course "quite a few tweets to ignore" describes my feed at the best of times.

Best thing about N Greenwich station: The different *feel* to the crowd each night depending on who's playing the O2. Tonight: Meat Loaf.

"Please be aware this show contains low level lighting." Well DUH, it's a Katie Mitchell show.

@Elsiebrewster My wildcard guess is Daniel Evans, he seems to have done wonders in Sheffield.
12:23 PM - 11 Apr 13

@Elsiebrewster It's tricky to guess cause all the obvious choices (Grandage, Dominic Cooke, Marianne Elliott) have said they don't want it.
12:26 PM - 11 Apr 13

@Elsiebrewster Yeah Sharrock would have been my guess a couple of years ago, she's been a bit low-profile recently.
12:28 PM - 11 Apr 13

@Weez I bet SirKen applies though.
1:14 PM - 11 Apr 13

@Weez @Elsiebrewster I still think Goold knows he's divisive, and the Almeida is an attempt to prove himself for the NT/RSC in 5-10 years.
1:23 PM - 11 Apr 13

@Weez @Elsiebrewster Goold has run a building though - before Headlong he was at Northampton.

Because I have zero self-control, I *have* booked for Jumpers for Goalposts. Going to this Saturday's matinee.
2:57 PM - 11 Apr 13

I can never tell where the queue is at the Maria. Or if there even is a queue. #unreservedseatingwoes
7:16 PM - 11 Apr 13

@Weez an usher actually sorted us into place! Too bad the gap we left for loo acess is now the gap for old ladies to queue-jump into.
7:25 PM - 11 Apr 13

@Weez oh wait now another usher has "improved" things by bringing the back of the q to a new q at the front  *unimpressed face*

Spellcheck doesn't recognise "New Zealand?" I guess Americans have enough trouble remembering Australia exists, let alone the neighbours.
11:05 PM - 11 Apr 13

I've been caught out in the rain twice so far today. At least my third time out I got the brief moment of sunshine.
2:46 PM - 12 Apr 13

Possible Sleb Spot: Lana Wachowski at the Barbican. Or I just assumed some woman was post-op.
7:26 PM - 12 Apr 13

My PVR has mysteriously wiped every programme recorded on it, this is a disastuh!
9:05 AM - 13 Apr 13

Thanks for the stress headache, TFL!

Matinee audience of old ladies applauding and awwwing at two boys kissing <3

The queue to hit Danny in the stomach with a block of wood starts here #thevoice
7:00 PM - 13 Apr 13

"How d'you get the throatiness in your voice?" "Twenty Bensons and a kebab." #thevoice
7:05 PM - 13 Apr 13

"I couldn't live anywhere other than Blackpool." You're on the right show to ensure you get to stay there #thevoice
7:16 PM - 13 Apr 13

"It was too clubby for me. In the sense that I want to club you to death." #thevoice
7:19 PM - 13 Apr 13

William isn't deliberately trolling Danny as much this year, I miss it #thevoice
7:26 PM - 13 Apr 13

Who's more excited? Danny's fans, or Danny at the realisation that he actually has fans? #thevoice
7:28 PM - 13 Apr 13

"I can't stand it when girls cry, I have to jump right in there and get some of that attention." #thevoice
7:36 PM - 13 Apr 13

"People keep telling us to go on #thevoice. Well, they tell us to go somewhere that isn't here, anyway."
7:42 PM - 13 Apr 13

And Jessie manages to repel two vaginas at once. #thevoice
7:46 PM - 13 Apr 13

"I'll be on stage in front of four megastars." Why, who's in the audience? #thevoice
7:50 PM - 13 Apr 13

"No-one in the charts sounds like you. For the most part they can sing a bit." #thevoice
7:53 PM - 13 Apr 13

"I'm holding back, I'm only pressing for people I believe in." AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA #thevoice
8:02 PM - 13 Apr 13

By the way I love that Jumpers for Goalposts featured not one but two former Pete-the-Plumbers.
9:14 PM - 13 Apr 13

Catching Fire trailer; I guess they're making explicit the suggestion that the Quarter Quell was fixed http://youtu.be/jyPnQw_Lqds
10:09 AM - 15 Apr 13

Nope, your arse isn't nice enough to make up for all the squeaking last year, sorry #intervaltweets
9:07 PM - 15 Apr 13

Did we know we'd be seeing Pearce Quigley's Bottom at the Globe?
12:46 AM - 16 Apr 13

Clarke Peters starring in Race at Hampstead. Does that mean it'll be packed with people braying about The Wire?
11:44 AM - 16 Apr 13

@givesyouHel People always wilfully ignore me. And I always talk shite. So yes, the two may be connected.
2:50 PM - 16 Apr 13

Finally got an agency to take me on so hopefully that's one step closer to work.
2:51 PM - 16 Apr 13

I wonder if the mysterious circumstances involved nobody in their right mind buying a ticket? http://www.whatsonstage.com/news/theatre/london/E8831366124095/Nancy+Dell%2527Olio+play+cancelled+at+Arts+Theatre.html

I'm also enjoying the use of quote marks in that article.
