Slings and Arrows “Madness in Great Ones” - Corporate Shakespeare
- BBC Reviewer: Geoffrey, your productions are known for their bare-bones style of staging, coupled with an almost unbearable emotional intensity.
- Geoffrey Tennant: Oh GOD, are they?
- Darren: Geoffrey! I've chosen to meet you in a large room to allow for maneuvering, in case you have another one of your episodes.
- Geoffrey: Well, you have nothing to worry about, Darren; although I do regret not killing you before, I am inclined not to kill you now, circumstances being what they are.
- Darren: I accept your apology.
Top 5 Lady M
- Judi Dench
- Sophie Bortolussi in Sleep No More
- Alan Cumming (brilliant casting, wish I had seen it)
- Sarah Berhardt (I mean, I’m assuming she was great)
- Martha Burns as Ellen Fanshaw as Lady M in “Slings and Arrows”
Stop speaking! Don’t speak anymore! I don’t want to hear anything come out of that mouth unless it is a line from the play spoken flatly and without emotion!

- Geoffrey Tennant: Danke schön.
