I'm very-very happy, I've my tickets on 17.09 to the afternoon and evening performances and I hardly can wait to see it. I like The Tempest, it's a wonderful Shakespeare drama and finally he'll play a good wizard. He needs it terribly because public identifies actors with the role very often and in the last parts he played a lot of villains (wonderfully). Lot of people  forget his Count László Almásy, his Justin Quayle his Todd Jackson etc. Trevor Nunn is a great director. If I remember well he was once the director of the National Theater too so I wait a great experience.  He gave me very much in Oedipus he was unforgetable in it. I saw him twice and saw two quite different performances with incredible emotional force. The first was a hard 'macho' who deserved his fate, the second was an anxious intellectuel who has been broken under the weight of his terrible tragedy. He always gives multilayered performances deeply analysed intellectually and emotionally. I hope to get it again.

Dear Mary,

I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you do for managing this website and letting us know about what happens in Ralph Fiennes's life. I am very very happy that one of my pictures was chosen to feature on Ralph Fiennes Network. I read on this site you have run for 13 years now several Ralph Fiennes's fans sites. Unfortunately, I do not know who you are, but I guess you must be a GENEROUS person.

I booked a seat for The Tempest and I got my ticket in the post yesterday morning. I am going on Saturday 29th October.  I am delghted to have the opportunity to see Ralph Fiennes on stage. This is something I have always wished. So it is a dream come true for me. I shall wait at the stage door after the performance in case he might be in a very good mood and willing to meet some of his fans after the play. I cross my fingers :-) !

Very kind regards,

Martine

This is the last play that write Shakespeare and to coincide with the colonization of the British of the new continent ¡were I live! ¿coincide? Aren`t know, but I like some much this play of Shakespeare the story of Cinderella is the favourite of Ralph but my story  favourite Is: Can not you guess? Yes, of course "Pocahontas" A native with English man" ¡well I am native of Mexico! and my skin is as the bread sugar as Pocahontas ¿Funny? Yes it is.
