I'd not thought about the possibility of that kind of error to be honest! I did wonder if perhaps the scenes were cut from the final edit, or if it was an uncredited role (eg I think when he did Whole Lotta Sole it was originally uncredited but he's listed on IMDb now).
It certainly seems possible that it's him, given he's worked with both Andy S and Hugh B on a number of previous occasions.
Hope so anyway!
Jo

Interesting read. My favourites are definitely the black circles, black squares, black other bits - all very dramatic! I'll have to have a look at the work of the other artists too.

Also I will be a bit disappointed if a journalist doesn't use "From Rev. to Revolution" as a headline. You're welcome :-] Also also - check out this Malevich emoji!! 🔳 I mean not really but gosh!

Thanks to Ale Smallbone for highlighting this one to a bunch of us on Twitter, I thought I'd add it here for others to know about too. Tom has the role (voice only I think) of artist Kazimir Malevich in Margy Kinmonth's new documentary film which " seamlessly weaves the tumultuous period of the Russian Revolution with the story of the artists that shaped it". Pride & Prejudice (2005) Blog: A new documentary film: Revolution - New Art For A New World featuring voices of Matthew Macfadyen and Tom Hollander (which also links to the official Revolution.film website that has loads of background information).
In 2011 I accompanied a friend to the Royal Academy of Art's exhibition on this period / geography of art, called ' Building the Revolution: Soviet Art and Architecture 1915-1935' which featured many of the artworks from people mentioned in this documentary. It was rather lovely, in a slightly unsettling sort of way - I remember lots of industrial stuff and scary looking buildings. While searching for more information about that exhibition to include in this thread I discovered that the RA are rerunning the exhibition next year! Revolution: Russian Art 1917-1932 (11 Feb to 17 April 2017) - hooray. I wonder if they'll arrange a special screening of Margy's documentary, I might suggest it! Here are some more photos of Malevich's art which I found on Flickr.

I hope that wherever you are you have amazing air conditioning, or like hot weather! Here's a smiley face offering a bouquet of flowers but please mentally replace this with cake if you prefer :-] Jo

Well this appears to be entirely sold out now! However if you've not managed to get a ticket don't be too discouraged, particularly if you're based in London. I think it's worth contacting the box office on the day or even an hour or two before a performance to see if there are any returns (when people are unable to use their tickets and make them available to others) - and people in a group might have a last-minute spare ticket on the night if a friend's unable to join them. I don't know if ticket touts do much trade in theatre tickets, but watch out as they can be overpriced and the venue may have strict rules about ticket resales. Often people use Twitter to advertise spare tickets so keep an eye open / search running for obvious keywords like 'tickets', 'Travesties', 'Menier', 'spare'! There are third party services like Twickets which broker ticket exchanges between people where tickets are sold at face value. There are all sorts of 'cut-price ticket deals' available and even little ticket booths around London - I have to say I know nothing about them and have always thought them a bit dodgy but possibly that's another route for getting tickets. I'd be surprised if one of the newspapers or online news sources didn't have a competition to 'win two tickets for...' at some point, if I come across anything I'll post it here. Also by strange coincidence my friend actually works occasionally at the Menier box office so I'll ask her if she knows of anything. Jo

Gosh that was really interesting, I didn't know much about Theremin's back story though I was aware of the listening device he developed (hadn't realised it was him though). It's a good play but ended too soon for me! Jo

Thanks to Ale Smallbone who alerted me to this on Twitter. Melissa Murray's play 'Theremin' about Leon Theremin (inventor of the trumpet*) is available to listen again from the BBC Radio 4 website for a couple of weeks, and I thought you might like to know. I'm going to give it a proper listen at the weekend with headphones. More at www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00g8n5sI'm going to ask Radio 4 if they might resurrect ' Far Side of the Moore' (in which Tom portrays the British astronomer, and xylophonist**, Patrick Moore) and there's a PDF of the script, it's very funny. Jo *kidding! It was the theremin all along ** that bit's true actually

Doctor Thorne star Tom Hollander talks about his role, the fashion and plans for the future startsat60.com/stories/entertain/doctor-thorne-star-tom-hollander-talks-about-his-role-the-fashion-and-plans-for-the-future They say ‘clothes maketh the man’ so how were the period costumes?“ Clothes maketh the walk and the way you stand up and sit down. Actors often say that, don’t they? That when they get the costume they know how to play the part because it affects your movement. Your breeches and the fact you’re wearing a frock coat dictates how you stand up, sit down and move about, plus the boots and all of that. And the fact you’ve only recently gotten off a horse. Also you see yourself in the mirror and you can see yourself as part of some sort of Gainsborough painting. It helps your imagination.” It's a fun interview, love the bit about his hyena research (for Jungle Book) haha. Jo

Oh I'm pleased that people were able to read the article. I hope for more too. I wonder if they might make it a bit more multimedia-ish - whenever I go away anywhere I tend to take sound recordings of stuff (using the voice memo app on my phone, it's a bit more subtle than making a video and they take up less space!). Wonder what interesting things one might hear around Colombia!

Gosh that's amazing I'm too new to the forum myself to have known you but what a lovely story. Tom does seem to do voicework, yes - www.anothertongue.com/artist/tom-hollander (he may be with other companies too, I don't really know how it all works). Good luck with your projects, Jo
