Fuck Yeah, Alexander Siddig!

I saw Holy Warriors at the Globe today. A very interesting fantasia about the Crusades… Not exactly perfect, the second act was confusing and muddled, and sometimes I felt that the author was trying to pile too many historical references one on top of each other.
John Hopkins was a great Richard the Lionheart: impulsive, funny, stubborn. And the fierce Eleanor of Aquitaine (one of my favorite women in History) was wonderfully played by Geraldine Alexandra.
But for me the star of the play was Alexander Siddig. His Saladin is elegant, cunning and has a huge amount of charisma (also, the man is incredibly attractive, even more in person *sighs*).
All in all, a good play and a nice day on Southwark, where I also visited the Tate Modern.
More to see and do tomorrow!

[I am a fan of the Song of Ice and Fire series and was very angry about so many changes made to the last season of Game of Thrones. However, hearing Alexander Siddig’s casting for the next season… I let out an actual squee and now am completely prepared to love his parts and watch for him, if nothing else.]

[To Lucrezia] Leonardo trusts me because I show him that there are worlds larger than the one he knows. And now I do the same for you.

somebody told me that Sid used to stay up most nights playing his games console and the writers called him to their office and asked if he was taking drugs because he always looked tired, was really grumpy and sluggish and had constant bags under his eyes.
