REVIEW: Love,Love,Love on Forbes Best Theater 2016 List

Love, Love, Love

What could be better than Mike Bartlett's Cock? His Love, of course. The cracking playwright delivers another sharp, smart, silly chunk of theater with this ode to the 60's and all their fallout. Anyone who’s ever been labeled a Baby Boomer, or the child thereof, will find much to laugh (and possibly cry) about. Old ideas stay fresh as we see patterns play out amongst a family full of great intentions and awful consequences. Richard Armitage and Zoe Kazan in particular delivered fantastic performances as an idealistic dad gone to pot and his mostly-ignored daughter. [At Roundabout

By Jillian Dale..."Season 1 of Berlin Station culminates with theBerlin Station crew piecing together evidence that will illuminate Langley’s role in the Iosava rendition. Meanwhile, Hector takes a new approach to atoning for bad behavior. As the episode draws to a close, the truth comes into focus and the Shaw mantle is passed. StarsRichard Armitage, Richard Jenkins, Michelle Forbes, Rhys Ifans, Leland Orser and Tamlyn Tomita. Directed by Joshua Marston. (TV-MA) Airdate: Sunday, December 18 at 9pm/8C onEPIX."

Richard comments from TV Tango interview: "Richard Armitrage: It was the thing that initially attracted me to this script and to this story. With this character in particular, I really felt like we were going to explore a human being who had flaws, and we were taking him into an environment where he was going to be challenged and stretched in a kind of post-technology society whereby the security services can't rely on those things anymore and they have to answer the game and face their opponent as human beings and seeing how those flaws affect what it is they do. So it was far less action-based and much more an intellectual game, which really fascinated me."

LA Times Places Berlin Station on Best TV for 2016 list:

"Berlin Station" (Epix) 

Sleek but not slick contemporary, continental, no-nonsense spy thriller features Richard Armitage, Michelle Forbes and Rhys Ifans as American agents looking to plug a leak in chilly, new-Cold War Germany. From earlier this year, when the CIA still counted.

Pucker up for Christmas kiss...

Someone turn on the lights now!!

That's better...thanks!

Don't be concerned folks--current hijinks in WashDC is merely the entrenched establishment being replaced with the duly elected POTUS by "We the people". The high drama makes it vividly clear why it was necessary for we the people to drain the swamp. That's exactly what is happening--the corrupt current entities are finding it difficult to forfeit political power.  That's why we have the Constitution.

He returns to using a vintage background for latest photoshoot..leather, mellow lighting and a fascinating location history. The Jane Hotel was designed a century ago sailors were billeted there, hence it's guest rooms are the size of a ship's cabin...very small rooms(reflected in the reasonable rate) They're even smaller than Royal Caribbean's ;D However, downstairs facilities have been luxuriously restored. Look at this ceiling...believe it's the bar lounge "where celebrities are sometimes spotted"...definitely on this day!

When the 700 survivors of the Titanic returned to NYC, they were housed in The Jane Hotel.  Some guests say a few might be currently haunting the halls..bwahahahaha! Ghostly tales are needed to lure many tourists to the older hotels.  IMO, the guest rooms of this particular hotel look as though you might at least imagine there's an unexpected visitor in your room in middle of the night;)  This is probably the lounge area where these RA photos were taken..flatscreen TV not exactly in keeping with the historic era, is it. There's dancing in the mezzanine off this area.  Description of weekend action at this particular NYC  nightspot states it's an eclectic mix -- including hookers!
