So, yet again Richard Dreyfuss takes the stage and yet again theatre papers and message boards are filled with stories on his onstage antics and inability to remember the difference between his arse and his elbow.
This time, however, the Jaws star's shenanigans have been written up for all to see with scathing reviews drawing attention to the fact that an earpiece has had to be fitted so someone can feed Dreyfuss his lines. Are you being serious? Why (and how) is this man getting work on the stage? Is this really how low we have to sink to try and trick people into attending the theatre? So, lets accept that a famous name can draw in a trade and boost the box office takings but do we really need one that is so inebriated he can't string two words together without being told them first. Poor Poirot must be hanging his head in shame.
So listen up Kevin Sapcey, saviour of British theatre (ahem). Yes, its great you've got loads of American movie star friends who are willing to come over and entertain the meek and mild British fans, but we have many British actors who can do the part without a big ol' chunk of technology hanging out their lughole.
Oh, and please don't invite best buddy Jeff Goldblum back. He's smug, rubber face is really rather vomit inducing.
