poppet2 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Is it too soon to come out with a play? http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/theatre-dance/news/an-audience-with-jimmy-savile-victim-felt-quite-unwell-watching-alistair-mcgowans-uncanny-portrayal-of-paedophile-dj-10312239.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halibut Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Yes, I would go and see it and no it isn't too soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Joker Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I find Alastair McGowan's impersonations amusing, but I think it is too soon and no, I wouldn't go and see it. Which begs the question how can I get so upset about something I haven't even seen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supertramp Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Seeing as it all happened ages ago its not too soon for me and any later it would become irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tzijlstra Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 In the Netherlands this would have been on the stage a month after the revelations. Not sure whether that is all that laudable though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alchresearch Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I don't understand why its a play and not a TV drama free for all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Sleeps Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Is it too soon to come out with a play? The writer was on the tele during last weekend. He argued it was 30 years late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigthumb Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Interestingly Savile was never charged with anything and certainly not convicted of anything. So regardless of the evidence and facts it is merely heresay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olive Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 The writer was on the tele during last weekend. He argued it was 30 years late. Ai saw this, it was Jonathan Maitland on the Andrew Marr show. It was so interesting. He was explaining how telling the story in this way gave them the opportunity to put across information such as police interview transcripts, which otherwise come over as being really dry. It sounds like a story long overdue and I do hope they make a film of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Sleeps Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Interestingly Savile was never charged with anything and certainly not convicted of anything. A legal defence, but certainly not an historical defence. The evidence is insurmountable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
