Harington, best known for his infamous role on Game of Throne\u2019s as \u2018Jon Snow\u2019 plays&nbsp;\u2018Austin\u2019, a struggling Hollywood screenwriter. Alongside Vanity Fair\u2019s \u2018Johnny Flynn\u2019 who plays Austin\u2019s brother, Lee, a wanderer who makes a living off burgling houses.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JPf4HiQb0\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JPf4HiQb0<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><u>Live Review<\/u><\/p>\n<p>After 5 years of not seeing eye to eye, the brothers&nbsp;unwillingly reunite in their mother\u2019s Hollywood home, where their relationship is pushed to new limits as they both threaten to shatter each others dreams.<\/p>\n<p>The play starts with no announcement and six&nbsp;silent minutes of just&nbsp;Harington alone on stage. After&nbsp;Flynn&nbsp;arrives,&nbsp;they begin to converse. The strong presence of the two characters alter during the play, with Flynn stealing the first&nbsp;half, Harington stepped up his game after the interval.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Our high view perspective&nbsp;had&nbsp;audience&nbsp;members flushing with excitement when Kit Harington (Austin) walked on stage.&nbsp;The realistic conversation and refined acting&nbsp;between the two makes it feel like you are intruding into the warm Californian home set on stage. You are immediately&nbsp;drawn in to a perpetual&nbsp;psychological power play between the two leads.&nbsp;True West, which correlates from the brothers wanting to create a \u2018True Western\u2019 film, sees the siblings trying to reach their American dreams.<\/p>\n<p>Just as I was&nbsp;thinking that Flynn\u2019s character (Lee) was the most intruging,&nbsp;our companions uttered that Flynn&nbsp;is the&nbsp;much stronger out of the two.&nbsp;Which remains true until the second half.&nbsp;Harington really shone through and&nbsp;put on a striking comedic performance with the utterly hilarious toast jokes. (You had to be there.)<br \/>\n\tFlynn\u2019s character has more personality but towards the end you realise it\u2019s Harrington who has such a rational and complex character, that I believe he played&nbsp;incredibly well.<\/p>\n<p>Flynn deserves acknowledgement as the lesser known actor for&nbsp;providing a distinctly captivating&nbsp;central performance. Both the actors put on remarkable performances, but Flynn\u2019s just slightly took the edge. However, I have&nbsp;heard better American accents. Flynn took a while to ease into it, whereas Harington nailed it from the opening line.<\/p>\n<p>With the audience completely engaged, True West is not a show you want to miss out on.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ticketing.nimaxtheatres.com\/tickets\/series\/truewest?startDate=12-01-2018#mapView\">Tickets<\/a>&nbsp;are still available starting from \u00a339.50&nbsp;as performances&nbsp;continue to run for a remaining 11 weeks, until February 16th.<br \/>\n\tI doubt Santa is going to buy them so you might as well do it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kit Harington&nbsp;and&nbsp;Johnny Flynn&nbsp;star in a new West End production of&nbsp;Sam Shepard\u2019s conceptual thriller,&nbsp;True West.&nbsp;The British actors and singer-songwriter status that Flynn has to his name,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1294,"featured_media":2885,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4975,1],"tags":[32,1383,1432,67,110,107],"class_list":["post-2886","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment","category-uncategorised","tag-culture","tag-entertainment","tag-live","tag-music","tag-review","tag-theatre"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 -
