Went to see it largely because of the cast; love the old Noel Coward stuff as entertainment, but it can (in the wrong hands, including Liz and Dick) seem dated. <br /><br />From the start, though, Rickman and Duncan made it incandescent. They just plain owned the stage. Only once have I ever said a production was flawless, but that one was. His light touch was as dead-on as his more serious stuff. And, I must say, his sleek, sexy look was leading man at its 1930s finest.<br /><br />He will be so missed.Rafe's Hotelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06898852529318083316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-38914339078559312252016-01-15T14:44:42.534+00:002016-01-15T14:44:42.534+00:00So tired of that effing cancer!

However, I've no doubt that that was his own decision or, at very least, in part. <br /><br />I'm also now at the age at which both he and Bowie have left us. If it were to be my turn too (no intention, I promise!) I'd certainly be in illustrious company.<br /><br />When I started frequenting Amsterdam in the early 80s (notching up a total of 35 visits in that decade) the owner of the small hotel I usually used told me that Alan Rickman also stayed there a few times. Just saying.
