Back in October I went to watch Ian McDiarmid’s new show “The Lemon Table”. It was brilliant.
And I waited for the stage door to give him some of the prints of my drawing of his characters ⬆️. (He actually just casually walked out from the main door of the theatre. And no one was waiting there except me. (in Salisbury))
I gave him the drawings and he was definitely happy about it, and said “oh you got all of them”. (I thought to myself, I have seen many of your other works but most of them are villains in stupid criminal series or creepy minor roles, so I only choose those “decent” character to draw. (although that old faggot in “Our Hidden Lives” was not so decent at all.)
I also said to him, that I hope I could watch more of his stage work. He said there will be more!
He is such a sweetie!
And when I walked on the way back hotel, still dizzy, I encountered him again! He recognised me and said Hello to me. I am flattered.
