Ready Player One
(USA 2018)
Schmaltzking Steven Spielberg is in regular form with Ready Player One, his film adaptation of Ernest Cline’s 2011 gamer fantasy novel.
Reality bites in 2045, especially in Columbus, Ohio, where Wade (Tye Sheridan) lives with his aunt (Susan Lynch) and her no good boyfriend (Ralph Ineson) in “the Stacks,” a favela-like slum of discarded mobile homes piled on top of each other. Things…

Divas, directors, doctors and drugstore girls
SHOW 16 – Weds 12 Feb
Today is Sarah’s birthday. Sarah had seen the show possibly twice back when I'd been 10 times. This is now her 18th. She quite likes The Drowned Man.
She's not the only one. In the end a group of nearly 30 of us are gathered in the Sawyers after work – a mix of newbies and old hands. As one of the latter I decide not to race for the first lift, for the first time in months, and end up queuing just behind actor Nigel Lindsay – the first 'celeb' I've ever seen in the Studios. A quick glance at the board on the way in confirms that the amazing Jane Leaney is playing Dolores, so that’s my choice for first loop. I've never really been drawn to Dolores, and I don't know why. It's time to find out more about her.
Spoilers ahead…
I get out in the basement and head upstairs to her bedroom. Dolores is standing at her mirrors, dressed only in underwear, looking a little worse for wear. I calculate that I must have arrived after the initiation scene, so she has presumably just found out she’s playing the grandmother – upsetting news for any diva worth her salt. But she manages to control her emotions long enough to put on her dress and shoes and is surprised to be called to Studio 4 by Voice-Of-God Stanford.
There’s nobody waiting there for her, though, and no more instructions come through from Mr S. She keeps shouting out to Leland – they've known each other long enough to be on first name terms – but he’s not listening, or at least not responding, and she gets more and more desperate, running up the snowy hill and sliding back down again and again. It seems she's realising for the first time that she's totally alone, and that the studio doesn't actually care about her. Other than me she actually is alone in there – even the ghostly white-masked audience seems to have lost interest.
When her fear of being old and alone threatens to overcome her, she staggers upstairs to the doctor (Fred). I follow behind, trying to keep out of the way – using my usual trick of staying out of the light and against the wall. In this case though, the doctor’s torch acts as a surprise spotlight and I am suddenly in its glare as he focuses its light on her, forcing her back against the wall. I wriggle away to the side just in time. It's not the only time I get in the way this evening.
After the orgy, when she's called into the ante-room by Alice (Emily), it’s like a horror film the way Dolores becomes old before our eyes. And as the rubber mask goes over her head and Dolores struggles to breathe underneath, Alice, true to form, is unable to keep the smirk off her face. She keeps looking incredulously at the white masks scattered around the space, as if to say ‘what the hell is going on?’.
Dolores heads slowly upstairs, breathing erratically and struggling with the heavy doors like an arthritic old lady. The white mask just ahead of me gives her a hand. The cape hides Jane's powerful dancer's frame well so if you didn't know better she could well be a fragile old woman under there.
In the bedroom the PA (Lucia) is waiting menacingly with a mirror, using it to herd a fearful Dolores underneath her enormous wall of mirrors. How ironic. Her favourite place to stand and admire herself while in diva mode has now become a place of nightmares as she's confronted by image upon image of an aged self. And her erratic breathing morphs into a full-blown panic attack. From where I'm standing I have a perfect view – Andrea (Fania) and Claude (Ira) dancing on one side of the window, the PA removing the mask on my side.
And for the first time ever I notice snow falling outside the window. It's magical how these amazing little details are only really noticeable from certain viewpoints – I’ve watched the Andrea scene three or four times, and yet have never seen falling snow in here before.
Dolores tidies herself up and resets. She’s once more the ridiculously glamorous star of Temple Studios as she heads to the caravans to find Frankie (Conor). Jane commands such presence in the role – without needing to say a word, you know when she's in the room. It's not just her height or frame, but she has an aura of sorts – it's not hard to see what Marshall sees in her.
I have half-seen Dolores and Marshall's snow room dance before, many moons ago, but hadn’t registered how lovely it is. It’s so carefree and funny – a proper ‘I have to hug myself as I’m so happy to be standing here watching this’ kind of dance, although there’s very little actual dancing – and a lot of sliding and giggling. Dolores is singing along to ‘I can never go home anymore’ and they both seem so happy. Such moments are rare in this show and they never last long.
This one doesn’t. The PA enters while they're kissing behind a pillar (from my perspective at least). She sweeps us all aside so she can flash the reflection from the watch box in D and M’s faces. And it's clear that Dolores doesn’t yet understand the PA’s power, as she snaps at her and tells her never to disturb her private moments again.
But she’s still on a high, dressed in glamorous nightie and gown, as we head into the dressing room where Claude is waiting to spin her, until he drops hints about the grandmother role. She's horrified. She's been playing the role of a young, glamorous star for so long that she's almost forgotten that it's no longer true. In fact if certain records in Temple Studios are to be believed, Dolores (not Jane) is a hell of a lot older than she looks. She staggers back to her bedroom and collapses on the sofa at the back, hyperventilating.
Somehow I manage to get in the way again during her passionate dance with Marshall (Fionn) in the next scene, despite standing out of the light against the wall. Maybe this is one of those areas they’ve struggled to light. Luckily I'm moved out of the way by a black mask, as shortly afterwards Dolores is literally slammed against the wall exactly where I’d been.
This must have been one of the first scenes I ever saw, when I'd followed Fania’s PA out of the basement on my first show. I thought I’d lost her, but I realise now that in fact she probably had just moved to the foot of the bed – and, being somewhat (ok, very) disorientated, I had lost track of her in the crowd.
At the initiation I’ve pretty much done her loop and, forgetting that I’d planned to follow the doctor next, I'm distracted by Sam Booth's Mr Stanford once again, and follow him out to his dressing room. He sits down just as Romola (Katie McG) comes in, brushing me as she passes – moving me out of the way?
This moment seems to have changed a little since I followed Romola. After their dance, rather than getting her to slap him, he does it to himself a few times, and she then copies him as a joke. The whole scene is lighter hearted than before. It seems clearer that he really is very fond of her, although those who've followed him from the start of the loop will have seen him plot her downfall with the seamstress. Even when he glances at the white masks around him, it’s more inclusive, and less ‘are you watching this?’. It's such a contrast from the usual man that anyone joining at this point would assume Mr Stanford to be rather sweet.
When he collapses he demonstrates some pretty impressive eye rolling – all we can see are the whites. I find this really quite painful to do myself – proof of Sam Booth's dedication to his art. He beckons in my general direction but I don't want to assume he means me so I stay back, and when he can see again he looks at a girl near me and calls her over instead.
His wheelchair seems particularly slow this evening – waiting to hear Wendy and Andrea’s voices coming round the corner perhaps. As usual he ushers the crowds of white masks to follow them and Lila. When one person shakes their head, determined to stick with him, he looks amused. Mr Stanford is in a good mood this evening.
This time I'm allowed to follow him (with others) down the corridor to the PA. I don’t remember him ever being this chatty before. ‘Did you see that? Wasn’t it great!’ And when he goes into the reel-to-reel room with Lila he takes a group of us in with him – last time there was just the one girl. He's feeling generous too.
When he takes someone off for the 1:1, I head out and find the doctor in the corridor, busy examining a terrified Lila. I've never seen this bit, so I follow him and his huge crowd (where does he pick them all up?) into the temple ante-room. He’s playing the role of host, putting his arm around a white mask and taking them over to each of the effigies, presumably explaining who they are. I wish I could hear what he's saying – that'll have to be a plan for another show I guess.
He walks to the desk just as Stanford arrives after what must be a very short 1:1. I have no memory of ever having seen this scene before, although I've done a full Stanford loop. It's perfectly possible that I was a bit overcome after my first ever 1:1 (or perhaps they were running a bit late and missed each other).
Something has happened to formerly good-mood Stanford. He’s certainly not entirely himself at the moment. Back in his office he stares at his desk for a moment before slamming his forehead down hard (it makes a proper thwack). When he eventually lifts his head, Wendy's eyeless photo is stuck there, and he reaches up and takes it off, putting it on the desk so that the light glows through the eyeholes.
Sam's patience and willingness to work those pauses amuses me as he waits and waits and waits for the phone to be picked up at the other end – patience not shared by many of the white masks who wander off, thinking the show's over.
I’ve decided to abandon him when we get upstairs... I've missed the hoedown and I want to hang out in the drugstore. I feel so much more comfortable hanging out in the town than in the studio – it feels a bit like home. Worrying, considering the kinds of things that go on there, but true. And the drugstore in particular is somewhere I feel very happy. It’s the lovely Anna Finkel playing Drugstore Girl today. She's tidying up when I arrive and I take a stool in the middle of the counter.
Almost as soon as I sit down she cleans a glass and pours me a lemonade. There’s just the one straw but she watches me and smiles as I drink it, then gets out the nail polish, opens it and looks at me mischievously, looking delighted when I offer my hand. She just has time to do three nails before Andy (James Finnemore) and Miguel (Carl ) arrive. I jump up, blowing on my nails to dry them. I'm not in the way – for once.
Just for a moment, as I watch Andy and DG dance, I'm suddenly overcome by a strange feeling of being actually there, in the 1960s, watching a dance in a drugstore. And then two girls talking loudly behind me break the spell – I spin round and they’re sitting at a table with their masks perched on their heads, whingeing about something. I give them as much of an evil glare as is possible from behind a mask, and next time I look they’re gone.
I love this loop because things tend to happen around you and you can just sit and soak up the atmosphere, singing quietly along with the music, and getting a refreshing glass of lemonade along with it! It's quiet, relaxing and as fun and lighthearted as it's possible to be within Temple Studios. Especially the final loop. So after Bull-Dog I take a seat again and watch a procession of visitors troop through.
First it's Harry (James Traherne). I definitely need to follow him - he's very different from James Sobol Kelly. A proper old-school clown, although just as much of an alcoholic. By the final loop DG's pile of Miracle Salve is quite high, but it doesn't stop her buying another tin.
Next up is Badlands Jack (Sean). His BLJ is the swaggeriest I’ve seen – cocky and bullish (probably all an act). He, more than the others I’ve seen, very clearly owns the drugstore, and walks straight behind the counter to help himself to a glass of water. He’s a proper bully.
Final visitor is the grocer (Monsur), who arrives for his napkin moment. While she waits for him to bring back the dispenser, she gets on the counter to put on her roller skates and is still sitting on there when he returns.
She unfolds the hidden script for me to read, then pours a glass of water, and before I realise it has disappeared out of the door on her skates. I chase after her – my feet are definitely not as fast as her wheels – and find her with the security guard. This is new to me – something that only Anna does I think (when I followed Sophie she didn't even wear roller skates). As she's about to hand over the glass, Marshall suddenly arrives and she hides round the corner to watch him trying to escape over the top of the gate.
The guard never gets the water as he's too distracted by Marshall, so she tries the grocer next. And then heads to the saddlery. I’ve never seen her dance with the barman (Ed W) before either and it’s fun to watch as he twirls her all around the fountain area before they head back into the saddlery to take off her skates and put on some cowboy boots ready for the hoedown.
Andy isn't exactly looking like good boyfriend material by the end of the hoedown and DG looks very sad as she leaves him to fight. She slumps on the bench in the saddlery, her mood not helped by the sight of Faye (Miranda) and Miguel kissing. While Sophie's DG was jokey with them, Anna's is definitely jealous. She keeps the boots on, picks up her skates and heads back to the drugstore despondently, looking back longingly at Andy by the fountain. I make myself comfortable on a stool again and watch as she tidies up a bit and sticks the page of script on the wall. I notice for the first time all the drawings on there. Have these been done by cast or audience?
She pours me a glass of water (no chance of dehydration on this loop) and gets me to pick my own straw. This time she has her own glass, too, and we drink together – staring and giggling as we do. Is this a challenge to see who can finish first? She beckons to me and I lean over the counter as she whispers 'do I know you?'. I don't know if she’s asking me as Anna or as DG so I kind of shrug non-committally and smile apologetically (not that she can see my smile).
Andy comes rushing in and gets down meds, presumably for William. I’ve seen this before, but hadn't noticed that's what he was getting. After he rushes out I’m on the wrong side of the room to help pick up the postcards, but another girl's on hand and they get most of them, although a couple of minutes later they're knocked over again, this time by Badlands.
DG leaves them this time, picks up the rose from the back, and we walk out to the stairs together, where she takes my hand. I’m smiling at first but I realise that she’s actually really nervous all the way down, so I stop singing along with the Shangri-Las. Does she know what she’s about to see? As we watch Marshall dance from the steps, she squeezes my hand and rests her head on my shoulder.
And watching the murder, she stands behind me, shaking and clasping my hands – I feel the need to comfort her, so I move my hands to grip hers back. But the second Stanford yells cut, her mood completely switches and she pulls me back through the trees, dancing and swaying ahead of me. Her happiness is infectious and I 'dance' behind her, unable to stop from smiling back at her, although my dancing is back to being embarrassingly bad.
The rest of the evening passes in a happy blur as a drunken gang of Sarah's friends take over the dark opium room and drink (and spill) too much prosecco, while struggling to make out who we're talking to.
I have one more show booked and then it's time for a proper break – one that lasts longer than three weeks. Admittedly I'll have Sleep No More in the middle, to tide me over, and if there are any special events I won't be able to stop myself booking them, but at 17 shows (extending my overdraft by about £600 - give or take £50-100) I feel I'm ready to step back a bit and give this show that I love so much just a little bit of distance.

“The two dancers improvised the piece on set,” Jonny explains. “As we had no music at that point, we looked for ways just to capture moments between them. I showed the clips to Tom with some referencing and he sat down on his piano straight away and starting composing a piece.”
Well.... I have come over a bit flustered.
