«Les os de son cou ont été brisés»: le frère de Jeffrey Epstein ne croit pas (du tout) à un suicide

«Cela se voit lors de strangulation ou lors de coup de karaté au cou, pas de pendaison», rappelle le frère du pédocriminel qui, même après sa mort, fait toujours trembler Washington.

«Vous coupez la trachée, et ensuite vous brisez le cou ou vous pouvez étrangler», explique-t-il, insistant sur le fait que les blessures «correspondent davantage à un coup de karaté qu'à ce que l'on appelle une pendaison douce».

Ce avec quoi Michael Baden - un des médecins légistes les plus réputés du pays qui a participé à l'autopsie - est parfaitement d'accord.

«Je n'ai jamais vu trois fractures de ce type dans une pendaison suicidaire», affirmait celui qui a pratiqué plus d'un millier d'autopsies de détenus morts par pendaison.

Par une coïncidence qui ne fait pas lever un sourcil à la presse aux ordres, l'associé français ⁠⁠de Jeffrey Epstein, Jean-Luc Brunel, est lui aussi mort pendu en prison peu après son arrestation, en février 2022.

Collaborateur des Clinton, qui aurait organisé quelques unes des nombreuses rencontres entre l'ex-président Bill et Jeffrey Epstein, ⁠⁠Mark Middleton se serait également suicidé en mars 2022.

The Princess of Wales  ||  Mark Kenly Domino Tan

[cliozaur]

Last month, "The Motive and the Cue" moved to the West End (originally staged at the National Theatre), symbolically finding a home at the Noël Coward Theatre, where John Gielgud played Hamlet back in 1934.

After less than two weeks of our read-along of "Emails from an Actor," I was so excited to see this play that I could hardly breathe when I saw "Day 1, The Play’s the Thing" projected on the black curtain! Honestly, this has been the best play I’ve seen in the last four or five months (and I go to the West End almost every week). The entire production revolves around the captivating power struggle between the legendary John Gielgud and the flamboyant Richard Burton, with Elizabeth Taylor acting as a calming force. Act one, aptly titled "The Motive," explodes with conflict, culminating in a public humiliation of Gielgud by Burton, and the second act, “The Cue,” focuses on the peace process and completes with reconciliation and a successful premiere. It’s rare to find an end of the play stronger and more cathartic than an end of the first act, but this play achieves it beautifully.

Johnny Flynn breathes life into Burton, portraying him as charismatic, expressive, and loud, yet hinting at hidden demons. However, I felt that he was trying too hard to mimic Burton's voice and mannerisms. Flynn's natural voice doesn't have the same level of hoarseness, so much of his performance feels more like an impersonation.

Tuppence Middleton steals the show as Taylor. Her captivating presence shines in every scene, offering a nuanced portrayal that deconstructs the stereotypical image of the airheaded Hollywood beauty. The connection she forms with Luke Norris' William Redfield, based on their shared childhood experiences as actors, is a delightful highlight. Redfield is arguably the most prominent supporting character, and his presence is impactful. But, unfortunately, there was no Sterne.

The real star and the absolute best part of it all was Mark Gatiss as John Gielgud. He is so natural in this role: knowledgeable, gentle, charismatic, witty, and extremely vulnerable. (By the end, you yearn to offer him a comforting hug.) This is exactly how I imagined Gielgud from what I’ve read so far in Redfield’s and Sterne’s texts. During the first rehearsals, Mark Gatiss even did something mentioned by Sterne: “he was also acting all the parts with the actors, mouthing the lines, reflecting the emotions in his facial expressions, and kinesthetically making all the gestures.” It was so lovely! And he did many things described by Redfield as part of Gielgud's ‘directing style.’ It was amusing to recognize quotes from both Redfield and Sterne throughout the whole play, even if repurposed for different situations.

The staging was both beautiful and smart. They used three locations: the big white rehearsal room, the smaller red hotel room (of Burton and Taylor), and the smallest blue room (of Gielgud). This last room was the most intimate space, where Redfield came for acting advice (and Gielgud told him that his advice cannot make him a better actor) and where Gielgud himself brought a sex worker boy ('I just wanted to do something reckless') – this is the most touching scene! I also liked the production’s attention to details: for example, when Taylor and Burton host a party in their room, we see vases with flowers – roses and tulips, and when we return to their room a few days later, we see these same flowers withered!

I really enjoyed the play. It was a captivating blend of wit, intelligence, and genuine tenderness. And it was nice to see our guys 'alive.' Gatiss/Gielgud is my big love! The whole experience made me very emotional.

Having seen The Motive and the Cue:

The sister's partner: There was a lot more Hamlet in there than I anticipated. I feel like I paid to see part of another play.

Me: Well, play within a play?

The sister's partner: ...goddamit.

#the motive and the cue #We also agreed that Johnny Flynn was good as Richard Burton but he was Burtoning all over the place #Mark Gatiss was absolutely perfect as John Gielgud #Tuppence Middleton was brilliant as Elizabeth Taylor and I wish she got more to do

The Chameleon: Links (1995)

Amúgy Mark Pritchard és Tom Middleton a kilencvenes években kiadott dolgaikkal nem hibáztak egyszer sem. Mosogatáshoz feltettem a Reload-lemezt, megunhatatlan korai brit techno, mindent tud, amit akkoriban bárki nyomott. Az ambientesebb Global Communication is az, a Jedi Knights electrós bigbeatje is az. Lényegében kitalálták, hogy különböző neveken megcsinálnak minden épp felfutó stílusban egy tökéletes kiadványt. És megcsinálták. Még a Secret Ingredients garage-e is röhejesen jó. És a Reload után előkerestem ezt, amit tényleg nem hallottam húsz éve biztosan. És ááá. Atmoszférik dárenbéz at its best.

Gielgud, Burton, Hamlet and Taylor, too!

The clash of the titans: Gielgud and Burton. Theatre versus film. Art versus stardom. Classic versus modern. Veterans in their craft Gielgud and Burton try to reveal yet another side of Shakespeare's 'Hamlet' and show what they're made of.

Egoes and artistic differences start to dismantle the play before if fully becomes the play – at the rehearsals tension is tangible, to say the least, when the director (Gielgud) and the actor (Burton) don't see eye to eye when it comes to the version of 'Hamlet' they intend to produce.

Chaos expands with each day, devouring good intentions, bad tempers and even worse habits don't mix very well and the pile of wrongs threaten to bury everybody under it.

Fears and insecurities threaten to ruin the show, the vision and relationships. But it may be the fear and insecurity that will be its saving grace, where the friction becomes the edge and the edge produces the defining moment. The motive and the cue.

The company delivers an exceptional show (along with the deep dive into 'Hamlet', perhaps one you didn't know you needed, yet fascinatingly insightful). The chemistry between the actors is undeniable, Gatiss' Gielgud is awkward, seeping with knowledge about Shakespear and rigid about his vision, Flynn's Burton is changeable, unruly, larger than life, yet drowning in self-doubt star. You can't take eyes off of him, he's magnetic, mesmerising and every encounter with Gielgud provides sparks. Tuppence's Taylor might seem underperformed at first (even though there's no doubt that eyes of everyone gathered in the 'room' are indeed fixed on her as she hosts the parties for the company), but there is a very good reason why she's actually on the backseat of that ride. To paraphrase – she's happy to serve Richard for once and support him. She's a broker of peace, she's providing entertainment, she is his stimulus. But it's his time to shine.

Stage design is a beautiful, intricate clockwork: different 'rooms' appearing effortlessly within curtain's drop and raise. A paradox really, but classic and modern solutions working perfectly in sync together (machinery of stage design, décor, journal's entries projected on the black curtains).

Sam Mendes directs Mark Gatiss as Gielgud, Johnny Flynn as Burton and Tuppence Middleton as Taylor in this funny, brilliant, surprising play by Jack Thorne posing the question of art, stardom, revisiting classics and maybe even the essence of the theatre itself.

Inspired by 'Letters from an Actor' by William Redfield and 'John Gielgud Directs Richard Burton in Hamlet' by Richard L. Stern 'The Motive and the Cue' offers a look into rehearsals, an insight into the process and deep analysis of well known classic.

–

The Motive and The Cue.

Dir. Sam Mendes, play by Jack Thorne, cast includes: Mark Gatiss, Johnny Flynn, Tuppence Middleton.

In Lyttelton Theatre (National Theatre) until 15 July '23.
