Updates
Please see the main site damian-lewis.com for recent updates news and a new Wolf Hall interview....THANK YOU!!
our whirlwind trip...a first post
We will present you a fully and very detailed report from our London time
By the end of June when we both fully return to our normal Blog work.
You will see our pictures from London and we will both let you know about
the play and how we celebrated our friendships anniversary as well as
our very last visit to see AB in June….our final AB week starts soon after…stay tuned!!
But for now I really need to tell you how amazingly great this play is…
I was curious and excited especially after I had the chance to interact with fans
and audience so much over the past weeks a thing I love to do and should
say it again here: you are all so great and we thank you so much for your comments and replies!!
@DamianLewisCom and @emsjabb are always happy about tweets and comments.
So I was keen to see it myself and after six years of waiting to see Damian back on stage
I couldn’t wait to sit in my seat watching the play…
I told you about Damian on stage and my opinion about more than once and I was sure to see
some fantastic acting and I know he shows so different skills on stage.
I guess most people who watched him on screen over the years noticed that he can
Express so much with very little gestures or like we said as we began here:
The raising eyebrow trick which only means he is amazing in his ability to
shows us his inner feelings by let us into his soul and mind but he never needs
an opera like attitude or loud words…
on stage his presence is overwhelming, his delivery absolutely pointed and
I witnessed it more than once that people holding their breath simply because
His presence on stage captures you completely.
I was sure long before Homeland that Damian Lewis is able to play almost every role and he
has a wide range of skills and abilities but I love to be surprised by him over and over again.
And after six weeks of Wolf Hall and the fact that he gave us an unseen Henry I was curious about his
Teach and even if I am sounding like a twelve year old on Facebook the phrase OMG is exactly
what I thought shortly after the play and even now four days after my return the play hasn’t
left me yet and I still think about the play ad its characters and the characters.
All three actors are very good and making you speechless more than once but Damian
nails it , Damian Lewis showing a masterclass in stage acting and I say stage acting very
consciously because we know he shows masterclass acting on screen and I have seen him on stage
before but this time I was hardly able to breath and I was completely captured in the situation
on stage!!
I have seen a lot of different plays in London over the years and Mamet isn’t for everybody
It seems to me that you either love it or hate it but I love it and can’t wait to see it one
more time in June because I really want to absorb every single moment and every move and
sentence in this amazing play.
Damian’s perfect comedic timing and the shallowness of his character is a joy to watch but
this is a bitter sweet comedy because you quick get the impression Teach is by far not
that clever and on a certain moment his empty life will almost move you to tears but
I will definitely not writing in detail here not before the play ends….won’t spoil it
For others but we will post a review once we are back from London in June!!
But I guarantee you Damian Lewis proves again he is able to catch every character
and plays and develops it to perfection!!

American Buffalo
American Buffalo….
It’s done!!
I am prepared and ready and nervous as usual when I’m on the way to the airport.
Alright I will be on my way Wednesday but I am already nervous.
We will see American Buffalo and yes I am very excited and I know we going to see a high class
performance because I was lucky enough to see Damian Lewis on stage before.
And I am sure I will be in love with John Goodman the moment he appears on stage and Tom Sturridge is a real young talent I am sure Damian will dominate the stage
(I should mention that I writing this long before the play is on in fact its April the first, it’s after midnight already and I can’t sleep so I do some blog work but I can’t use reviews or critics its my opinion only)
Damian dominated both plays he did the last years and he put an energy in his performance that you
almost needed seat belts!!
Especially during the Misanthrope run which I was crazy enough to see five times in a row!!
I am so much more reduced this time with only three performances in two months….well yes
Emma kept me from booking more….it would be ridiculous to go more often…and way too expensive lol
Back to the facts:
American Buffalo and his main character Walter “Teach “Cole has a special presence and is the active part of the three guys, he is also the most aggressive one of the group.
Teach gives the impression he knows what’s going on. But I doubt he is that clever.
As Damian told earlier in the first interview clip for American Buffalo;
These three men want to be part of the American dream but they’re not!!
And I agree it’s surely a total different experience from the life Damian and the director Daniel Evans live.
And that might be an enormous challenge but I witnessed Damian Lewis on stage before and I know he is an exceptional stage actor.
and to be different in your role you have to play…well like Damian said once:
“That would be acting”
It’s almost six years by now that I have seen Damian on stage and the last time it was at the comedy theatre in London.
The Misanthrope.
So much happened ever since….
The whole Homeland hype started a year later and by now Damian is even more a well-known well respected actor with a reputation of a versatile and brilliant performer…known around the world.
Damian Lewis brings an energy on stage that I have never seen before and he has an enormous presence that mixed with his acting skills makes the night in the theatre unforgettable.
So yes I expect a full blooded performance with energy and aggressive presence because
Teach is the aggressive part of the crew!!
Frankly I cannot wait to see him on stage and it’s so great he brings two other brilliant actors with him
Best of Luck guys….and break a leg

The Tate modern
Tate Modern is London's most visited and innovative gallery - housed in a former power station, the space itself is as much as an attraction as its collections and exhibitions.
The journey there can be an adventure in itself: take the tube to Blackfriars, cross the river on the 'Blade of Light' Millennium Bridge and admire the startling contrast between historic St Paul's Cathedral and this uber modern art gallery.
The interior is a glorious, unpretentious playground of modern art, as appealing to children and amateurs as it is to adults and art experts. Permanent collections includes works by Bacon, Matisse, Rothko and Andy Warhol as well as the best of contemporary British art.

Henry..oh Henry
Henry…oh
Henry
Six weeks
of pure perfection how could I possibly review such a thing….but I can at least
try
As many
viewers I was keen to see Wolf Hall and I thought it might be difficult to
deliver
After all
those weeks of Cromwell and Henry it’s almost hard to let them go….
I was so
keen to discover Damian Lewis`s way to play Henry because I was absolutely
sure it
would be different to others after seven years of being a fan I learned Damian
does things
always a bit different and in his own style.
Henry on tv
or big screen was mostly a lot of screaming and all about a loud performance
A thing we
normally don’t get if Damian Lewis takes on a role so I was wondering how he
would
manage it to be a king.
And yes of
course he gave us everything and again something new to explore.
Wolf Hall
was an absolute pleasure to watch not only because of the outstanding
performance
Of Mark
Rylance or my secret highlight Anton Lesser no every single performance in this
series was
breath-taking
from Jonathan Pierce to Claire Foy and Bernard Hill !!
But Wolf
Hall also gave us another milestone in Damian Lewis`s career!!
He gave us
a Henry we hadn’t seen before and let’s face it that was not what I expected
but
hoped forJ
I as most
of us had seen some “Henry`s “before and I looked forward to see his but I was
slightly
worried
because as Damian said himself:” Henry is a brand…like Coca Cola”
Well I
probably couldn’t come up with a better phrase so yes the King is an own brand
and
more famous
than anybody else in British history so I suppose everyone has an opinion about
Henry
and with
such a popular character it seemed a risk to play him…well as Selene and I
joking some time
my middle
name is worry lol but anyway I was keen and worried to see his Henry the same
time.
And wow he surprised
me once more…
His
performance blew me away and I was proud to be a fan of such an actor, yes he
showed us a
New side of
Henry and I almost felt understanding for him and his needs.
He wanted
to have a woman by his side and for him a male heir was essential and
I kind of
understand it and him although some of his actions were cruel and like a
monstrous child
And that’s
the fact I was most impressed of.
Damian
Lewis and the new side of his acting. I love him normally for the fact that he
is able to transport a feeling simple by raising his eyebrow, he is able to
express with a glance more
than some
others with a whole speech and we got to see that in Wolf Hall but we saw more
much more….
Henry was
like a big child a big Wolf who expressed every thought or idea completely on
his face
and I am
ready to bow!!
I was so
very impressed by his performance and yes it’s not the first time I write that
here but
It’s a fan
blog lol but really it was a new side of him and I enjoyed every bit of it, his
performance
Convinced
critics and audience each week and yes he was so good in every single episode
but
loved the
enormous Henry climax in episode five and I didn’t even want to talk about his
smile…..in
the last episode….if this didn’t give you goose bumps….
I am happy
to thank the whole Wolf Hall cast for an outstanding series and one of the best
things I have ever seen!!
National Gallery Sabrina and Emma inside...
National Gallery
Opening hours
Saturday to Thursday from 10am to 18pm and
Friday from 10am to 21 pm
Tube: Charing Cross
The National Gallery a must see in London
The gallery shows paintings and exhibitions
from 1250 to 1900
William Wilkins architected the House and
it’s a wonderful building and the house alone
is worth to see but when you step in you
will see first art from the 16th century
among others you will find paintings from
Cranach , Holbein ,Michelangelo ,Titian and
El Greco.
You will pass the Sainsbury Wing named
after the brothers Sainsbury.
Renaissance and Gothic is presented in the
wing with brilliant art from da Vinci
And Paolo Uccello.
The north wing is dedicated the 18th
century and you will discover Rubens and
Rembrandt as well as paintings from Vermeer
and Lorrain
Eventually you will explore East Wing and
the gap to the 19th and 20th century
and shows Art from Gainsborough Monet and
Cezanne.
You could spend hours in the National
Gallery and if you need a little break
than visit the Gallery CafĂ© it’s a lovely
place to be and a perfect way to rest for a while.
Don t miss a visit and the best thing it’s
for free. The National Gallery has free entry and
A sightseeing point you should visit on
your trip

The National Gallery
The National Gallery is visible in its full glory in the heart of the pedestrianised Trafalgar Square
. Its permanent collection houses some of the world’s most important paintings from as far back as the 13th century.
Gaze upon the works of greats such as Titian, da Vinci, Rembrandt, Monet, Renoir, Cezanne, Raphael and Van Gogh. Built in 1832-1833, in an attempt to outshine Paris’s Louvre, it aspires to make art accessible to all with free admission, a central location and extended opening hours.
The important thing in planning your visit is not to try and see everything. You could spend a week wandering through its hallowed halls, and still miss many of the greatest works of European art.

Mrs.Axelrod talks....:-)
the wonderful Malin Akerman talks about her strong woman role in the upcoming Showtime series Billions opposite Damian Lewis...
Malin Ackerman:
I’ll be relocating to New York from June to December for a new Showtime series that just got picked up called Billions. I play Damian Lewis’ wife, and it’s incredible. It also stars Paul Giamatti. I like to call it a mix of House of Cards meets Wolf of Wall Street. It’s amazing. My character is a self-made woman, and her husband is a billionaire and has tons of money. She comes from quite the background, and she’s a tough cookie. You don’t mess with her. She has built quite a life [with her husband], and she’s not afraid to threaten you if she needs to. She’s also really lovely and a strong female character.

I’ll be relocating to New York from June to December for a new Showtime series that just got picked up called Billions. I play Damian Lewis’ wife, and it’s incredible. It also stars Paul Giamatti. I like to call it a mix of House of Cards meets Wolf of Wall Street. It’s amazing. My character is a self-made woman, and her husband is a billionaire and has tons of money. She comes from quite the background, and she’s a tough cookie. You don’t mess with her. She has built quite a life [with her husband], and she’s not afraid to threaten you if she needs to. She’s also really lovely and a strong female character.

Damian Lewis...
Mail on Sunday is sure:
“Damian Lewis steals the show”
Express.co.uk thinks:
“Lewis is magnificent”
and Guardian/Observer Culture is confident:
“Damian Lewis is a real revelation”
Teach is the driver of the play and Lewis milks him for all he’s worth
Damian Lewis shows acting masterclass”
“incredible performances”
“Damian Lewis has bravura”
“Standing ovations are well deserved”
“Damian Lewis is outstanding”
“First class acting”
“What a great play”
“a superb cast being superb”
“Lewis Goodman and Sturridge are electric together”
Damian Lewis stole the show. Oozing seventies sleaze with a flared burgundy suit, handlebar ‘tache and sideburns, he masters the gift of the gab. As the charismatic but usurping Teach he had not just the characters but the audience eating out his hand. And for all the flashiness, Lewis also reveals underlying insecurities. All the insidious self-promotion and confidence in talking down others is offset by a deep discontentment, conveyed in a rare moment of wordlessness and flash of frenzied action.
Damian Lewis has all the swagger and stage presence that you imagine. His natural comic tendencies provide many of the nights laughs, and he’s enigmatic to watch.
“impeccable timing delivery from Damian Lewis”
“acting masterclass is an understatement”
“fantastic funny script with three amazing actors”
“Damian Lewis wrapped us around his little finger..great performance”
“fab performances and breathtaking set”
“American Buffalo is an amazing piece of theatre with three exceptional actors
Teach is the more showy role but Damian Lewis avoids the temptation for flashy, fast-talking virtuosity and instead excellently pins down the man’s neediness. Lewis paces the junk-shop as if it were his private terrain, trashes everyone he refers to and resorts to panic-stricken violence. But there is a key moment when Teach is asked to justify his lofty pronouncements on life and replies: “My life, Jim. And the way I’ve lived it.” At that point, Lewis gives us a terrifying glimpse of the character’s awareness of his own hollowness.
