Casting some two-handers with co-isolating couples
Posted by: wisebear 05:27 pm EDT 04/20/20

So working with couples we know or assume are isolating together, who would you like to cast for future streaming?

I’d start with Will & Audra in “I Do, I Do”

Matthew Broderick and SJP in “Same Time, Next Year”

Who should do “The Last Five Years” , “The Gin Game”, “Venus In Fur” ?

With Ronan and Mia Farrow as David and Mrs. Phelps doing the bathtub scene. Also as Harry and Mrs. Bogen performing "Momma, Momma" and "Eat a Little Something"

Ideally to be directed by Soon-Yi Previn (she knows the territory).

Alternate cast: Jason Gould and Barbra Streisand in the same roles as above. To be directed by Michael Urie.

With Woody Allen and Diane Keaton -- I believe they're still friends (and assuming Soon-Yi is OK with it).

I'm enjoying all your suggestions. On a somewhat serious note, Keaton WOULD be excellent in GIN GAME--or LOVE LETTERS. Yes, she is still friends with Allen but no way could he do justice to GIN GAME.(I still am remembering James Earl Jones' terrific performance.)

You're right, of course -- but Woody and Keaton have such great chemistry and he'd certainly nail the laughs.

With Mathew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker -- and perhaps their kids as the other voices.

I DO! I DO! (Gay Version)

I'd love to see a gay version of I Do! I Do! with Ryan Spahn (if he can sing -- or at least speak-sing) and Michael Urie. Urie would kill singing (with an appropriate lyric change) "Flaming Andy".

Can’t think of a play for them, but I’d be happy if Sarah filmed Holland doing “Anne”

Although Paulson might be too old.

Since the play consists of correspondence between George Bernard Shaw and Mrs. Patrick Campbell, the characters aren't in the same room anyway.

I don't think they ever appear together, but I forget. As I recall, Jane Alexander was in a TV version a zillion years ago.

Seth didn’t reveal the play they got the rights to do with the couple. Gin game would be good.

I think love letters would work for two people in different households.
