herrkonrath: @ElizabethAlton in conversation with #LibbyPurves at @NationalTheatre on #HeddaGabler: 'I've wanted to be a stage actor since I was quite small, and every time I come back to it I'm reminded that I had the right idea after all.' I could listen to her talk about her work ALL. DAMN. DAY.

"Look, you're delusional. You're insane. Why would you even want this? Yes, I loved you. And then all we did was resent each other, and try to control each other. And cause each other pain."
"That's marriage."

paulgreynolds: #HeddaGabler @nationaltheatre. Great performances & original production from #IvoVanHove. @ElizabethAlton was extraordinary, even covered in tomato sauce delivered beautiful words at the curtain call regarding #womensmarch: 'We couldn't march today but we were marching on stage.' Powerful and moving all around. #elizabethalton #rafespall #kylesoller #sineadmathews #chukwudiiwuji #evamagyar #kateduchene #patrickmarber #henrikibsen #nationaltheatre #lyttelton #theatre #lovetheatre #art #thisislondon #london

endless list of favorite people: elizabeth lucy adeline gower-alton
↳ I don't mind being known as my characters because I love what I do, and it's not so bad if people latch onto them that strongly. And I try to always play something different, so in that respect I guess nobody could really pin me down if they're taking their impression of me from my work. I get to be me, and I also get to be something different to everybody else.

"I don't think I even told Guill[ermo] or Minna this, there's always things with a character that you keep to yourself, especially someone as internal as Lucille... but from the start I had a certainty that her fantasies were more about women than men, and that's how I played it." [...] Alton describes the intimacy of that murderous act, "of holding someone's hand as they die, it's as deeply intimate as it gets. Women are the givers of life, but to be the taker of it, and to be that close to a person when they die... it's almost more sexual than sex, in a way."
