Rosamund Pike in ‘Inter Alia’ and More Theater to Stream

The New York Times: Two British soldiers go for a pint. In 1979, at the height of the Troubles, Bobby and Dave, deployed to Northern Ireland, are off duty when they attract two women from across the pub. Crackling banter, a slow dance. Everyone is enjoying themselves. But these are no amateur flirts, the two beauties work for the Irish Republican Army. Their little bait and switch leads to Bobby’s murder, haunting Dave for decades.

I am a big fan of all things curated lists. Anytime I find an Instagram reel with a collection of artists or movies that I should watch, I am ready to add them to my lists that I will hopefully reference at a later date. Me and some friends currently have a list of movies that we want to watch going, so this article is exciting to add some plays to that list. “Poor Judge” sounds very interesting, and I think a lot of that credit is towards the author of this article. The way they list out the different elements, such as cabaret and accordions, imply a disarray that is strewn throughout this play. I also want to check out “Inter Alia” because I love character driven stories. I love seeing the inner conflict played out on stage, especially when it causes me to reflect on my own beliefs or views of others.
