#Rufus sewell update
In a couple of weeks I will finally be able to update this site, which is basically an archive rather than a news site. silence) to the contrary, I am not dead, nor, most certainly, is Rufus. This appearance was related to the opening of the play Art, which is now on at the Old Vic theatre and for which I will have reviews in the next update. He also was a guest on the Chris Evans show in November and there are a few photos here. Rufus was present at Comic Con in New York in October and you can see photos here. They are also on the Man in the High Castle page. There have been a cartload of articles related to The Man in the High Castle and they are listed with the symbol in the Reading Room. ♦ Greetings Rufians! Just before the end of the year, a small update. I have a bunch of other articles which will eventually end up here. There is also a link for reduced price tickets for to see Art. There is now a page for Art where you will find links to reviews and to a small photo gallery.

♦ Hello Roofers, a wee update to start the year. There will be more, but can't quite say when. ♦ Rufians, this site is not dead, but very far behind (long story) - the archive aspect still lives and will. You can also follow Rufus on Twitter and on Instagram The Rooftop - that is where you should go for the latest news. MASSIVE thanks to the Rufus Sewell Message Board, a.k.a. Renee hits one out of the park (and over the rainbow) putting forth what is clearly the best Lead Actress performance of the year thus far, earning her a 10/10, and elevating 'Judy' to an overall 8/10.Welcome to this site which aims to present a record of the work of Rufus Sewell. Judy's final tragic journey in her life is a roller coaster of desperation and sad realizations. Renee delivers to the audience a still enthusiastic, but destitute and barely "functional alcoholic" Judy Garland who still has her trade-mark trooper-attitude pragmatism, but is desperately trying to earn enough money to just have a place to sleep for her children and ends up taking the only gig she can get (In London where her fandom still burns bright and large) that gives her hope to earn enough money to right her sinking ship, and retain custody of her children back in America after her 4th divorce. This is largely a spotlight film role for Renee, fitting for the part of Judy Garland whose spotlighted roles carried films. Brief flashbacks take us back to production of "The Wizard of Oz" whose namesake himself couldn't save Judy from the Mother from Hell or the Boss From Hell (Louis B Mayer), for just the right amount of time to give the story supporting background fill. Renee clearly did her homework, nailing the nuances of Garland's personality, trooper attitude, eccentric stage mannerisms, and distinctive vocals - The buy-in to Renee as Judy was immediate and never wavered. Despite massive talent, and amazing work ethic, alcohol, prescription drugs, bad husband choices, despicable studio bosses, and an even worse mother, gave her little chance to bypass tragedy. Alas, Garland's life eptomized the Hollywood cautionary tale of child stars.

One would expect that a truly legendary and iconic actress / singer / dancer like Judy Garland would be enjoying the fruits of her long time successful career, and the accolades of her adoring fans, who would be lining up to buy tickets to see her perform. Renee immerses herself in the role of Judy Garland, locking up her 4th Oscar Nomination, and likely her second Oscar win, 15 years after Cold Mountain.
