"In four days time I get to play a dream role on stage, Roy Batty, one of the most misunderstood good/bad guys in movie history and the replicant leader in BLADE RUNNER.  It's a live interpretation of the script, on quite possibly the world's smallest stage - but boy - have we got a show for you" ~ Joe O'Byrne.



UPDATE: April 5th ->  Fiery The Angels Fell...BLADE RUNNER - LIVE, entry from Joe O'Byrne's blog, Low tales from The Heights.
