Lots of unseen glimpses on this Insta account
Look at that watch.

New one? Expensive? Both?
Nice attunement for tomorrow!

I think Astrov didn’t have a wristwatch.

Might be a forgotten item from our time. It’ll be interesting to see if it is gone in the final cut

I hope it’s not there; it would be marginally anachronistic. Men wore pocketwatches until the beginning of the twentieth century (it’s why jeans have that funny additional pocket — for a pocketwatch). Wristwatches were mostly for women until WWI (some military men used them in the decades before that).
But in any case it looks like a very nice watch!

Me too. Did he use the way too modern pen when you saw the play? Felt really weird while watching

Incongruous 😂. Bit like Charlton Heston in Ben Hur 😂

Such a weird picture. I felt like Astrov’s stance is key to understanding the character, and it’s so distorted here by the camera angle.

To me this picture feels as if he is posing for the costume dept, as a record of their work. Doesn’t really strike me as Astrov as such, more like “Armitage in Astrov costume”…

I will look out to see the watch and the pen. I am curious about it

It’s a great pic. I love his stance, his stillness preparing for the performance (the camera-angle does make his feet look like clown’s shoes though!)

I couldn’t decide (due to the angle) if he was actually standing on the balls of his feet or if it just looked that way. I remember thinking last January that his stance over his core (with hyperextended knee joints) seemed sort of fundamental to the character (and to me this picture looks like the reverse of that).
