I met Hercule Poirot yesterday..or rather the man who has played him to perfection for well over the past decade and a half -the one and only David Suchet.
Mr. Suchet is currently performing at the Theatre Royal Haymarket in 'The Last Confession' which revolves around the power struggle and politics in the Vatican during the short reign of Pope John Paul. The play in itself is definitely one of the best in the West End for quite some time now. The cast boasts of some very experienced thespians and revolve perfectly around David Suchet's Cardinal Benelli. If you ever have a chance to watch the show, dont hesitate to do so. It will stay with you a long time and you may even spot me somewhere in the audience catching it for the second time perhaps.
I met David Suchet backstage. His deep baritone voice is a far cry from the soft gentle tone of Poirot's accent Belgique. He told me to expect a couple of new episodes of Poirot coming up which account for the remaining stories on the Belgian detective written by Agatha Christie.
It was a bit of an awe struck moment to shake hands with one of your favourite characters especially having grown up watching the show. I found him to be very congenial and friendly.
David Suchet, thank you for the years of entertainment you have given us and I hope to see you enthrall us with many more moments of your pure acting genius and amazing screen/stage presence. Undoubtedly the best of his generation and one of the all time greats!
Till next time, a star-struck fan
