Tall and dark-haired, Armitage has an old-fashioned, matinee-idol quality. His bearded, brooding face stares from posters all over Londons subway system. One recent afternoon he sat in his dressing room, reading fan letters — actual paper letters. ts a change of pace, to say the least. Armitage says the The Hobbit is a big machine that you get to play a little cog in. In The Crucible, Proctor — decent, tormented and flawed — is the center of the audiences attention. I can feel that the audience are breathing his breath as they watch the play, Armitage said. The show, in previews, opens Thursday. But the actor says there are threads and arteries connecting the worlds of Miller and J.R.R. Tolkien— including their operatic scale. At the end of the second act of that opera (The Hobbit), my character says, If this is to end in fire then we will all burn together. And in exactly the same place in Millers work — and it definitely wasnt plagiarized — I say, We will burn, we will burn together. Thank you,Ni Cole
