[ID: Three vibrant gifs of Beth Harmon from The Queen’s Gambit as she plays chess. 1: Beth and Mr. Shaibel sit in the basement together with a chess set in front of them; Beth moves a black pawn. In the center of the gif is the outline of the piece in a pink and yellow gradient with the word “pawn” overlaid on top in an italicized serif font. Text in a smaller sans-serif font underneath reads, “Beginnings, defense.”
2: Beth takes a black piece with her knight and then moves to strike the clock beside her. The word “knight” is overlaid over the outline of a knight piece and the words, “Grace, battle” are written underneath. 3: Beth moves her queen to the side in her game against Borgov; over the outline of the queen piece, text reads, “queen,” and underneath: “Power, independence.” End ID.]

The big difference I think between TV and stage is definitely the immediate buzz that you get. And that’s not just as an actor, as an audience member you’re getting the chance to have this kind of two way process where the actors and the audience are experiencing the same thing. With TV you often have to wait months and months down the line to actually get the pay-off. Whereas with theatre it’s a very immediate thing. x
