Great tweet indeed! I know this is not the right thread, but the following excerpt from Peter Debruge's review of Brooklyn (one of the major film critics at Variety) is one of the great compliments she has ever received:
But between the quietly powerful performance Ronan gives here and her other low-key starring role at this years Sundance, in the psychological drama Stockholm, Pennsylvania,
the former child star seems to have perfected an understated technique as emotionally devastating to audiences as icebergs are to transatlantic ocean liners.
On the surface, she may look doll-like, innocent and somewhat difficult to read, and yet we understand through the most minute touches a subtle crinkle around her eyes or a flinch in her smile the sheer depth of turmoil her characters must be going through underneath.
I've been thinking about this one lately because at some point in the future, I wish to post about how Saoirse has been a powerful emotional conduit for me, and his description of her stunning talent helps me focus on the most salient quality she possesses that has moved me so much when experiencing her work. The only problem is the difficulty I'd have in precisely explaining this in words and the personal nature of my experience.

Of course mr. jlent
, it's fantastic you've transcribed it, and what a coincidence mr. steve, today is the 1 year anniversary of one of my favorite tweets, one of Joshua Rothkopf's about Saoirse and his fresh impression when he finished Brooklyn:

@joshrothkopf
I don't know what awards are for, if they're not to give to Saoirse Ronan for that performance. Nothing else like it this year.

Thanks for the detailed transcript Jlent

That put a big
on my face jlent.
I was happy but certainly not surprised when I started to look at some of the tweets from the Time Out New York critic Joshua Rothkopf, someone who feels she is on the highest level in the film world today. She has always been a critics' darling, but it's nice to read praise from "professional" film writers who agree with us about her current standing in film.

Stand back, canvro, this calls for a true obsessive who, without stenographic skills, would listen over and over just to get it right. I cleaned it up a little but this is just about verbatim.
The interviewer asked Von Hove to talk about Saoirse and Ciaran Hinds, "two of our best-known actors."
Von Hove: "Well, first of all, Saoirse, of course. It was her first play. She never was in the theater before. I knew her from the movies but it was a little bit of a risk, eh? (chuckles) because we didn't know.
"But, of course, her parents are theater people so she was almost born in the theater. You could feel it after two days. I always rehearse a play chronologically and her part, the first act she's there all the time then she's not there so much anymore, but the first act she's really there. So I had to rehearse all day the first days and after two days I said, 'Well, you're a natural, you know.'
"She really had a huge theatrical instinct. The difference between movies and theater is in the theater you have to design your own space. As an actor, it makes a lot of difference when you're in the back of the space or in the front of the space or left in the dark or in the light and she had a real instinct of where to be in that space.
"And also in movies, of course, you don't have to use your speaking muscle that much and here in the theater you have to and she really worked like a dog to make that work because it's also training. You have to train the muscle and it was every day for a thousand people so it's a huge audience.
"She was great. She was in the middle of the Oscar craziness but at the rehearsal, she was really there, totally with us and she was not looking at her mail or telephone calls or anything. She was there committed totally to us. She's a really hard worker, a great artistic spirit and an actress with a huge imagination."

canvro, the video won't play for me. What did he say?

During an interview for the RTE Radio1 program "Inside Culture" director Ivo van Hove talks, among many other things, about Saoirse Ronan in the Crucible, I don't know if the link is permanent,
http://www.rte.ie/radio/utils/radioplayer/rteradioweb.html#!rii=b9_10634717_22498_17-10-2016_
The part about S.Ronan start at the 00:54:52 mark

Not bad for her first broadway show.

That's good news.

Box Office for the Crucible run. Steady all the way through. Sold out one week, almost sold out a few others. Uptick in final week. Made a total of $11.7 million.

That's a nice ending to the interview jlent. She'll be able to catch her breath for a bit now before starting the new film next month.

The Crucible is 15 minutes away from its final performance as I write this.
Here's a nice goodbye article, an interview with Ben Wishaw. No mention of Saoirse, but he does praise the cast in general and gets into the emotional toll the play took on him.

Gotta love the irish headlines
Now that the play is ending, lets hope for some irish talk show interviews, since she is probably going to spend some time with her family in Dublin.

The headline reads:
Its as if Saoirse Ronan was born in the theatre - Ivo van Hove
But the article has only two paragraphs mentioning her:
Like many of Van Hoves innovations, one requirement for his cast is as nerveless as it is revealing: every actor must have their lines learned before day one. Nobody rehearses with a script in hand. That must have been daunting for Saoirse Ronan, in her first ever stage role as The Crucibles Abigail Williams.
That was amazing, Van Hove says of Ronan. She comes, of course, from a theatre family. After two days rehearsal, I told her it was as if she was born in the theatre.
It's an Irish newspaper. These things are to be expected. Here's the whole thing:

I can only go by my own experience, having seen the production in March and again in May. The accent was the same in both and the shouting was just barely toned down a bit in May, I assume to preserve her voice as much as she could.
One week to go!

She is probably doing a toned down version of her accent, like the last posts said.

I doubt that's it. I've been looking for a word to describe the lack of power in her voice and I've settled on three. No theatrical richness. The voice is loud enough. It just doesn't carry weight the way Sophie Okonedo's does. It has never been noticed in film, where it just doesn't matter as much.
I wonder how my favorite female voice in film, Jean Arthur from more than 70 years ago, would fair on stage.

I wonder if the strain in her voice is affecting her accent in the performances:
http://www.broadwayworld.com/board/readmessage.php?thread=1094608

No, she's not, and she makes no mention of it in her Twitter feed. She's not even in NYC so I doubt this is Abigail.
Saoirse's understudy is Ashlei Sharpe Chestnut, who, on a daily basis, plays one of Abigail's compatriots among the witch accusing girls, but she makes no mention of it in her own twitter feed, either:

He lost me when he said he had no interest in seeing "Hamilton."

Here's an article from a young writer who was very impressed by the acting he witnessed while watching The Crucible:

From what I can ascertain, "rasactrice" may translate to "race actress." No idea how that fits.

This was a week ago, is an interview (in dutch) of Mr. van Hove, google cannot translate this specific keyword but it seems is expressing praise
Is it scary to work with all those stars and top producers?
"No, that touches me at least. I'm only concerned with my art. Saoirse Ronan was nominated for an Oscar, but had never played theater before The Crucible. I've worried about it and I have also told the producer Scott Rudin. But they turned out to be a rasactrice. I am privileged that I can work with the world's greatest actors. Who want to be challenged.
original:
Is het eng om met al die sterren en topproducers te werken?
Nee, dat raakt me minimaal. Ik ben alleen met mijn kunst bezig. Saoirse Ronan was genomineerd voor een Oscar, maar had vr The Crucible nog nooit toneel gespeeld. Daar heb ik me wel zorgen over gemaakt en dat heb ik ook tegen de producent Scott Rudin gezegd. Maar ze bleek een rasactrice te zijn. Ik heb het voorrecht dat ik met de allergrootste acteurs ter wereld mag werken. Die willen uitgedaagd worden.
