A Trio of New London Doll's Houses???
Date: 24 October 2003
Speaking of
Laurence Boswell, another one of the director's planned projects -
A Doll's House starring
Ally McBeal Calista Flockhart (See
The Goss, 4 Sep 2003) - could be facing some head-to-head competition. Birmingham Rep, whose production of Steinbeck's
Of Mice and Men opened last night in the West End, are planning their own production of the Ibsen classic, in a new version by
Bryony Lavery (
Frozen). Directed by
Rachel Kavanaugh and starring British screen star
Tara Fitzgerald, it's due to open in Birmingham in February 2004 ahead of an anticipated West End transfer. More imminent still, next month, south London's Southwark Playhouse will present
A Doll's House - newly adapted by
Samuel Adamson and directed by
Thea Sharrock - as part of its tenth anniversary season. Well, perhaps Boswell will switch his star onto another vehicle. Flockhart is apparently still keen to revive
The Philadelphia Story (See
The Goss, 9 Sep 2003) while
All About Eve is also a possibility (See
The Goss, 21 May 2002).
