Hall Reunites with Eminent Dame???
Date: 6 December 2004
Which acting dame will get her directing knight come 2006? In today’s
20 Questions interview with Sir
Peter Hall, the esteemed director reveals that, amongst his myriad projects over the coming months, he’s booked in for a West End play starring “an eminent dame” in January 2006. There are few stage dignitaries Hall hasn’t worked with in a career spanning more than five decades, while even his British leading ladies of recent years – who’ve included
Judi Dench,
Vanessa Redgrave,
Felicity Kendal,
Brenda Blethyn and
Janie Dee – leaves one spoilt for guessing choice. In the meantime, the West End will be the recipient of Hall’s revival of
Whose Life Is It Anyway?, starring American TV’s
Kim Cattrall, another new play later in 2005 and, tipped for a transfer next year, his touring production of
The Dresser, starring
Nicholas Lyndhurst and
Julian Glover.
