Clueless Alicia looks to Old Vic???
Date: 3 July 2007
Rumour has it that Hollywood starlet
Alicia Silverstone, of
Clueless fame, has her eyes fixed on the London stage. A source told
The Daily Telegraph that "Alicia's desperate to be cast alongside
Kevin Spacey in
David Mamet's
Speed-The-Plow at the Old Vic next January". Earlier this year, the actress appeared in a Los Angeles production of the play, and is said to be keen to reprise the role over here. Spacey will play troubled film producer Bobby Gould, but has not yet commented on the Hollywood star’s apparent interest. If she were to bag the part, it would be a homecoming of sorts for Silverstone, as she was born in London. The role of Karen, the three-hander's only female part, was originated onstage by Madonna in 1988.
