Jack Dee Debuts in Art's Fifth Cast
Date: 20 January 1998
British stand-up comedian Jack Dee makes his theatrical debut tonight in the West End's hit comedy Art. This will be the fifth cast for the West End production of Yasmina Reza's play about friendship and modern art which won the 1997 Olivier award for Best Comedy. From the initial trio of stars - Albert Finney, Tom Courtenay and Ken Stott - the play has attracted top-notch British actors since it opened at Wyndham's theatre in October 1996. Enticed by both the quality of the production and the attractiveness of limited three-month runs that are less disruptive to other professional engagements, players on the role call so far have included Henry Goodman (now playing in Chicago), David Haig, Nigel Havers and Anton Lesser.
