Rosamund Pike Joins Cast of Madame de Sade
Rosamund Pike
With Dame Judi Dench already cast, Madame de Sade promises to be hot hot hot when it begins previews at the Wyndhams Theatre in March 2009 as the cast will now also include Bond girl, Rosamund Pike. Pike has been cast in the title role of Renée in the Donmar’s third play in their year long residency at the Wyndhams next year.
Directed by Michael Grandage, Yukio Mishima’s Madame de Sade is set in Paris, France in the turbulent and violent run up to the revolution. The play brings to life the notorious aristocrat, the Marquis de Sade through the eyes of six remarkable women, including Renée, the Marquis’ vehemently devoted wife, against the wishes of her mother (Judi Dench). The unseen Marquis de Sade is imprisoned for lurid escapades and licentious behaviour in the notorious fortress-prison, the Bastille in Paris.
Star of numerous British television productions including ‘A Rather English Marriage’ and ‘Foyles War’, Rosamund played alongside Dench as a rogue MI-6 agent in the 2002 Bond film ‘Die Another Day’, and won the British Independent Film ‘Best Supporting Actress’ award in 2005 when she starred alongside Johnny Depp in ‘The Libertine’. Also no stranger to theatre, her last appearance on the West End stage was in 2007 in ‘Gaslight’ at the Old Vic Theatre.
With such a high profile cast tickets for Madame de Sade are likely to be in great demand. Tickets are already available with Concierge Desk London, so if you do not want to miss out on this classic book your Madame de Sade tickets early!
