Ghosts
Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010The late 19th century was a particularly exciting time for theatre in Europe, and it is not surprising therefore that the plays of Chekov, Ibsen and Strindberg are still regularly revived today in London theatre. A new production of ‘Three Sisters’ by Anton Chekov is running at the Lyric Theatre Hammersmith, and ‘Ghosts’ by Henrik Ibsen will run at the Duchess Theatre from 11th February to 15th May. ‘Three Sisters’ is a poignant piece about a society poised on the brink of inevitable turmoil. theatre tickets for both these shows are on sale now.
Iain Glen both directs and stars in ‘Ghosts.’ His previous theatre credits include ‘The Crucible’ and ‘Henry V’ for the Royal Shakespeare Company, ‘A Streetcar Named Desire’ at the National Theatre in London and ‘King Lear’ and ‘Road’ at the Royal Court. Television credits include ‘City of Vice’ and ‘Blood Hunt.’ His films include ‘Song for a Raggy Boy’ and ‘Harry Brown.’
Glen has chosen his leading lady well, in the form of Lesley Sharp. You may have seen her previously in ‘Harper Regan’, ‘Mother Courage’ and ‘Uncle Vanya’ at the National Theatre, ‘Top Girls’ and ‘Greenland’ at the Royal Court and ‘Cyrano De Bergerac’ and ‘Playing with Trains’ for the Royal Shakespeare Company. Film credits include ‘Inkheart’, ‘Vera Drake’ and ‘Naked.’ Television work includes ‘The Survivors’ and ‘Red Riding.’ The cast also includes Harry Treadaway and Malcolm Storry.
