No Man’s Land is the 1974 play written by brilliant English playwright Harold Pinter. It was first shown at the Old Vic in 1975, directed by Peter Hall. This adaptation is directed by this year’s Laurence Olivier award winning Rupert Goold and will open at the Duke of York theatre on 27th September 2008. Booking up to 3rd January 2009.

Pinter received numerous awards during his career and his plays include, The Betrayal, The Caretaker, The Lover and the Collection, The Birthday Party and The Homecoming, all of which have been produced at the West End in recent years.

The play is about two ageing writers. They meet at Hampstead Heath and what follows is an evening of excessive drinking and sinister power games entwined with witty banter. The two characters Hirst and Spooner are played by David Bradley and Michael Gambon. The cast also includes David Walliams and Nick Dunning who play the parts of Briggs and Foster, Hirst’s henchman. In typical Pinter style, the comedy is entwined with tragic undertones.

Michael Gambon has played Dumbledore in the Harry Potter films and has been in the Singing Detective and Gosford Park, amongst other things. He has a wealth of stage experience including some of Pinter’s work and most recently in Cressida at the Almeida. Bradley too has appeared in Pinter’s plays; only last year at the Tricycle theatre as Davies in The Caretaker. He played the part of Argus Filch in the Harry Potter films.

David Walliams is making his London theatre stage debut in the West End but is of course a well loved faced on our television screens, most notable for his character acting in Little Britain, the series he created with Matt Lucas. Dunning has plenty of stage experience and has acted with the RSC. His tv credits include Waking the Dead and Whistleblower.

With such a distinctive and distinguished cast, No Man’s Land is likely to be a sell out so Concierge Desk recommend you buy your tickets early.
