Joining the previously announced Brian Cox, Sinead Cusack, Rufus Sewell, Nicole Ansari and Alice Eve will be Brian Avers (The Lieutenant of Inishmore, King Lear), Mary Bacon (Arcadia, The Madras House), Seth Fisher (Julius Caesar), Stephen Kunken (Frost/Nixon, Festen, Proof) , Quentin Mare' (Coram Boy, Julius Caesar, King Lear), Ken Marks (Spring Awakening, After the Fall, Mamma Mia!) and Alexandra Neil (Match).

Interesting choices on some of these like Ken Marks. At any rate, here they are. Looks like a hot ticket in town.

He was 'the narrator' in Frost/Nixon, I like him! Nigel?

Here's the list:

Brian Avers (Stephen), Mary Bacon (Gillian/Magda/Deirdre), Seth Fisher (The Piper/Policeman), Stephen Kunken (Ferdinand), Quentin Mare (Nigel/Interrogator), Ken Marks (Milan/Waiter) and Alexandra Neil (Candida).

Kunken as Ferdinand? Interesting!! He was very earnest in F/N

Yes I thought so as well. I'm interested to see what sort of tone he brings to the role.

(OTOH maybe Kunken comes with the theatre and you're encouraged to put him to work.

)

heh, heh...

Rufus on the boards again. Dancing in the streets should commence any moment.

I know it's ridiculous from a career stand point, but I wish he'd do some theatre every year. He's just so amazingly wonderful at it. Lucky people who get to work with him.
