ON THE CHARLIE ROSE SHOW

http://www.charlierose.com/view/interview/10437 

MARY STUART stars Janet McTeer and Harriet Walter appeared on PBS’s “The Charlie Rose Show” on Wednesday, July 1.   The interview can be viewed on www.charlierose.com or by clicking here.

The Donmar Warehouse production of Friedrich Schiller’s MARY STUART, in a new version by Peter Oswald and directed by Phyllida Lloyd is playing at the Broadhurst Theatre (235 West 44^th Street) through August 16 only. 

Seduction, greed and deception lie at the heart of the bitter rivalry between Mary, Queen of Scots (Janet McTeer) and her cousin, Elizabeth I (Harriet Walter) of England. After being implicated in her husband’s murder, Mary turns to Elizabeth for help but finds her cousin distrustful of her motives. Thus begins a bloody feud that will threaten not just their family bond, but the crown of England… MARY STUART tells the story of two iconic women whose lust for power reveals one of the most thrilling displays of passion and politics the world has ever seen.

Joining Ms. McTeer and Ms. Walter, are Michael Countryman as Sir Amias Paulet; Adam Greer as O’Kelly; John Benjamin Hickey as Earl of Leicester; Michael Rudko as Count Aubespine/Melvil; Robert Stanton as William Davison; Maria Tucci as Hanna Kennedy; Chandler Williams as Mortimer; Nicholas Woodeson as Lord Burleigh and Brian Murray as Earl of Shrewsbury.   The company also features Jacqueline Antaramian, Tony Carlin, Monique Fowler and Guy Paul.

WAITING FOR GODOT’s Irwin and Glover on NY1 “On Stage”

ROUNDABOUT THEATRE COMPANY 

Waiting for Godot’s

Bill Irwin and John Glover

will be featured on

NY1’s “On Stage” this weekend, beginning Saturday, July 4^th

on Channel 1

“This ‘Waiting for Godot’ is a smart, engaging production and deeply satisfying. Mr. Page and his cast generate brisk comic liveliness throughout the show with tasty variety of style and pacing enforced by the grace of fine actors. ”

 – Ben Brantley, New York Times

“Roundabout Theatre Company’s revival is beautifully simple — and very, very funny.”

– Terry Teachout, Wall Street Journal 

Bill Irwin and John Glover, currently starring in Roundabout Theatre Company’s Waiting for Godot, will be featured on NY1’s “On Stage” this weekend beginning Saturday, July 4^th on channel 1.  Bill and John sit down with NY1’s Patrick Pacheco to discuss this highly acclaimed Broadway revival.

Roundabout Theatre Company (Todd Haimes, Artistic Director) presents (in order of speaking) Nathan Lane (Estragon), Bill Irwin (Vladimir), John Goodman (Pozzo) and John Glover (Lucky) in a new Broadway production of Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett, directed by Tony® award winner Anthony Page.

Waiting for Godot opened officially on Thursday, April 30^th, 2009 at Studio 54 on Broadway (254 West 54^th Street) the limited engagement has been extended through July 12^th, 2009.

The cast also includes Cameron Clifford (A Boy) and Matthew Schechter (A Boy).  The design team includes Santo Loquasto (Sets), Jane Greenwood (Costumes), Peter Kaczorowski (Lights) and Dan Moses Schreier (Sound).

Waiting for Godot remains Samuel Beckett’s most magical and beautiful allegory.  The story revolves around two seemingly homeless men waiting for someone – or something – named Godot.  Vladimir (Bill Irwin) and Estragon (Nathan Lane) wait near a tree on a barren stretch of road, inhabiting a drama spun from their own consciousness.  The result is a comical wordplay of poetry, dreamscapes and nonsense, which has been interpreted as a somber summation of mankind’s inexhaustible search for meaning.

Tickets are available by calling Roundabout Ticket Services at (212)719-1300, online at www.roundabouttheatre.org or at the Studio 54 theatre box office (254 West 54^th Street).

Set in a small mining town in Democratic Republic of Congo, this powerful play follows Mama Nadi, a shrewd businesswoman in a land torn apart by civil war. But is she protecting or profiting by the women she shelters? How far will she go to survive? Can a price be placed on a human life?
