Richard Armitage to star in the Old Vic’s The Crucible


Hollywood heartthrob Richard Armitage is to star in the Old Vic Theatre’s new production of Arthur Miller’s The Crucible.


The play starts previews on 24 June 2014 at the Old Vic, directed by South African writer and director Yael Farber (Mies Julie).

The Crucible also stars hot new actress Samantha Colley as Abigail Williams who has just graduated from Oxford School of Drama and will be making her professional debut in the role.

Richard Armitage currently appears in Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit movies, with other credits including Robin Hood and Spooks.

Currently playing at the Old Vic is Lindsay Posner’s terrific production of Jon Robin Baitz’s Broadway play Other Desert Cities starring Sinéad Cusack, Clare Higgins and Martha Plimpton.

Alongside The Crucible (24 June to 13 September), the Old Vic’s forthcoming new season also includes Kevin Spacey in Clarence Darrow (28 May to 15 June), and Kristin Scott Thomas in Electra (20 September to 20 December).

On The Casting Couch: Eve Best will be joined by Clive Wood, Jolyon Coy, Phil Daniels and Sirine Saba in Shakespeare's Antony And Cleopatra, opening at Shakespeare's Globe on 29th May; and Richard Armitage and Samantha Colley will head the cast of Arthur Miller's The Crucible, opening at the Old Vic Theatre on 9th July.

Aber woher wissen wir, an welchen Daten er tatsächlich auf der Bühne steht und nicht die Zweitbesetzung?

Kriegt man das vorher raus?

Wir hatten in London wegen DC schon einmal eine Enttäuschung, allerdings wg. Erkrankung..

Ich finde es übrigens auch sehr schön, dass er im Moment wieder recht UK - orientiert zu sein scheint .
