La Bête, starring DHP, Mark Rylance and Joanna Lumley, has been confirmed for London/NYC! The play will be at London’s Comedy Theatre from 26 June to 28 August before transferring to Broadway. Keep an eye on the (currently basic) official website for more deets!
According to the press release, David will be playing Elomire:
American playwright David Hirson’s rollicking 1991 play, La Bête, is a comic tour de force about Elomire (Pierce), a high-minded classical dramatist who loves only the theatre, and Valere (Rylance), a low-brow street clown who loves only himself. When the fickle princess (Lumley) decides she’s grown weary of Elomire’s royal theatre troupe, he and Valere are left fighting for survival as art squares off with ego in a literary showdown for the ages.
Tickets for the London show are on sale HERE.
Just checked the dates….. unfortunately there ain’t no show on my b-day (august 22nd)
If anyone knows about a good deal on plane ticket and accommodation…. let me know through the forum or send a PM.
Fantastic news you’re playing London David. I was a great thrill to see you a couple of years back in Broadway in Curtains.
