And with a great new photo of the cast! Go here for the original article.
One of this year’s most anticipated productions opens here in London before transferring straight to Broadway. La Bête stars the extraordinary, multi award-winning Mark Rylance; David Hyde Pierce, best known as for his brilliant portrayal of Niles Crane in the best-ever TV sitcom Frasier and a seasoned theatre performer; and Joanna Lumley, who also achieved TV sitcom immortality as Patsy Stone in Ab Fab. David Hirson’s 1991 play – a battle between Valère, a lowbrow street clown, and high-minded dramatist Elomire to win the theatrical favours of a princess, all in rhyming couplets – won an Olivier award when it was staged here with Alan Cumming at the Lyric Hammersmith. It failed to transfer, but Cumming went on to success on the back of Cabaret. Rylance will no doubt rise to the challenge here, too.
