Seats selling fast so early booking is advised. Joely Richardson, star of Golden Globe winning US TV series Nip/Tuck and The Tudors plays Ellida. Her recent stage appearance in Side Effects in New York won resounding plaudits. Joely’s recent film releases include Anonymous in which she co-starred with her mother, Vanessa Redgrave; Girl with the Dragon Tattoo with Daniel Craig; Red Lights with Robert De Niro and Sigourney Weaver and Thanks for Sharing with Gwyneth Paltrow, Mark Ruffalo and Tim Robbins.
This major revival is directed by Stephen Unwin, widely hailed for his five productions of Ibsen, including an award-winning Hedda Gabler at the Donmar. Set design is by Simon Higlett, costume design by Mark Bouman and music by Corin Buckeridge.
