CIRCUS SUNDAYS: Waterfront June 9, 2003 THE BROOKLYN PAPERS WWW.BROOKLYNPAPERS.COM 5 End of the line Actress August says ‘Ghosts’ will be final Ingmar Bergman production at BAM

By Kevin Filipski for The Brooklyn Papers

or the 11th time in 15 years, a Royal Dramatic Theatre of Swe- Fden production directed by Ing- mar Bergman is coming to BAM. That’s the good news. The bad news? It looks like Bergman’s staging of Ibsen’s “Ghosts,” June 10-14 at the BAM Harvey Theater, will also be his last. At least that’s what actress Pernil- la August, who plays the pivotal role of Mrs. Alving in “Ghosts,” believes. “I think this is the last one for him,” August said matter-of-factly from her home in Sweden. “I really think he’s finally stopping this time ... at least that’s what he’s told us.” If that last comment seemed to Bengt Wanselius leave the door open for a change of August guest: Pernilla August, as Mrs. Alving, and Jonas Malmsjö, heart by the great director, August as Osvald, in “Ghosts,” directed by Ingmar Bergman. didn’t think so. “He’s told us that several other Amy Irving demonstrated.
