HBO is rounding out cast for The Nevers , its straight-to-series drama from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator and The Avengers writer/director Joss Whedon. Joining lead Laura Donnelly are Olivia Williams ( Miss Austen Regrets ), James Norton ( Grantchester) , Tom Riley ( Dark Heart) , Ann Skelly ( Death and Nightingales ), Ben Chaplin ( The Children Act), Pip Torrens (The Crown) , Zackary Momoh ( Seven Seconds), Amy Manson (Torchwood ), Nick Frost ( Fighting With My Family ), Rochelle Neil ( Death in Paradise), Eleanor Tomlinson (Poldark) and Denis O’Hare ( This Is Us) . Co-written by Whedon and Buffy alums Jane Espenson and Doug Petrie and directed by Whedon, The Nevers is an epic science fiction drama about a gang of Victorian women who find themselves with unusual abilities, relentless enemies, and a mission that might change the world. Related Story. WWE Star Big Show To Headline Netflix Live-Action Family Comedy Series. Williams will play Lavinia Bidlow. A wealthy spinster and champion of the “Touched”, Lavinia funds the Orphanage (where Amalia and many of the Touched live) through her vast family fortune. She is stern and old-fashioned, but as strong-willed and clever as anyone she confronts. Norton is Hugo Swan, a pansexual posh boy whose charm has about five years left on its lease. He runs a secret club and a side trade in blackmail. He’s devoted to fulfilling everyone’s worst impression of him – and fascinated by the Touched. Riley portrays Augustus “Augie” Bidlow, a sweet, disarming nerd and Lavinia’s younger brother. A keen ornithologist, Augie is happy to let his older sister take the reins of the family fortune. He finds the Touched unnerving, but is drawn to them by his increasing infatuation with Miss Adair, and by the schemes of his nefarious best friend, Hugo. Skelly is Penance Adair, Amalia’s (Donnelly) dearest friend, and one of the first women to join her cause. A devout – yet heretically progressive – Irish girl, Penance has genius for invention. She is delighted by her power, and her default is love and acceptance. But she’s firm in her moral sense, and will be guided by what’s right over what’s expedient every time. Chaplin portrays Detective Frank Mundi. Big, gruff, and deeply moral, Detective Mundi trusts no one, least of all himself: his reputation for sudden violence (and excessive drink) is not unwarranted. Frank finds himself caught between the powerful, who ignore the the laws of the land, and newly empowered, who ignore the laws of physics. Torrens is Lord Massen – Staunch, unflappable and merciless in his defense of the British Empire, this former General, now Peer, may be the only man who sees clearly what havoc these few strange people can wreak upon the established order. Which he will protect, one way or another. Momoh plays Doctor Horatio Cousens. One of the few successful West Indian physicians in London. Married with a young son, Horatio’s fortunes took a dark turn when he met Amalia and discovered his own ability. Now he works with her, and with the Beggar King, those who don’t care who is or isn’t “different.” Manson is Maladie. Committed by her husband (and genuinely unstable), she’s been warped by a power she can’t understand, and tortured by doctors intent on finding its source. She now lives underground, runs a gang and is on an infamous murder spree. She affects a theatrical parody of a bedlam waif, but mad as she is, she’s a woman with a purpose. Frost will play Declan Orrun, aka The Beggar King. Charismatic and brutal, Declan runs – or has a piece of – most of the low-level criminal activity in the city. He’s perfectly happy to help Amalia and her cause – and equally happy to sell them out. He backs winners, and the Touched are long odds. Neil is Annie Carbey, aka Bonfire, Annie is a career criminal who landed the ability to control fire and is happy to hire it out. Came up rough, stayed that way, but she’s neither impulsive nor cruel – just looking out for herself. No matter who she works with or for, Annie trusts only Annie, and the fire. Tomlinson plays Mary Brighton. Gentle but surprisingly resilient, Mary pursued her dream of singing on stage. A disappointing career and a broken engagement haven’t diminished her spirit. She’s going to be great. She’s going to be very surprised how. O’Hare portrays Dr. Edmund Hague. A gifted American surgeon, he uses his skills in the coldest, most brutal way possible. But it’s all in the name of progress! Whedon, who serves as showrunner and also directs, executive produces with Espenson, Petrie and Bernie Caulfield.

  • A Doll's House
    The National Theatre of Scotland and Royal Lyceum Theatre present SCOTTISH PREMIERE A Doll’s House By Henrik Ibsen, in a version by Zinnie Harris Directed by Graham McLaren Set Design by Robert Innes Hopkins, Lighting Design by Tim Mitchell, Sound Design by Nick Sagar Cast includes: Robert Cavanah, Brian McCardie, Lucianne McEvoy, Kevin McMonagle, Amy Manson, Sharon Young At the Royal Lyceum Theatre, Edinburgh from 16 April to 4 May 2013 Press Performance: Wednesday 17 April at 7.45pm Following the success of the critically acclaimed production The Guid Sisters in 2012, the National Theatre of Scotland is delighted to be working in partnership again with the Royal Lyceum Theatre, Edinburgh to bring this new version of Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House to the Scottish stage for the first time. A stellar cast of Scottish performers has been assembled, with the lead role of Nora being played by Amy Manson. This will mark Amy’s return to the Lyceum, where she won Best Performance (Female) in 2008 for her role in Six Characters in Search of an Author at the Critics' Awards for Theatre in Scotland. Since then she has gone on to enjoy success in British film and television. A Doll’s House caused outrage both in its style and content when first staged in 1879. Zinnie Harris has transposed her version from late 19th-century Norway to Edwardian London and shifted the tale of intrigue, fraud and betrayal from the world of finance to that of politics. Her version has strong contemporary resonances, revealing a world where duty, power and hypocrisy rule, and brings modern sensibilities to bear on Nora’s marriage, at the heart of the play.

Glasgow Theses Service http://theses.gla.ac.uk/ [email protected] Fashioning the Artist: Artistic Dress in Victorian Britain, 1848 - 1900 Robyne Erica Calvert Master of Arts, MLitt Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of PhD Department of History of Art School of Culture and Creative Arts University of Glasgow March 2012 © Robyne Erica Calvert, 2012 2 Abstract My research comprises a study focused on Artistic Dress circa 1848-1900, presenting a roughly chronological survey that seeks to further our knowledge on its development, varied manifestations, and influence, both during its time and on subsequent fashion trends. While Artistic Dress is a category that is acknowledged in the current literature on fashion history, it has had limited and at times conflicting treatment. It is most often employed to describe sartorial codes in which significant arts practitioners and patrons—particularly those associated with Pre- Raphaelitism, the Arts and Crafts Movement, Aestheticism, and Art Nouveau—wore (and at times designed and promoted) clothes that were frequently labelled in contemporary literature as ‘artistic’ or ‘aesthetic’.

  • Darstellerin Sheila Hancock (Spielt Edie)
    ORIGINALTITEL Edie LAUFLÄNGE 102 Minuten LAND/JAHR Großbritannien 2017 FSK ohne Altersbeschränkung REGIE Simon Hunter PRODUZENT Mark Stothert DREHBUCH Elizabeth O'Halloran KAMERA August Jakobsson SCHNITT Olly Stothert MUSIK Debbie Wiseman DARSTELLER Sheila Hancock, Kevin Guthrie, Amy Manson, Paul Brannigan, Wendy Morgan KINOSTART 23. Mai 2019 FACEBOOK www.facebook.com/Edie.DerFilm PRESSEMATERIAL www.weltkino.de/presse www.filmpresskit.de SYNOPSIS Edie hat sich ihr Leben lang nach den Bedürfnissen anderer gerichtet. Als ihre Tochter Nancy sie in ein Altersheim stecken will, beschließt die 83-Jährige, ihr Leben selbst in die Hand zu nehmen und sich einen fast vergessenen Traum zu erfüllen: den Berg Suilven in den schottischen Highlands zu erklimmen. Mit ihrer angestaubten Wanderausrüstung wagt sie das Abenteuer und engagiert den jungen Jonny, um sie für den herausfordernden Aufstieg vorzubereiten. Dieser lernt schnell ihren Dickkopf kennen, erfährt aber auch immer mehr über ihre Geschichte – und Edie beginnt allmählich, anderen und sich selbst zu vertrauen. So stolpern beide unverhofft in eine Freundschaft, die ihr Leben wunderbar auf den Kopf stellt. In der Hauptrolle der forschen aber liebenswerten Edie bahnt sich eine brillant aufspielende Sheila Hancock schnell ihren Weg in die Herzen der Zuschauer. In atemberaubenden Bildern fängt der Film die Schönheit der schottischen Highlands ein und offenbart wie beiläufig die Einmaligkeit des Lebens. Der beglückende Publikumsliebling erzählt von verpassten Chancen, der Erfüllung lang gehegter Träume und vom Mut, seinen eigenen Weg zu gehen. FILMLOCATIONS MOUNT SUILVEN, SCHOTTISCHE HIGHLANDS Der Suilven (gälisch: Sula Bheinn) gehört zu den markantesten Bergen Schottlands mit einer Höhe von 731 Metern. Er befindet sich in einer abgelegenen Region im Westen der Grafschaft Sutherland und erhebt sich fast senkrecht aus einer wilden Moorlandschaft mit kleinen Seen, bekannt als Inverpolly National Nature Reserve.
