  • The Judas Kiss Directed by Michael Michetti
    Contact: Niki Blumberg, Tim Choy 323-954-7510 [email protected], [email protected] Boston Court Pasadena presents David Hare’s The Judas Kiss Directed by Michael Michetti February 15 – March 24 Press Opening: February 23 2019 Theatre Season Sponsored by the S. Mark Taper Foundation PASADENA, CA (January 17, 2019) — Boston Court Pasadena commences the 2019 theatre season with a rare production of David Hare’s The Judas Kiss (February 15 – March 24), which tells the story of Oscar Wilde’s love for Lord Alfred “Bosie” Douglas – and tracking his downfall as he endures a brutal trial and life in exile. Helmed by Artistic Director Michael Michetti, the play examines a literary icon who continues to hold onto his passionate ideals of love and beauty as his life crumbles around him. Sir David Hare, the British playwright behind Plenty, Skylight, and Stuff Happens creates “an emotionally rich drama illuminated by Hare’s customary insight and humanity.” (The Globe and MaiI). The Judas Kiss features Rob Nagle (Oscar Wilde), Colin Bates (Lord Alfred “Bosie” Douglas), Darius De La Cruz (Robert Ross), Will Dixon (Sandy Moffatt), Matthew Campbell Dowling (Arthur Wellesley), Mara Klein (Phoebe Cane) and Kurt Kanazawa (Galileo Masconi). In spring of 1895, Oscar Wilde was larger than life. His masterpiece, The Importance of Being Earnest, was a hit in the West End and he was the toast of London. Yet by summer he was serving two years in prison for gross indecency. Punished for “the love that dare not speak its name,” Wilde remained devoted to his beloved, Lord Alfred “Bosie” Douglas.

  • Worricker: Turks & Caicos and Salting the Battlefield
    Johnny on the Run Worricker: Turks & Caicos and Salting the Battlefield Starring Bill Nighy On MASTERPIECE November 9 & 16, 2014 at 9pm ET on PBS Bill Nighy (Pirates of the Caribbean) reprises his Golden Globe–nominated role as master spy Johnny Worricker in two new thrillers, written and directed by Sir David Hare (Oscar®- nominated adapter of The Reader and The Hours). Wrapping up an intricate plot that began with Page Eight in 2011, involving secret crimes and unplumbed depths of political corruption, MASTERPIECE CONTEMPORARY presents Turks & Caicos on Sunday, November 9, followed a week later by Salting the Battlefieldon Sunday, November 16—both airing at 9pm ET on PBS (check local listings). The all-star cast includes Oscar winner Christopher Walken (The Deer Hunter), and Oscar® nominees Winona Ryder (Little Women, The Age of Innocence), Helena Bonham Carter (The King’s Speech, The Wings of the Dove), Ralph Fiennes (The English Patient, Schindler’s List), and Judy Davis (Husbands and Wives, A Passage to India). Also starring are Rupert Graves (Sherlock), Saskia Reeves (Wallander), and Ewen Bremner (Black Hawk Down). The New York Times praised Page Eight as “a moody modern-day espionage tale with flawless performances.”TV Guide raved, “This has the feel of top-shelf John le Carré-style literature written with droll cynicism by David Hare and exquisitely acted…. Page Eight bristles with jazzy intelligence.” And the critic for The Los Angeles Times implored, “There are reports that this film will be the first of a trilogy. I want that to be true.” Wish granted! Page Eight, Turks & Caicos, and Salting the Battlefield form The Worricker Trilogy—three gripping films that follow the exploits of the intensely private and scrupulousWorricker— from MI5 headquarters in London to exile on a Caribbean island to life on the run with his former lover and fellow agent Margot Tyrrell (Bonham Carter).

  • The Worricker Trilogy: Turks & Caicos and Salting the Battlefield
    Interview with Sir David Hare, Writer/Director of The Worricker Trilogy: Turks & Caicos and Salting the Battlefield Sundays, November 9 & 16, 2014 on MASTERPIECE CONTEMPORARY One of England’s foremost playwrights, screenwriters, and film directors, Sir David Hare completes his Worricker Trilogy on MASTERPIECE CONTEMPORARY with two more gripping dramas charting the exploits of spy-on-the-run Johnny Worricker, played by Bill Nighy. Turks & Caicos and Salting the Battlefield marvelously thicken the plot started by Page Eight, which first aired on MASTERPIECE in 2011. The two films bring Johnny together with fellow spook Margot Tyrrell (Helena Bonham Carter) and lead them to a heart-stopping denouement. It’s all in a day’s work for Hare, Academy Award® screenwriting nominee for The Hours and The Reader. Actually, the writing and directing were “completely exhausting,” he says in this interview with MASTERPIECE, in which he discusses his inspiration for the trilogy, the amazing cast, the spy genre, and much else. What is the genesis of the Worricker trilogy? When I wrote the first one Page[ Eight], the producer at the BBC said, “We can either make a feature film, in which case it will take three years to put the money and cast together. Or we can be filming in six months if you agree that it’s television.” And I said, “Okay, let’s do it on television.” Then the BBC immediately said, “Can we please have six?”—because quantity is something television understands. And I said, “No! It takes me a year to write one of these.” In the end, we all enjoyed ourselves so much on the first one that I agreed to do two more.

    PRESS CONTACT: Kate Kerns 503.445.3715 [email protected] MEDIA RELEASE PORTLAND FAVORITES GRETCHEN CORBETT AND SHARONLEE MCLEAN STAR IN DAVID HARE’S SARDONIC DRAMA, THE BREATH OF LIFE “One of Hare’s finest ... bitingly funny … deeply affecting.” -The Daily Telegraph Previews Begin May 4 | Opening Night is May 10 | Closes June 16 Tickets start at $25 April 5, 2019 — PORTLAND, OR. Portland favorites Gretchen Corbett and Sharonlee McLean take the stage beginning May 4 to star in David Hare’s The Breath of Life , a two-woman play The Daily Telegraph called “bitingly funny.” When Francis Beale (McLean) decides she wants one last word with her ex- husband’s ex-lover (Corbett), both women are forced to confront their past, their failed relationships, dashed ideals and the lens through which they choose to view their futures. Ken Rus Schmoll (readings in six of the last ten JAW Festivals at The Armory, productions at Playwrights Horizons and New York Theatre Workshop) will direct. Corbett (One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest , 2018 JAW Festival at The Armory) initially proposed this nuanced, character-driven play to Portland Center Stage at The Armory and did an early reading of the script with McLean ( The Receptionist and 25 others at The Armory). “It’s like doing Shakespeare, or Checkhov,” Corbett said of Hare’s script in a recent Artslandia interview. “He’s a spectacular writer, and that you get that opportunity to work with a really accomplished writer — as an actor — it’s such a privilege … He’s a funny, smart playwright.” “It’s hard,” McLean said of tackling this script.

  • Afternoon Tea at the Conrad & British Telly Club Meeting Saturday, 2 April
    Afternoon Tea at the Conrad & British Telly Club Meeting Supported by Bob & Toni Bader Saturday, 2 April 2016 NEW DRAMA CHOICES BROKENWOOD MYSTERIES 4x90 | 2014 – Prime New Zealand Detective Inspector Mike Shepherd (Neill Rea, Go Girls) arrives on assignment in Brokenwood, a small town where memories—and animosities—run deep. He’s an experienced cop with a 1971 “classic” car, a collection of country music cassettes, and an indeterminate number of ex-wives. The new woman in his life is his assistant, Detective Constable Kristin Sims (Fern Sutherland, The Almighty Johnsons), a by-the-book investigator nearly 20 years younger than her boss’s car, who quickly has to get used to his lone-wolf ways. PARTNERS IN CRIME 6x60 | 2013 - BBC Belgian detective Hercule Poirot and spinster sleuth Miss Marple weren’t Dame Agatha Christie’s only creations. She also invented Tommy and Tuppence Beresford, an ordinary married couple who stumble into spycraft and end up being rather good at it. In these sparkling new adaptations of two classic mysteries, set in 1950s Britain at the start of the Cold War, Tommy (David Walliams (Little Britain) and Tuppence (Jessica Raine, Call The Midwife, Wolf Hall) return to the small screen, bickering, sweet on each other, and soon knee-deep in danger. MISS FISHER MURDER MYSTERIES 3 Seasons, 34x60 | 2011 – Australian Broadcasting Corp The Honorable Miss Phryne Fisher (Essie Davis, Girl with a Pearl Earring) is a thoroughly modern woman of the late 1920s operating in a mostly male world. The glamorous “lady detective” goes about her work with a pistol close at hand—and, more often than not, a male admirer even closer.
