  • FINISHING the PICTURE by Arthur Miller
    Press Information ! ! ! VIBRANT NEW WRITING | UNIQUE REDISCOVERIES June–August Season 2018 The UK premiere of Arthur Miller’s final play FINISHING THE PICTURE by Arthur Miller. Directed by Phil Willmott. Set Design by Isabella Van Braeckel. Costume Design by Penn O’Gara. Lighting Design by Rachel Sampley. Sound Design by Nicola Chang. Presented by Nastazja Somers for The Phil Willmott Company in association with the Finborough Theatre. Cast: Patrick Bailey. Stephen Billington. Jeremy Drakes. Nicky Goldie. Rachel Handshaw. Oliver Le Sueur. Tony Wredden. "She is frightened and resentful and angry – and we’ve got about half an hour to cure all three.” Following his critically acclaimed, up-close reinvention of Arthur Miller’s Incident at Vichy and sell-out revival of The American Clock, multi-award-winning director Phil Willmott brings the intense focus of the intimate Finborough Theatre to bear on Miller’s final work, Finishing The Picture, opening for a four week limited season on Tuesday, 12 June 2018 (Press Nights: Thursday, 14 June 2018 and Friday, 15 June 2018 at 7.30pm.) As the women of today’s Hollywood campaign for dignity and equality, Finishing the Picture is a razor sharp psychological study of an abused, misunderstood female star and the havoc her unpredictability brings to a film set in 1961. Inspired by the filming of The Misfits, the screenplay Miller wrote for his then wife, Marilyn Monroe, and focused on the bemused and exasperated director, screen writer, producer, acting coaches and crew that closely mirror the real life production team of The Misfits – and whilst leading lady Kitty shares many characteristics with Monroe herself, Finishing the Picture – Arthur Miller’s very final play – is a devastating indictment of how a male-dominated movie industry inadvertently destroyed a vulnerable young woman, even as they transformed her into a screen goddess, and how they were unable to deal with the wreckage they caused.
