Breaking Baz: Gary Oldman, ‘Slow Horses’ Star & Oscar Winner, Will Return To British Stage After 4-Decade Absence In 2025
Slow Horses Star & Oscar Winner Gary Oldman Will Be Back On British Stage After 37-Year Absence
The young Oldman’s first job took him to York, where he played a series of roles in a real variety of shows, from Oliver Goldsmith’s Restoration comedy She Stoops To Conquer to Peter Nichols’ Privates on Parade, but nothing topped his Cat in the pantomime Dick Whittington. Oldman’s last performance in a theatre was in Caryl Churchill’s 1987 satirical play Serious Money at the London Royal Court with an ensemble that included Meera Syal, Alfred Molina, Alan Corduner, and his then-wife, Lesley Manville. The shows are based on Mick Herron’s novels about the British secret intelligence misfits at Slough House, overseen by Oldman’s unkempt rogue, the brilliant Jackson Lamb.
