Breaking Baz: Oscar-Nominated Stars Colman Domingo & Jeremy Strong In Talks To Make Their Debuts At UK’s National Theatre
Colman Domingo And Jeremy Strong Have Been Invited By Indhu Rubasingham To Debut At U.K.’s National Theatre
Rubasingham, as we reported, announced her inaugural season of plays and musicals Tuesday, featuring an array of starry names with strong stage chops that include Paul Mescal ( Gladiator II), Letitia Wright ( Black Panther), Monica Barbaro ( A Complete Unknown), Nicola Coughlan ( Bridgerton) and Aidan Turner ( Rivals). Rubasingham will direct an updated version of the Ancient Greek tale Bacchae by Nima Taleghani with James McArdle ( Mare of Easttown), Clare Perkins ( Wheel of Time) and Ukweli Roach ( Wolf) in the Olivier Theatre from September 13. The movie, about a seemingly unlikely alliance between queer activists and National Union of Mineworkers during the bitter miners strike in 1984, was a popular hit in the UK and featured a marvelous ensemble that included Bill Nighy ( Living), Andrew Scott ( All of Us Strangers), George MacKay ( 1917), Ben Schnetzer ( Y: The Last Man), Imelda Staunton ( The Crown), Jessica Gunning ( Baby Reindeer), Dominic West ( Rogue Heroes), Monica Dolan ( Sherwood), Paddy Considine ( MobLand), Joe Gilgun ( Brassic), Faye Marsay ( Adolescence) and Freddie Fox ( House of the Dragon).
