I'm in this play:


I'm currently in this play, which just started previews on Broadway: One Man, Two Guvnors.

It just came over from London, where it played to sold out crowds at The National Theater and where it is now running in the West End. It will open on Broadway on April 18th with most of the original cast, plus me.

It's a truly wonderful cast, directed by Sir Nicholas Hytner. And I'm living out a lifelong fantasy of being in a British farce set in the 1960's. Perhaps the candid backstage photo below will demonstrate just how British, how farcical and how 60's the whole thing is.
