Andrew to star in Emperor and Galilean at Olivier Theatre

[soophelia.livejournal.com]

Ibsen's Emperor and Galilean will follow, opening June 15, with Jonathan Kent directing a cast that reunites him with Ian McDiarmid, with whom he used to run the Almeida, as well as Andrew Scott, Jamie Ballard, John Heffernan, Genevieve O'Reilly and Prasanna Puwanarajah.

Following the previously announced revival of The Cherry Orchard, starring Zoë Wanamaker and Conleth Hill, which opens the 2011 Travelex season in May, the Olivier will stage a new version of Ibsen’s little-known play about faith and politics, Emperor And Galilean. Jonathan Kent directs McDiarmid as Maximus and Andrew Scott (Design For Living, Cock) as the Emperor.
