Dominic West heading West Country to give his Eddie Carbone in yet another production of A View From The Bridge; this time at Theatre Royal Bath in Feb. Dir. Lindsay Posner.
Should be intense in the Ustinov Studio, but will it transfer east to London? Maybe the Young Vic? Too soon after Strong?

Theatre Royal Bath only ever seems to transfer Noises Off these days, as far as I can see.

Wonder what kind of stage will they employ in this production…thrust stage? Could @sohoplace be the West End venue should it transfer? I think it could be configured as a thrust, but the in the round staging is so cool and I think it should stay that way.
It’s been years I believe since the last time Dom performed on stage (the last one was the Donmar production of Les liaisons?), but him playing the now King Charles in The Crown would give more visibility to this production. Although The Crown’s final season is so divisive (as a longtime fan of the show, I felt disappointed with season 5; part 1 of season 6 was ok but they really milked on the Diana saga), but his name sells seats.

Odd that Lindsay Posner would direct this again, he directed the Ken Stott version in the West End in 2009.

There are about 100 seats in the Ustinov. In April Posner is directing David Morrissey and Matthew Horne in a Pinter double-bill, The Lover and The Collection, in the same place.

I'd love to see Dominic West in the role. Hope this comes to London...

I wasn't impressed with Dominic West when he was in Les Liasons Dangereuses at the Donmar, he stumbled over lines during the play.

I honestly don't think he can act. He managed a decent Fred West impersonation but Monica Dolan still handed him his pick axe and shovel.

The Haymarket is a laughably bad venue for this transfer, how can a tiny studio theatre production fill that terrible old cavern without being hopelessly compromised ? |

He hosts hunts in Ireland where foxes are ripped apart by hounds and die in agony. West and his works can do one

Expensive too. Most of the stalls is £90+ Very expensive. The royal circle seat that cost me £15 for Accidental Death of an Anarchist - at the back and off to the side, booked in advance, it wasn't an on-the-day special offer - is going for £90 for this. |

The plot thickens! Someone previously mentioned on here that a new - I think West End - production of The Collection was in the offing.
Interesting match ups: v. keen
As for this production, it's more A View from the Double Decker, for me. Ridiculous pricing - half expect to see it papering.

Only half-expect ? I fully expect papering and lots of offers. |

Can't believe the YV Strong one was 10 years ago. Time is ravaging.

Has anyone seen this? Any reviews out? No press night in Bath - at least nationally - once its transfer to Haymarket was confirmed. |
