Still fixated about doing a first class revival of Cat On A Hot Tin Roof, love to see Carey Mulligan play Cat, it is the the holidays week you are allowed to dream. Last February, the first show programmed by Tamara Harvey as the new artistic director of Theatr Clwyd was Robert Hastie's production of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, with Catrin Stewart, which toured to two other venues after playing a month at home. |

I've just been reading a Sunday magazine in the bath which had an interview with Sienna Miller from a few weeks back. In it, it's mentioned that she is in advanced talks to be in Cat On...at Wyndham's sometime next year. No mention of director/producer.

Thought she was fine in Flare Path whilst Sheridan Smith hammed it up dreadfully.

I wouldn't be surprised if Sonia Friedman is the producer given she worked with Sienna Miller on As You Like It |

Next year is only a day away, so wonder if this is 2017 or the year after. This play with Sienna in that small theatre, will sell well, but saying that is Sienna still a star name, is she bigger or smaller name since Flare Path? i am not a showbiz person! |

Do you or anyone else know what 2 other venues this went to? the Theatr Clwyd (never been) is a bit like the Watermill in Newbury, a pain in the arse to get to, I understand it is near Mount Snowden and probably getting to the summit of that is easier than getting to Theatr Clwyd. Still I like to visit it one day, have to make it a New Year resolutuion. |

You do have to walk uphill to it! |

With it being 100 years of the Russian revolution in 2017, maybe there are interesting opportunities around that for the NT? I know they have done that quite a bit with Collaborators and White Guard, but perhaps they could do something like a dissident writers season, from Russia and the satellite states - for eg, I don't recall any Vaclav Havel being staged in London for ages. And to bring it up to date, who are the modern day Russian dissident writers? I'm too ignorant to know but would be fascinated to see what they're saying. And with how things in America seem likely to shape up in 2017, there could be a great, timely new play about the relationship between US and Russian leaders - Kennedy/Khrushchev, Reagan/Gorbachev and now Trump/Putin. Preferably not by David Hare though...
This is very indulgent as probably I'd be in an audience of one finding this sort of stuff irresistible, but what the hell.

I'll come with you Abby as long as these are proper plays and not clever clever rants. So agreed, not by Mr Hare ( I love his early work 😳) |

What I'd really like is a proper programme of hosting transfers of notable productions from the regions. At present it seems to be far too random and piecemeal: some productions go on tour, then end in London or include it amongst the tour venues; a limited number of NT productions visit a very small number of large regional venues and the odd thing makes it to the NT from somewhere relatively near anyway, e.g. CFT.
Why on earth cannot some of the regional producing theatres (Bath, Colchester, Leicester, Manchester, Northampton, Plymoouth, Sheffield, etc, to name but a handful) and the NT collaborate to ensure both a wider audience and a longer life for so much good work which many of us, whether elsewhere or local to London, can currently only read and dream of seeing?
It is now becoming common to see not just co-productions between regional theatres but for three of the latter to be involved. I'm not advocating an even greater number of producers per production but suggesting that this trend is promising and achieves the aims I've mentioned above, so why not a complementary scheme to spread the work? The NT could and should take the lead here if it really merits the "National" part of its name.

So RSC and NT both have Antony and Cleopatra? At the same time? Yes. No. This is very old news. RSC is this year, March to September in Stratford (and, I suppose, possibly autumn in London but not yet announced). The NT is spring 2018. |

Oh, so Baz is tweeting NT spoilers. Wanker! I assume he has permission of some sort, or he was given information from a leak. I doubt he would be breaking an embargoed press release. In Nov, a new stage version of the film Network, directed by Lee Hall |
