Islington is where the Hollywood stars shine

Article Abstract:

A number of Hollywood film stars are planning to appear in productions at the Almeida theatre in Islington, London, England. This theatre has an extremely ambitious casting policy, but this seems to have reaped benefits. Indeed, it is regarded by some observers as the most interesting theatre venue in the city. Liam Neeson is to play Oscar Wilde in David Hare's new play 'The Judas Kiss,' while Kevin Spacey will appear in Eugene O'Neill's 'The Iceman Cometh' in Apr 1998. The theatre's strong reputation attracts actors who could normally expect to earn a lot more.

Britannia rules the stage

Article Abstract:

Many American film actors and actresses have been working on the stage in the UK during 1996. This is partly because there are few opportunities for stage work in the US and partly because acting on the stage in the UK is regarded as a valuable career move, even though it is not financially rewarding. In some case, directors like to use actors and actresses who have genuine American accents.
