One of the other thirds is Dumbledore Scientific sexy voice!And You can catch Alan in action on a documentary about Doris Lessing, Nobel Peace Prize winner.

News about Creditors from playbill.com www.playbill.com/news/article/118708.htmlCasting has been revealed for the Donmar Warehouse's forthcoming production of Strindberg's Creditors.
The previously announced Alan Rickman will direct Anna Chancellor, Owen Teale and Tom Burke in the play, which will begin previews Sept. 25, open Sept. 30 and run through Nov. 15.
Written in 1890 and described in press materials as Strindberg's most mature work, Creditors is a darkly comic tale of obsession, honor and revenge. It is presented in a new version by regular Donmar playwright/adaptor David Greig.
The production continues the Donmar's commitment to presenting European drama in new adaptations for a modern audience. Rickman, best known as an actor, has also previously directed My Name Is Rachel Corrie (Royal Court Theatre and subsequently at the West End's Playhouse Theatre and Off-Broadway) and The Winter Guest at the Almeida. Playwright/translator Greig previously provided the Donmar with a new version of Caligula, while his original play The Cosmonaut's Last Message to the Woman He Once Loved in the Former Soviet Union was revived at the Donmar in 2005.
Chancellor returns to the Donmar, where she previously appeared in 2001 with Zoe Wanamaker and Lyndsey Marshal in the British premiere of David Mamet's Boston Marriage. More recently she appeared in a touring production of Amelia Bullmore's Mammals, in 2006. She is also known for her film and TV work, appearing as Duckface in "Four Weddings and a Funeral," the 1995 BBC adaptation of "Pride and Prejudice" and as a regular character in BBC1's "Spooks."
Teale won the 1997 Tony Award for Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a Play for re-creating his West End role as Torvald Helmer in A Doll's House. He also appeared as John O'Brien in a stage and TV version of Catherined Cookson's The Fifteen Streets, and did two seasons with the RSC, where his roles included Hotspur in Henry IV, Mark Antony in Julius Caesar and Edmund in King Lear. More recently, he played the title role in Macbeth for director Terry Hands at Clwyd Theatre Cymru in May 2008.
Burke was last seen at the Donmar Warehouse in Mark Ravenill's The Cut. Other theatre credits include Romeo in Romeo and Juliet at Shakespeare's Globe and Macbeth at the Almeida.

Found this little snippet in a New York Times article that someone wrote about their London Theater experience. They wrote this in their aritcle I found it to be interesting and it kept popping up in my mind as I have gone about my day:
"Some of them froze, some of them waved, some of them (kids, mostly) hammed it up. One person crossed and exited with such self-effacement as to be almost invisible. He turned out to be Alan Rickman, the stage star best known in the U.S. as the erudite villain in the first “Die Hard” and the snarky Prof. Snape in the Harry Potter movies."

So lucky that you live where you can see the man, unlike me. Read your review and it really sounded like a wonderful experience. My daughter does dance so I am sure that it would have been something that we would have really loved. Thanks so much for your pictures and giving those of us who will never be able to see it some insight into this wonderful event.
