It has now been confirmed
that Hugh Whitemore's adaptation of Luigi Pirandello's
1936 play, As You Desire Me, a rarely performed
tragedy, will open on October 27, 2005 (previews from
October 21) at London's Playhouse Theatre.
Joining 'Four Weddings and a Funeral' star Kristin Scott
Thomas in the cast will be Margaret Tyzack and Bob
Hoskins. The popular British actress will appear as a
Berlin nightclub singer with amnesia in As You Desire
Me, by Italian dramatist, Luigi Pirandello.
Tyzack has enjoyed a long and distinguished career in
theatre, with His Girl Friday (National Theatre) and
Auntie and Me (West End) her most recent ventures.
Hoskins however, though rarely seen on stage, is highly
regarded for his work in films such as The Long Good
Friday, Who Framed Roger Rabbit? and Hook.
The play centres on a woman, calling herself Zara, whose
life is interrupted when a stranger arrives insisting
her name is Maria and that her husband, who she does not
remember, is looking for her.
