New Royal Court season reunites Simon Stephens and Sherlock’s Andrew Scott
Playwright Simon Stephens will reunite with Sherlock’s Andrew Scott for a new play about an international rockstar at the Royal Court.
The pair last collaborated on Sea Wall, a short Stephens wrote for the Bush theatre’s Broken Space season in 2008, which was made into a film and transferred to the National Theatre’s the Shed earlier this year.
In Stephens’ new play, Birdland, Scott will play a megastar during the last week of an international tour. Despite opening in April 2014, the play will be Stephens’ second of the year, after the Royal Exchange’s premiere of Blindsided. It will mark Scott’s first appearance at the Royal Court since he starred opposite Ben Whishaw in Mike Bartlett’s Olivier award-winning play Cock.
脚本はサイモン・スティーブンス。アンドリューとサイモンのこのコンビは、今年NTのShedで再演された『Sea Wall』のコンビでもあります。
