La Bete, Comedy Theatre, 2010.
Cast: Mark Rylance, David Hyde Pearce, Joanna Lumley, Stephen Ouimette, Lisa Joyce, Greta Lee, Robert Lonsdale, Michael Milligan, Liza Sadovy, Sally Wingert.
Writer: David Hirson
Director: Matthew Warchus.
I imagine the reason I dragged a friend along to see this was Joanna Lumley, in the second of only three theatre productions this century. But arguably the bigger deal was David Hyde Pearce making his only London appearance (so far) but as I didn't watch Frasier this meant less to me. I find Mark Rylance difficult.
It was a period piece, at least I remember there being period costumes, and I think it was a bit of a romp - I remember laughing hard at something. They're all comedians so it would have been silly to get them all to play straight.
