Ralph Fiennes solves his doctor's dilemma
Ralph Fiennes will return to the London stage in a new version of Uncle Vanya, played in the round. Fiennes told me two years ago he was thinking about starring as the doctor in Dear Uncle, Alan Ayckbourn's version of Chekhov's play, set in the Lake District in 1935.
But he has now agreed to play the Dr Astrov character - although in the new adaptation he's called Dr Charles Ash. Yelena is now Helena, and the title character will be known as Uncle Marcus.
Ken Stott (if he's able) will most likely play Uncle Marcus, and Kristin Scott Thomas will play Helena if she's available.
Likewise, Carey Mulligan, our recent Bafta best actress for An Education, has always said she would play Sonia if the dates can be made to work.
An idea being explored is for Matthew Warchus to direct the production in the round. He, and producers David Pugh and Dafydd Rogers, intend to find out if the Roundhouse in Camden Town is available, or if the stage from Ayckbourn's Stephen Joseph Theatre in Scarborough (where productions are played in the round) can be replicated somewhere in London.
Fiennes has just begun pre-production and scouting locations for his film of Coriolanus, which will shoot in Belgrade with Gerard Butler, Vanessa Redgrave, Jessica Chastain, Brian Cox, Eddie Marsan and others.
He won't complete his post-production work on Coriolanus until next January.
Ayckbourn's Dear Uncle: Scenes From A Country Life In Four Acts is set in the blistering hot summer, so it would best be played during a real summer season.
The dates being discussed at the moment are June 2011.
Warchus wouldn't be available until then anyway, as he's pencilled in to start directing the musical Ghost (based on the movie) at the begining of next year.
Plus the production's dates have to fit in with Ayckbourn's schedule, and he would want to be on hand in London during rehearsals, previews and for the opening night.
