Great news for European MSM fans!! She makes her London stage debut
Mary Stuart Masterson and Steven Weber to Join Kevin Spacey For Old
Vic National Anthems
Casting details have been released for Kevin Spacey's acting
debut with his Old Vic company, Dennis McIntyre's National
Anthems.
Mary Stuart Masterson and Steven Weber will appear alongside the
Oscar winning actor.
The play depicts a Detroit suburb in the late 1980's, where a
newly arrived couple are surprised by a visit from a mysterious
neighbor. Spacey previously appeared in the play at the Long Wharf
Theatre in Connecticut's New Haven, when his co-stars were Tom
Berenger and Mary McDonnell. He'll reprise his old role of the
neighbor, Ben Cook, in London.
Mary Stuart Masterson makes her London stage debut as Leslie Reed.
However, her New York appearances have included Alice In Wonderland
and Nine, for which she was nominated for a Tony and won the 2003
Theatre World Award. Her many movie credits include "Immediate
Family" and "Fried Green Tomatoes." Steven Weber has
played Leo Bloom in The Producers on Broadway.
The show will be directed by David Grindley. Another of his
productions, Journey's End, is currently enjoying a long run in
the West End (at the Duke of York's Theatre). Designs will be by
Jonathan Fensom, sound by Gregory Clarke and lighting by Jason
Taylor.
The show will begin previews (following the forthcoming Old Vic
production of Aladdin, starring Ian McKellen and Maureen Lipman) on
Feb. 1, 2005, with opening night on Feb. 8. It will run until April
23.

No question, I have to go and see it. It's only a 1 hour 15 min.
flight from Zurich to London.
