Kristin Davis to make West End debut

Comments

Kristin Davis, best known for playing prim New Yorker Charlotte in the HBO series Sex and the City, and its two spin-off films, will make her West End debut this March.

The actress will join the cast of Fatal Attraction, a stage version of the hit 1987 film, which centres on an extra-marital affair gone terrifyingly wrong.

Davis will play wronged wife Beth Gallagher, joining Mark Bazeley, who will play her cheating husband Dan Gallagher, and Natascha McElhone, who will star as obsessive femme fatale Alex Forrest – a part made famous by Glenn Close in the original film.

Rehearsals begin today and Davis is looking forward to getting started. Speaking to the London Evening Standard, she revealed that acting in the West End has always been one of her ambitions. “I definitely grew up thinking what I would do was theatre. And for anyone who has dreamed of doing theatre, the West End is right up there,” she said. “From a historical point of view, it's more important than Broadway — Broadway is exciting and I’ve done that. It’s the culmination of any theatre geek’s dream.”

The play, which will be directed by Trevor Nunn, opens at the Theatre Royal Haymarket on 25 March and will run until June 21.

Henning Mankell reveals cancer diagnosis

Comments

Henning Mankell has revealed in a newspaper column that he has cancer.

The Swedish author, playwright and Left-wing activist is best known for his 12 novels about disillusioned detective, Kurt Wallander, which have been made into a TV series in both his native Sweden, and in Britain, where Kenneth Branagh took the starring role.

Writing in Sweden's Göteborgs-Posten newspaper, Mankell explained that he had visited an orthopaedic surgeon in Stockholm in the New Year, as he believed he had a slipped disc. Doctors instead found tumours in his lung and neck, and fear the disease may have already spread elsewhere.

"When I came back to Gothenburg the next day I did it with a serious cancer diagnosis," Henning wrote. "I have no particular memories of the trip home, except for the indelible gratitude I feel for Eva Bergman, my wife, who was with me."

65-year-old Mankell is now close to starting treatment and has announced that he intends to document his experiences, saying: "Very early I decided to try to write about this, because it is ultimately about the pain and suffering that afflicts so many people
