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.
