It is helmed by Ian Rickson, who previously directed Thomas as Madame Arkadina in The Seagull, for which she won the Olivier Award for Best Actress in London; she subsequently reprised the role on Broadway. Thomas' other recent theatre roles include appearances in Pirandello's As You Desire Me and Three Sisters, both in the West End. Her films include "Gosford Park," "The Horse Whisperer," "The English Patient," "Mission Impossible," "Angels and Insects" (for which she won the Evening Standard British Film Award for Best Actress) and "Four Weddings and a Funeral" (for which she won a BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role and the Evening Standard British Film Award for Best Actress). She has just finished filming "Bel Ami" and "Salmon Fishing in Yemen," both due for release later this year.

Miles was last on stage playing the Duke in Michael Attenborough's production of Measure for Measure at the Almeida Theatre, and before that starred in The Norman Conquests, first at the Old Vic and subsequently at Broadway's Circle in the Square.
