Friday, 2nd February 2007: "SOLDIER'S FORTUNE" REHEARSAL SHOTS

The official website for "The Soldier's Fortune" has been updated with great shots taken by Keith Pattinson during rehearsal in a South London studio.

Cast and crew are having a great time working on the play. Director David Lan is enjoying being back in rehearsals..." I've wanted to direct Thomas Otway's extraordinary comedy for years. I'm working with a wonderful cast and we're having a tremendous amount of fun with his brilliantly frank discussion of human fantasy - mostly of a sexual nature. "

For those of you who didn't know, the play will be at the Young Vic from February 16th to March 31. Be sure to get your tickets at the theatre's official site!
