The final production in the Ralph Fiennes / Theatre Royal Bath Season is this powerful new drama by Rebecca Lenkiewicz.
Since her first major film role alongside Elizabeth Taylor in the epic Cleopatra, Francesca Annis established herself as one of our most acclaimed actresses. A stellar stage career with the RSC and National Theatre encompassed many iconic roles including Juliet opposite Ian McKellen’s Romeo in Romeo and Juliet. A six-time BAFTA TV award nominee, winning for the ITV series Lillie, other notable screen roles range from an acclaimed Lady Macbeth in Roman Polanski’s Macbeth, to co-starring with Michael Gambon and Judi Dench in the BBC series Cranford.
In SMALL HOTEL, Ralph Fiennes plays Larry, an acclaimed TV celebrity whose life and career are rapidly unravelling. As he is forced to unpick his past and confront his future, the audience are introduced to a collection of unforgettable character, including his troubled twin brother Richard, his unpredictable former lover Marianne, and his domineering mother Athena played by Francesca Annis. Further casting is to be announced.
Rebecca Lenkiewicz is an acclaimed playwright and screenwriter whose work has been performed all over the world. With Her Naked Skin in 2008, Rebecca became the first living female playwright to have an original play performed on the National Theatre’s Olivier stage.
Other original plays include: The Night Season, Winner of Critics Circle Most Promising Playwright Award 2004 and nominated for an Evening Standard and the Susan Smith Blackburn Award (Cottesloe Theatre, National Theatre); Shoreditch Madonna (Soho Theatre); The Painter (Arcola Theatre).
Films include: Ida, written with Pawel Pawlikowksi, winner of an Academy Award and BAFTA for Best Foreign Film (Opus Films, Phoenix Films & Portobello Pictures); Disobedience (Braven Films, Film 4 & Element Films); Colette (Number 9 Films, Killer Films & Bold Films), She Said, feature adaptation of the book by Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey, winner of the Writers Guild Award (Universal/Plan B).
