Up Road At Harry Potter Naked On Stage

WWW.J-LOU.COM

Daniel Radcliffe, the actor who plays Harry Potter, has chosen to make his London stage debut wearing nothing! Daniel Radcliffe has been cast to play the stable boy in Equus, Peter Shaffer’s controversial drama about a boy’s erotic relationship with horses. The show is due to open in London’s West End in early 2007
 

The 17-year-old actor, who is now a multimillionaire thanks to the Harry Potter films, has been cast as the stable boy in Equus, Peter Shaffer’s controversial drama about a boy’s erotic relationship with horses.
Peter Thompson, a spokesman for the production, said that Radcliffe would appear in the play, scheduled for early 2007 in a West End theatre.
He will play Alan Strang, a psychologically disturbed youth who is interviewed by a psychiatrist after he blinds six horses with a metal spike.
The role requires the actor to simulate sexual pleasure while riding naked on his horse. It is a departure for Radcliffe, whose career has been dominated by his part as JK Rowling’s teenage wizard. He recently finished filming December Boys, in which he plays one of four orphans hoping to be adopted.
Richard Griffiths, who plays Harry Potter’s curmudgeonly uncle in the films, is in talks to take the psychiatrist role. It would be a triumphant return to the London stage for the actor, who won a Tony award for his lead role in The History Boys.
Last week, the pair were filming Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the fifth in the series.
Shaffer’s work caused a sensation when it was first staged at the National Theatre in 1973. It transferred to Broadway, where it starred Anthony Hopkins, and ran for 1,200 performances, making it one of the most successful plays in New York history. It was made into a Hollywood film starring Richard Burton in 1977.
The playwright, whose works include Amadeus and The Royal Hunt of the Sun, based the story on a real-life incident in which a boy inexplicably maimed six horses.
It encompasses sexual awakening, Greek mythology and religion. The psychiatrist attempts to explain the boy’s actions, but must confront his own demons in the process.
The play was the subject of controversy recently after John Owen, a drama teacher at Ysdgol Gyfun Rhydfelen in Pontypridd, was accused of sexual abuse after staging it as a school play. He committed suicide the day before he was due to appear in court.
A subsequent report by the National Assembly for Wales called for a ban on Equus in schools.
Radcliffe’s agent did not respond to inquiries.

Harry now may be upstaged by Billie Piper getting her kit off in her show Treats, when it transfers to the West End Stage.  Reports suggest that the director wants to spice up the bedroom scene by getting Billie to take off her clothes.
Billie is not happy apparently and is concerned about how she will look if she strips down in front of an audience full o fans.
If you don’t like it and don’t want your kids to see it then do not go, it is a simple as.

British actress Dame Helen Mirren has dominated this year’s Golden Globes, Although Babel and Dreamgirls won the two main film categories.

She received acting prizes as Elizabeth I in the TV mini-series of the same name and as Elizabeth II in The Queen, which also won best film screenplay.

There were two further awards for Elizabeth I, while Martin Scorsese was best director for The Departed.

Forest Whitaker, Sacha Baron Cohen and Meryl Streep also won acting Globes.

Whitaker’s leading role in The Last King of Scotland, in which he plays Ugandan dictator Idi Amin, earned him best actor in a film drama.

Â

Baron Cohen described Borat, his controversial parody of a Kazakh journalist, as “a life-changing experience”.

“Thank you to every American who has not sued me so far,” he joked after receiving the trophy for best comedy actor in a movie.

Meanwhile Streep said her Golden Globe for The Devil Wears Prada - for which she was named best actress in a comedy film - made her “want to cry with gratitude”.

Dame Helen told the BBC that it was “a fantastic night in general for British writers and directors and actors“.

Â

“I hope we don’t suffer a backlash next year - we may well.”

She added: “For me personally it was one of the best nights of my life.”

Jeremy Irons, who won best supporting actor in a mini-series, said it had been “wonderful” to play opposite Dame Helen in Elizabeth I.

“Why is it that the jobs that are the most fun are the ones that give you the awards?” he asked.

The hills are alive and they certainly were, having followed Graham Norton and Andrew Lloyd Webber through their quest on how to solve a problem like Maria that was televised especially to find the next leading person in the musical The Sound of Music, tickets were purchase to see Connie Fisher in action.

 

We had heard rumours that out of 52 shows she had not done 12, as we went to a weekend matinee we had hoped that we may be lucky and get to see the person we had paid for, sadly not, it was her understudy who usually plays Lizal and though it was a bit of a mickey take in the fact she was made to look extremely like Connie.

Obviously not being her fault she performed to the best of her ability and received a standing ovation.
