The Weir, The Bacchae and Nathan Stewart-Jarrett

from The London Theatre Review

Nancy Durrant, Nick Clark and Tim Bano head to the National for Indhu Rubasingham’s first production as its new artistic director, Nima Taleghani’s bold, chaotic new spin on Euripides's Bacchae. Guinness (and a small one) all round as they settle in for Brendan Gleeson’s spellbinding West End debut in Conor McPherson’s chilling ghost story The Weir at the Harold Pinter Theatre. Plus Nick chats to Nathan Stewart-Jarrett playing Jack (or is it Earnest?) in The Importance of Being Earnest (or is it Jack?), while Oliver Johnstone, currently starring in Romans at the Almeida, is subject to our five random questions.
