JUDE LAW – Poker Face

 

 

“Jude Law approaches Hamlet with focus, determination and the adrenaline level of an Olympic competitor. He fills the theater to the saturation point. This is one production in which you FEEL THE HEAT OF ENERGY FROM THE STAGE.” -Ben Brantley, The New York Times

“ * * * *  (of 4)! JUDE LAW IS ELECTRIFYING! Michael Grandage’s Hamlet is PURE, BRAVE, BEAUTIFUL and as ROBUSTLY EXCITING as you’re likely to see. It’s tough to imagine a more EXHILARATING way to spend three hours sitting down. IF YOU CAN SCORE TICKETS, THIS PLAY’S THE THING TO SEE.” -Elysa Gardner, USA Today

“(4 ½ stars out of 5)! JUDE LAW gives a SPINE-TINGLING and RICHLY LAYERED PERFORMANCE in HAMLET. HE HOLDS YOU RAPT. What sets this interpretation apart isn’t just Law’s performance, but Michael Grandage’s EXCELLENT direction. Grandage’s HAMLET is LEAN, FOCUSED and ELECTRIFYING, with FRESH COATS OF INSPIRATION.” –Joe Dziemianowicz, Daily News 

“JUDE LAW commands virtually every scene with the EFFORTLESS VIRTUOSITY of a Shakespearean action hero. The fine actor has a DASHING, HIGH-ENERGY CONFIDENCE, a focused, varied voice and a lithe physical power that propels him from spotlight to spotlight.” -Linda Winer, Newsday

Donmar Warehouse receives 10 Olivier Award nominations

DONMAR WAREHOUSE RECEIVES 10 OLIVIER AWARD NOMINATIONS
FOR A RECORD NUMBER OF FIVE PRODUCTIONS

The Donmar Warehouse today received 10 Olivier nominations across five productions – this is the most number of productions that have been nominated in any one year in the company’s history. The five productions, out of a total of eight staged this year, are Red, A Streetcar Named Desire and A Doll’s House at the company’s home base in Covent Garden, and Madame de Sade and Hamlet – part of the Donmar’s sell-out West End season at the Wyndham’s Theatre.
 
Michael Grandage’s production of the world première of John Logan’s Red, which recently closed at the Donmar and will shortly transfer to Broadway, receives three nominations – Best Supporting Actor for Eddie Redmayne, Best New Play and Best Set Design for Christopher Oram (who has already won the Critics’ Circle Award for Best Design for this production).
 
Grandage also receives a nomination for Best Director for Hamlet which, following performances at the Wyndham’s Theatre, transferred to Elsinore, and then Broadway. Jude Law who led the company as Hamlet also receives a nomination for Best Actor. Law also recently won the award for Best Shakespearean Performance at the Critics’ Circle Awards for the same role. Jude Law said today, “Returning to the theatre, to play Hamlet in the Donmar’s West End Season and to take it to both Elsinore and Broadway, has been something of an epic journey and has meant an enormous amount to me. To receive an Olivier nomination as well is the icing on the cake and I am absolutely thrilled.”

Rachel Weisz, fresh from winning both the Critics’ Circle and Evening Standard Awards, is nominated for Best Actress for her performance as Blanche DuBois in A Streetcar Named Desire. She goes head to head with Gillian Anderson who is recognised for her performance as Nora in A Doll’s House.
 
In addition to Best Actress, Donmar Associate Director Rob Ashford’s production of A Streetcar Named Desire also receives nominations for Best Revival and Best Supporting Actress for Ruth Wilson.
 
Designer Christopher Oram takes a second nomination for Best Costume Design for his work on Madame de Sade – part of the West End season.
 
Michael Grandage, Artistic Director of the Donmar said today, “2009 was one of the most significant years in the Donmar’s history as we played to our widest audience base since the organisation was formed. To be recognised with ten Olivier nominations across five productions is a very great honour and a testament to all the extraordinary people who have worked for the Donmar in the last twelve months.”
