[…] Ben Daniels is a stiff-collared, upright naval lieutenant, turning red with indignation. While Kevin McNally’s crisply dressed, authoritative consul has a toad like implacability. Impressive, all of them. […]

CURIOSITY

Many thanks to actor-photographer David Sibley, who sent to me some interesting memories on “Naked”!

<<The play was a Pirandello play that I was in with Ben at the Almeida theatre and then transferred to the West End in London in 1997/98. […] We did Naked at the Almeida theatre in London and then in the West End at the Playhouse theatre in 1997/98. Apart from Ben and Kevin there was Juliette Binoche, Oliver Ford Davies, Anita Reeves, Romy Baskerville and me. It was in a new translation by Nicholas Wright and was a huge success. It was beautifully directed by Jonathan Kent with an amazing design by Paul Brown. We were quite a small cast and it was an extremely happy show. Juliette was a lovely leading lady and we all got on extremely well. Kevin is an old friend anyway – I’ve worked with him a few times as an actor and we stay in touch regularly.>>   Go to his site and see his beautiful photos behind the scenes
