Rosamund Pike to return to West End next year
Friday, 19 November 2010
Fans of Rosamund Pike may be pleased to know that the actress is to make a return to the West End next year.
According to the Daily Mail's Baz Bamigboye, she will take the lead role in Henrik Ibsen's Hedda Gabler, which will open in Bath in February 2011 before transferring to an as-yet unknown London venue soon afterwards.
The columnist praised Pike for her skill in a variety of roles, pointing out that she has been particularly successful as comedic characters of late.
Hedda Gabler was first published by Norwegian Ibsen in 1890. Although it premiered the following year with a host of negative reviews, it has since grown to become recognised as a classic piece of theatre.
The most recent Ibsen play to be seen in the West End was Ghosts, which opened at the Duchess Theatre in February 2010.
It was praised by critics including Anthony Sher from the Guardian.
