An exquisite presentation of the actor’s craft’' - Irish Independent '[Gambon] a masterful and generous performer… by turns an icy phantom haunted by memories, then a gleefully skipping fabulist' - Irish Times Performances: |

No Man's Land ‘You are in no man’s land. Which never moves, which never changes, which never grows older, but which remains forever, icy and silent' From the pen of one of our greatest living playwrights, comes Nobel Prize laureate Harold Pinter's superb tragicomic gem about two aging writers, Hirst and Spooner. After meeting on Hampstead Heath, they return to Hirst's house where they are watched over by his two sinister henchmen, Briggs and Foster. Starring Michael Gambon, David Bradley, David Walliams, in his West End debut, and Nick Dunning, this unique and haunting play, directed by Rupert Goold, is part mystery drama, part homage to the ghosts of the past and the fiction of memory. Michael Gambon (Hirst) has worked extensively in theatre, film and television including The Singing Detective, Sleepy Hollow, Gosford Park, Sylvia, Layer Cake, Amazing Grace and the Headmaster of Hogwarts, Professor Albus Dumbledore, in four Harry Potter films. Theatre credits include Cressida (Almeida), The Caretaker (Comedy Theatre), A Number (The Royal Court), Endgame (Albery) Henry IV Parts 1 & 2 (National Theatre) and Eh Joe (Duke of York’s Theatre). David Bradley (Spooner) television and film credits include the caretaker Argus Filch in all the Harry Potter films, Hot Fuzz, Nicholas Nickelby, Vanity Fair, Our Friends in the North. Theatre credits include The Quiz (Trafalgar Studios), The Caretaker (Sheffield Theatre), The Homecoming (National Theatre), the title roles in Henry IV Parts 1 & 2, The Night Season, The Mysteries and King Lear, all at the National Theatre. David Walliams (Foster) makes his West End debut in No Man’s Land. Walliams is best known for his work on television as half of the comedy duo that created the hugely popular BBC series Little Britain. Other television and film credits include Rather You Than Me, Randall and Hopkirk Deceased, Capturing Mary, The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, Run Fat Boy Run, A Cock and Bull Story and Stardust. Nick Dunning (Briggs) television and film credits include The Tudors, Waking the Dead, Midsomer Murders. Theatre credits include Betrayal (Gate Theatre, Dublin) The Home Place and The Homecoming (The Gate Theatre, Dublin and Comedy Theatre, London), Our Country’s Good (Royal Court) and The Taming of the Shrew (Royal Shakespeare Company). Rupert Goold is Artistic Director of Headlong Theatre. His directorial credits include Rough Crossings, Paradise Lost, Restoration (all for Headlong), The Glass Menagerie (Apollo), The Tempest, Speaking Like Magpies (both for RSC), Hamlet, Insignificance, Betrayal and Othello (all for Northampton Theatre Royal). Most recently he directed The Last Days of Judas Iscariot (Almeida), and later this year he will direct Cameron Macintosh’s Oliver! at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane. He won the 2008 Laurence Olivier Award for Best Director and 2007 Evening Standard, Critic’s Circle and South Bank Show Awards for his production of Macbeth (Chichester, Gielgud).
