VIDEO: The Old Vic – Other Desert Cities
Jon Robin Baitz, having cut his teeth on television with writing credits for ‘Brothers And Sisters’ and contributing to scripts on ‘The West Wing’, has started his theatre career with a bang! Other Desert Cities took broadway by storm and now the Old Vic plays host to this impressive debut.
Starring: Sinead Cusack, Peter Egan, Clare Higgins, Daniel Lapaine and Martha Plimpton.
Economically and confidently directed by Lindsay Posner.
A simple and effective design by Robert Innes Hopkins.
Lighting by Peter Mumford, Sound by Christopher Shutt and music by Michael Bruce.
Once again The Old Vic is masterfully transformed from a deep playhouse, with a thrust stage that often seems cavernous, into an intimate “in the round” set-up. I love it in this this format.
