Speaking of Bath

It looks like Ralph Fiennes will be in town for a while if you happen to be there:

The Theatre Royal Bath has announced a new season programmed by actor and director Ralph Fiennes.

The Ralph Fiennes / Theatre Royal Bath season will take place from
June 2025 and will feature stars including Gloria Obianyo and Harriet
Walter.

The season opens with the world premiere of a new play by David Hare
called Grace Pervades (27 June to 19 July 2025).

Starring Ralph Fiennes, the play will be directed by Jeremy Herrin
(Long Day’s Journey Into Night), and is a co-production with his
company Second Half Productions.

Grace Pervades tells the extraordinary story of Henry Irving and Ellen
Terry, the greatest stars of the Victorian stage, and Ellen’s troubled
and brilliant children – Edith Craig and Edward Gordon Craig – who
made their own profound contribution to the development of British
theatre. Ralph Fiennes will play Henry Irving.

The season then includes a revival of William Shakespeare’s As You
Like It (15 August to 6 September 2025), directed by Ralph Fiennes and
starring Ian Charleson Award winner Gloria Obianyo (King Lear) as
Rosalind and Harriet Walter (House of Bernarda Alba, Succession) as
Jaques.

Both productions will be designed by Bob Crowley, with further
creatives to be announced along with further casting. Also additional
shows in the season are going to be announced soon.

There are no current details on whether the partnership with Ralph
Fiennes and the Theatre Royal Bath is long-running, or for only one
season.
