BWW Invite: Attend SAG Foundation Career Conversations with Company of WOLF HALL

Screen Actors Guild Foundation and Broadway World have partnered for a filmed Conversations Q&A series to recognize and celebrate the vibrant theatre community in New York City and the actors who aspire to have a career on the stage and screen. On April 17th, 2015 (2pm to 3:30pm), please join us for a career Conversations at The New School-Auditorium on 12th Street (66 West 12th Street), with Wolf Hall: Parts I and II lead cast members Nathaniel Parker (King Henry VIII), Ben Miles (Thomas Cromwell), Lydia Leonard (Anne Boleyn) and Director Jeremy Herrin and moderated by Broadway World's Richard Ridge of "Backstage with Richard Ridge!"

Set in 1527 Tudor England, in the volatile court of King Henry VIII comes a gripping story of power, intrigue and persuasion. Performed in repertory, Wolf Hall: Parts I and II are based on the two best-selling novels by two-time Man Booker Prize winner Dame Hilary Mantel. The plays sold out at Stratford-upon-Avon and their London transfer received critical raves, broke box office records and triumphed as the West End's biggest hit plays. The original London production is currently nominated for Olivier Awards for Best New Play, Best Director (Herrin), Best Supporting Actor (Parker), Best Costume Design (Oram), and Best Lighting Design (Constable and Plater). Wolf Hall: Parts I and II are currently in previews. Opening date: April 9, 2015.
