Marber, Mamet, Etc., to be Part of '06-'07 Donmar Season

An adaptation of Don Juan by Patrick Marber, as well as a Mamet revival and Ibsen adaptation, will be among the highlights of the Donmar Warehouse's 2006-2007 season.

First up will be the previously-announced Frost/Nixon.  The show is centered around the legendary 1977 interviews between ex-president and the celebrity interviewer of the title.  Donmar Artistic director Michael Grandage (Guys and Dolls, Evita on the West End) directs, while Frank Langella (Fortune's Fool, Dracula) and Michael Sheen (Amadeus on the West End) will star.  The show runs August 10th through October 7th.

A revival of David Mamet's 1994 play The Crytogram, directed by Josie Rourke, will begin previews on October 12th and open on October 17th.

Closer playwright Marber's Don Juan in Soho will also be presented--from November 30th through February 10th, 2007.  Updated from the Moliere classic, it will be set in the seedy corners of modern Soho in London.  Grandage will direct, as he also will John Gabriel Borkman. The lesser-known Henrik Ibsen classic, which begins previews on February 15th and runs through April 14th, will be seen in its new David Eldridge adaptation, with Tony Award-winner Ian McDiarmid (Faith Healer) as its star.
