Photo Flash: Geoffrey Rush in BAM's DIARY OF A MADMAN

One of Australia's most respected theater companies, Belvoir returns to BAM with the US premiere of The Diary of a Madman, featuring Academy, Emmy, and Tony Award winner Geoffrey Rush and directed by renowned Belvoir co-founder Neil Armfield. See below for a first look of Rush in the production!

Longtime theater and film collaborators, Armfield directed Rush in the original 1989 Belvoir production of The Diary of a Madman. They worked together most recently on the Belvoir St Theatre production of Ionesco's Exit the King; Rush was awarded the 2009 Tony Award for Best Actor for the Broadway production. The Diary of a Madman-a two-hander featuring Yael Stone-has been restaged for the first time in more than 20 years and is currently running in a sold-out engagement at Sydney's Belvoir St Theatre.
